Modem Service
Duquesne Light Company (DLC) will upgrade your existing metering to include a meter equipped with a modem that will collect electricity usage data every 15 minutes. You purchase, install and maintain a phone line to your meter location. We will connect the meter to your phone line and then call the meter daily to provide your facility's interval data. With the appropriate software and your phone line, you can access your meter data and perform your own analysis. To enroll, contact your Duquesne Light Representative at 412-393-7100. If you have multiple meters and locations, you will need to specify which meters you are requesting data for. Upon receipt of payment for Fees and Enrollment, a period of 6-10 weeks is normally required by Duquesne Light to purchase and install the equipment. Once all equipment is set and ready for use, your Duquesne Light Representative will contact you.
Pulse Service
We upgrade existing metering to include a meter equipped with a pulse output for use with your own energy management system. You purchase, install and maintain a pulse recorder near your meter location. We will connect the pulse outputs from the meter to a pulse interface device to which you can attach. With your pulse recorder in place, you can collect your facility's energy usage data and review via your own energy management system and/or translation software.
