E 07 is a common error code in conlog prepayment meters. This error code could
mean:
1, available voltage is below minimum operating voltage (160volt) of the meter.
2, there is a faulty component in the meter.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of prepayment meters?


Prepayment meters can be a useful tool for managing your energy costs. As the name suggests
they require you to pay for your energy in advance. With a prepayment meter it’s much easier to
avoid building up a debt for your gas and electricity.

Below we’ve put together a list of pros and cons of having one:

Advantages of prepayment meters

 You’re in control of how much and how often you top up.
 You don’t have to worry about building up debt as you purchase your energy before you use
it making you more aware of your running energy costs.
 You always have an idea of what your remaining balance is as it’s displayed clearly on the
meter screen which helps you avoid nasty surprises.
 You don’t receive and bills, you pay in advance.
 Prepayment meters will have an ‘Emergency Credit’ facility which offers a set amount of
extra credit in case you run out of your pre-paid credit, giving you time to top-up your meter
before you would lose supply.
 Prepayment electricity meters meter have a ‘Friendly Credit’ or ‘no-disconnect’ mode that
operates at certain hours of the day and/or night. In these hours, considered to be the most
inconvenient times to be without energy, you will not lose supply even if Emergency Credit
has not been activated or it has run out.
 You can use your prepayment meter to repay any outstanding money you owe us. Your
payments are spread over a time period that suits you, in agreed amounts that you can
afford, interest-free.

Disadvantages of Prepayment meters

 Prepayment meters are more expensive to operate than other types of meter which means
you might not be able to access the cheapest tariffs available 
 Topping up at a local newsagent, petrol station or supermarket is inconvenient (especially
when it’s cold)
 If your prepayment meter has run out of credit and your supply is off, to restore your supply
you will need to access your meters directly which may be positioned out of easy reach.
 Your supply will turn off if your prepayment meter runs out of credit outside of ‘Friendly
Credit’ hours, and your ‘Emergency Credit’ has been used or has not been activated. It may
not be possible to restore your supply until your meter is topped-up again and is in positive
credit.
 If your prepayment meter has run out of credit and your supply is off, you may need to repay
any ‘Emergency Credit’, ‘Friendly Credit’ or any outstanding amount owed, before your
supply will come back on. You may also need to account for any debt repayment plan that
has been agreed. This could mean you need to top-up a bit more than you usually would so
please be aware this may affect your budgeting.
 Your energy usage will almost certainly increase during winter months; meaning your weekly
top-ups would also have to increase. When you ‘pay-as-you-go’ this may be even more
noticeable and have greater impact on your daily and weekly budgeting. It may help to
spread out your payments evenly over the year to build up credit during the summer months,
ready for the winter.
 If you leave home for several days, you must remember to charge your key or card, and to
credit your meter. This is because your credit is used to pay for your daily standing charge
(on selected tariffs) and any debt repayments – so if you don’t charge your meter enough
before going away, appliances that you may want to have on all the time (for example,
freezers) may switch off.
