ABSTRACT:
A watt-hour metering system includes a meter enclosed in a transparent cover and having an electronic register with a multichannel infra-red responsive data I/O port, and a portable electronic programmer/reader having a complementary infra-red data I/O port. The meter includes a pivoting shutter inside the cover having a pair of magnets affixed thereto and held by gravity in a position to shield at least one channel of the I/O port from radiation entering the cover. An activating magnet is affixed to the programmer/reader such that when the programmer/reader is placed against the meter cover, magnetic flux is coupled to the shutter magnets to cause the shutter to pivot and permit the transmission of infra-red radiation between the I/O port and the programmer/reader. Alternatively, a shutter is pivotally secured to the cover and manually operable from outside the cover to selectively permit and prevent transmission of radiation between the I/O port and programmer/reader.
