How to FIX KPLC Meter Connection Failed

There are several potential reasons why your prepaid meter may fail to connect: here are some of the most common ones:

• Low battery: The batteries in your meter may be drained, preventing a successful connection. Replace the batteries and try again.
• Faulty CIU cable or adapter: The cable or adapter connecting your Consumer Interface Unit(CIU) to the power outlet could be damaged or defective. Try a different cable or adapter to rule this out.
• No batteries in the CIU: If using batteries in the CIU, ensure they are correctly inserted and not drained. Replace if needed.
• Tripped circuit breakers: Check that the circuit breakers for your meter have not tripped and are in the ‘on’ position. Reset if tripped.
• Damaged meter components: In rare cases, the meter’s internal parts could be damaged or faulty. Contact KPLC customer service to test and repair/replace the meter if the above steps do not resolve the issue.
