The Top Five Security Seals That Metering Devices Need

One of the security seals that metering devices need are padlock seals with solid wire hasps. These can be as simple or complex as you would like, which makes them flexible for various skill sets. They can be easily cut with tools you can find around the home, but you can take more extensive measures if you require more security. In fact, meters use more advanced padlock seals in order to detect or meter vehicles as they drive away.

The second option to consider is plastic padlock seals. Also known as demand seals, largely due to how common they are alongside demand meters, these require a little more attention. The main reason for this is that they require new seals at regular intervals. With that said, they can be easily applied and removed, even on smaller devices that may be more difficult to work with. This is yet another option that metering devices would do well to have.

What about wire seals, which are noteworthy in their own right? Not only can they be used at varying wire lengths, but they are long-lasting to boot. In fact, it is not unfathomable for them to be used for years without any serious setbacks. The fact that they can withstand different weather conditions makes them that much more effective. Keep this option in mind if you are looking for something that will provide versatility and longevity alike.

Pull-up cable seals are ideal for security reasons, too. One of the reasons for this is that they go through no-tool installation, meaning that minimal effort will be required on your end in this respect. It is also worth noting that they are used for various applications ranging from current transformers to tool storage. This is yet another option that provides substantial security and versatility, which only provides greater worth.

Fifth, tamper-evident security labels are ideal for more short-term situations. One of the most common examples entail meters in transit. When a label is applied and soon removed from said meter, it leaves behind a message like "Opened." This type of warning label provides a greater level of security for a more short-term situation. This is worth keeping in mind if you are tasked with a situation that does not require more extensive measures.
