Section 2: How to Recharge (Vend Tokens)

This is the most critical process in the Siemens Cashpower 2000 pre paid meter user manual. You purchase a 20-digit token (usually via SMS, app, or retail store) and enter it into the meter.

Front Panel & Indicators

• LCD screen: shows kWh, credit remaining, alarms, and menu prompts.
• Keypad: numeric keys (0–9), Enter key, and possibly function keys (e.g., A, B, C).
• LED indicators: Power ON, Supply OK, and Alarm/Low Credit.
• Token slot: (if fitted) or purely keypad token entry.

Duplicate Token Warning

If you try to enter the same 20-digit code twice, the meter will display Error 10 or “Already Used.” This is a security feature to prevent fraud. You do not lose credit if this happens.
