Research and Production Company "Incotex" Ltd (further - The Company) produces energy meters since 2001. Product range includes now over 60 meter models of “Mercury ” family: from single-phase domestic one-tariff meters to meters designed for registration of active and reactive electric energy in one or two directions in multi-tariff mode to be used in three- or four-wire alternating current networks. All meters can operate both in autonomous mode and in AMR system.

With all wide variety of manufactured products high common design and technological level unite the company. Best specialists in the field are involved to energy meters development.

The company owns two scientific research laboratories as well cooperates actively with scientists from other scientific institutions.

All meters of “Mercury ” family include fire-proof plastic case and state-of-the-art design. Its structure makes possible installation either on traditional panel or on DIN-rack. All produced meters have fourfold metrological measurements accuracy capacity and low power consumption and they are registered in State Register of measuring instruments. Some produced meters provide not only registration of energy and network parameters but also record measuring results in internal memory with access only for authorized persons.

AMR “Mercury PLC” ensures automated data collection directly from consumer energy meters through power line 220/380 V. Technical solutions applied in PLC modems have best performances among similar systems and protected by international patents PCT / RU 2004/000398 and PCT / RU 2004/000390. System distinctive features are very high reliability of data transmission, very low self power consumption and exploitation expenses, low cost of one registration point that is approximately 1,5-2 lower than with similar systems. There is a possibility to build-in PLC modems to any meters for data collection of energy consumption through power line 220V.

During the development of meters structure considerable attention was drawn to meters protection from false indications. There is “electronic seal” in meters plus some other special solutions, which leave out any possibility of unauthorized access to meter.

The company used only foremost technologies and electronic components for meters development, from leading world manufacturers well known to specialists: Texas Instruments , Analog Devices , Epcos , Vishay , Philips . High-speed SMT lines from Juki (Japan) are used for surface mounting. Total capacity of SMT lines is nearly 110 000 components in hour.

Strict products quality control is the first priority in the company. There is internal circuit control of units and optical control systems from Marantz for SMT mounting tests. Calibration of meters, which is crucial for further operation, is performed by computer, without mans assistance.

Energy meters “Mercury ” are certified by RAO EES of Russia and can be used on any energy objects without limitations.

In March 2004 quality management system of the company is certified to the conformity of standard requirements of ГОСТ Р ISO 9001:2008 and DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 with obtaining national certificate in the system ГОСТ Р and international certificate of world certification body TUV-CERT.

The company places high emphasis to constant training and retraining of personnel. Over 150 people are engaged in the company and all of them attend special professional development courses regularly as well as seminars.

Energy meters of the company with “Mercury ” trademark are supplied presently to ten foreign countries. New markets are under development. The company participates in the most prestigious international fairs: in Germany (Hannover Messe , CeBIT ), Italy, India, Bulgaria, Serbia. In Russia the customers of The Company. are the biggest energy companies: Mosenergo, Donenergo and many others.

Production facilities of the company enable production of over 80.000 different meters per month. There is a network of service and guarantee repair centers for customers in Russia, which is constantly growing. The company holds seminars on its own premises for business partmers and also at consumer territory.

The aim of the company is to appear before consumer not only as supplier of equipment and technical solutions but also as long-term and reliable partner with mutually beneficial relations for long prospect. We are sure that consumer can find optimum equipment for his specific task among our measuring equipment.
