The Privacy PIN shall be disabled, and/or the value set to Zeroes.
All parameters that can be used to hold future dated data items shall be empty.
Alerts shall be configured such that an Alert is sent on any occurrence, but no action is taken
by the meter with respect to the state of Supply.
The Auxiliary Load Control Switch calendar shall be empty.
The Auxiliary Load Control Switch description array shall be empty.
The thresholds that relate to voltages greater than nominal shall be set to the maximum
possible value.
