Ampy 5188A ElectroCard Prepayment Meter + 925 x £20 Cards – Huge Bundle – Working

Description

Complete Ampy / Digicard ElectroCard prepayment setup including a working Ampy 5188A card meter and a very large quantity of matching £20 prepayment cards.

Ideal for landlords, holiday parks, garages, workshops or similar sites already using this type of card meter system.

What’s included

1 x Ampy Digicard ElectroCard prepayment electricity meter
Model / Type: 5188A
Rating: 230V, 1PH 2W 50Hz, 20–100A (see rating plate in photos)
Approximately 925 x £20 electricity prepayment cards (magnetic unit cards) matched to this meter
1 x programming / manager card
Printed instructions for operation and tariff settings (if you have them, otherwise delete this line)
The meter powers up and operates correctly. The cards are from this same setup and are coded to work with this style of Ampy 5188A ElectroCard meter. This is a privately owned sub‑meter, not a supplier‑owned main meter.
Cards and “value”

These are £20 denomination electricity prepayment cards for a card‑operated sub‑meter, not bank or gift cards. On paper the bundle represents potential prepayment value (925 × £20) when used in this system.

The asking price is based on real‑world replacement cost of card stock and meter hardware, not on full face value. Specialist suppliers charge tens of pounds per 100 cards plus the cost of a replacement meter, so this bundle is priced fairly for someone actively running this kind of installation.

Compatibility / security
The meter uses coded magnetic cards. Cards must match the internal code programmed into the meter or they will be rejected.

The cards in this bundle are matched to this Ampy 5188A’s coding and are intended to be used with this meter (or others programmed to the same code).

Cards from other meters may not work in this meter, and these cards may not work in other meters unless their internal codes match.

If you already run similar meters and want to check likely compatibility, please message with details of your existing setup before buying.

How it works (brief)
Insert a £20 card fully and firmly into the slot in the direction of the arrows. The meter reads the card and transfers the credit; once transferred, the card is “spent” and should be discarded (used cards show a small indentation).

Tariff, standing charge and emergency credit can be set using the programming card and instructions so the meter is ready to use as soon as it is installed.

This arrangement allows you to collect electricity payments in advance on a simple pay‑as‑you‑go basis, which suits many landlords and site owners.

Condition

The meter shows normal cosmetic signs from previous installation but nothing that affects function. The card bundle is supplied exactly as shown in the photos and sold in good faith as suitable for use with this meter. Please study the photos carefully as they form part of the description.
