Abstract
A sealed utility meter having internal automatic disconnection. The meter contains a battery source of power for energizing the circuitry and is used in its operating environment in a horizontal position. In order to minimize battery drain prior to operation the meter is provided with a tilt switch mounted at a substantially 45.degree. angle to horizontal to energize the meter when it is in its operating position and deenergize the meter when it is removed from that position. The meter is packed in a container with packaging material which determines the packed position of the meter and the packing carton is provided with indicia to indicate the proper shipping and storage orientation of the carton. When the meter is thus packed and the carton thus oriented the circuitry is deenergized.
