El sistema utiliza el concepto de medidor bicuerpo ("split meter"), donde el medidor y los componentes de control del medidor se localizan alejados del usuario, a nivel poste, de tal manera que los interruptores de conexión y desconexión no están al alcance del usuario evitando posibles intervenciones de los mismos y minimizando el manejo indebido del medidor.

The solution comprises two elements, a measurement control unit (MCU), more commonly known as
the meter and a user interface unit (UIU) which is the consumer’s keypad interface.
The installation is termed "split" or "split metering", as the metering device is separated from the
consumer’s interface. The meter is housed outside the consumer’s premises, for example in a street
kiosk or pole top box, which enables easy access for the utility.

El medidor bi-cuerpo es único ya que separa la Unidad Interface del Usuario (UIU) de la Unidad de Control y Medición (MCU. La MCU es montada en una situación conveniente para la autoridad de suministro de electricidad, al tiempo que la UIU es instalada dentro de la propiedad del usuario.

Pre-paid split meters were introduced in areas like Soweto because people were tampering with meter boxes and stealing electricity, a civil society conference on the country’s electricity crisis heard on Thursday. A split meter is divided into a pad put into each person’s home, while the rest of the device is in a tamper-proof box on the pavement or on a pole outside the house, explained Mbulelo Ncetezo, executive manager for electricity regulation at the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa). “Split metering was brought about by people tampering with the meter reader housing.”

The system uses the concept of bibody meter ( "split meter"), where the meter and control components of the meter are located away from the user-level post, so that switches on and off are not available to the avoiding possible interventions user thereof and minimizing the improper handling of the meter.

*It seems that in journalism, it's often referred to as smart meters/metering, a concept that can include other innovations as well. In technical documents, like the one you're translating, I only see split meters.

Also, it's often referred to as a split prepaid meter or split prepayment meter.

The prepaid meters that we study are known as split prepaid meters, because the actual meter is located outside the home in a locked kiosk, with only the display and keypad inside of the home. Communication between the meter and the in-home display is by wire or radio frequency. This design minimizes the risk of tampering and allows the utility to perform maintenance more easily.

But I probably would leave out the prepaid part, since your manual doesn't mention that aspect, as likely as it may be.
