[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] An operation control method of a monitoring system of a smart meter box is used to operate the meter box in the monitoring system of the smart meter box in the first embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the steps include:

[0046] S100, determining the location information of the target electric meter box through the monitoring terminal and obtaining operation authority;

[0049] S400: The controller guides the operation of the target smart meter through the touch screen display according to the operation process information.

[0050] In step S400, the touch screen display guides the operation of the target smart meter. The process is to first prompt the specific operation position, then tell the operator the first operation step, and when the operator completes the first operation step, prompt whether the operation is correct. If not, continue to prompt the first operation step. If correct, prompt the next operation step until the operation is completely completed, and then prompt the operation is completed.

[0051] It should be noted that when a speaker electrically connected to the controller is provided, the controller can also provide voice guidance to the operator through the speaker.

[0052] Specifically, step S200 includes: inputting the operation process information into the controller through the monitoring terminal. This method is a complete work order method. The operator can send the operation process information to the target controller on the monitoring terminal before going to the site, so as to prompt the operation process after arriving at the site.

[0053] As an implementable embodiment, step S200 may also be: inputting the operation process information into the controller through the touch screen display. This method is a manual entry method. After arriving at the site, the operator can input the operation process information into the controller through the touch screen display to provide prompts for the operation process.

[0054] It should be noted that when an electronic lock is set on the meter box, the operator must first obtain the location information of the target meter box on the monitoring terminal and obtain authorization to open the electronic lock before going to the site to operate the target meter box.
