    Have the bord gais prepayment meter, and Im having some trouble with it ... when you run out of credit on the card, it stops the flow of gas from the meter outside. So when you put credit back on the card and into the machine , theres some button or other you need to press in n around the meter itself to start the flow again... Anyone know where this button is?

    I have gone out with a torch and looked all over inside the box and cant see it.. its not the two buttons at the front under the display either..

    Just press the red button on the front. You may need to press and hold for a few seconds with the card in the machine

    It's a requirement that a soundness test is carried out before the low pressure lock out is reset.

    You could try ringing BG and ask their advise.

    The reset button is there for whenever a reset is required after a safety device to detect low pressure/leak has kicked in, I'm sure that anytime you may have to reset it then it will be down to the boiler, but you have to be careful that you don't reset it when it's ativated due to a leak.

    Hi Isli,

    We have just moved into a house with a prepay meter and are having the same problem as you. Where did you find the button on the meter?

    Please be aware these are safety devices and you could have a gas leak, by resetting the device you could allow gas to leak in to your property.

    I would ring board gais first to have the pipework tested for leaks before resetting the device.

    Explosions are rare but they do happen, paranoia is a beautiful thing.
