NOTE: The display screen shows accumulation values from 0 to 99999. The display rolls over to zero when accumulated value reaches 100000 and starts incrementing again.

Digital output applications

Digital outputs are typically used in switching applications, for example, to provide on/off control signals for switching capacitor banks, generators, and other external devices and equipment. They can also be used in demand synchronization applications, where the meter provides pulse signals to the input of another meter to control its demand period.

The digital output can also be used in energy pulsing applications, where a receiving device determines energy usage by counting the kWh pulses coming from the meter’s digital output port.
