Chapter 6—Input / Output
This section describes the meter’s output features.
The meter is equipped with one digital output port.
After you wire the meter’s output ports, you can configure the port so you can use the meter to perform I/O functions.
Digital output applications
The digital output can 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.
