Optical Port Setup for Energy Pulsing

To configure the optical (infrared) port for energy pulsing, you must set the
Infrared Comm communications module Protocol register to INFRARED I/O. Use the
meter’s front panel or ACCESS software to set the IR pulsing.
Setting the IR Pulsing using the Front Panel
1. From the SELECT SETUP menu, choose QUICK SETUP > INFRARED COMM > IR1
PROTOCOL > INFRARED I/O.
2. Choose SELECT SETUP > ADV METER SETUP > CALIBRATION PULSER MODULES.
3. Select the module you wish to use for pulsing (kWh Pulse, for example).
4. Choose the Port setup register from the menu provided, then select IR LED.
Setting the IR Pulsing using Designer

Ethernet Connections
Refer to the “Hardware Reference” chapter for the Ethernet port specifications.
10Base-T Ethernet connections are made via the RJ45 modular port on the left side
of the unit. Use high quality Category 3 or 5 UTP (CAT 5 unshielded twisted pair
recommended) cable with a male RJ45 modular connector for connection to the
10Base-T port. The meter’s optional 10Base-T Ethernet port is capable of data rates
up to 10Mbps, and supports ION, Modbus RTU, and Modbus/TCP protocols.
The meter supports a single connection at a time to one of these three IP Service
Ports: ION, Modbus/TCP, or Modbus RTU. WebMeter is accessible at the same
time, as are connections to Ethergate and MeterM@il as long as these features are
available on your meter.
