Use this field to change the default label and assign a
descriptive name to this digital input.
Control Mode
Normal, Demand Sync, Input
Metering, Multi-Tariff
This field displays how the digital input functions.
• Normal: the digital input is either associated with a
digital input alarm, or it is not associated with
another meter function. The meter counts and
records the number of incoming pulses normally.
• Demand Sync: the digital input is associated with
one of the input sync demand functions. The meter
uses the incoming pulse to synchronize its demand
period with the external source.
• Input Metering: the digital input is associated with
one of the input metering channels. The meter
counts and records the number of incoming pulses
and related consumption data associated with the
pulses.
• Multi-Tariff: the digital input is associated with the
multi-tariff function. See “Input mode overview” on
page 105.
Debounce 0 to 1000
Debounce is the time delay that compensates for
mechanical contact bounce. Use this field to set how
long (in milliseconds) the external signal must remain in
a certain state to be considered a valid state change.
Allowable values are increments of 10 (i.e., 10, 20, 30,
etc., up to 1000 ms).
Associations —
This field displays additional information if the digital
input is already associated with another meter function.
