Viewing input metering data
You can use the front panel to view the input metering data.
Using the meter’s display
Navigate to the energy screens and select the input metering channel to (Ch1 - Ch4) to
view the data.
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.
