Digital outputs
The meter is equipped with a digital output port (D1). You can configure the digital output
for use in the following application:
• energy pulsing applications, where a receiving device determines energy usage by
counting the k_h pulses (k_h = kWh, kVARh or kVAh depending on the energy
parameter selected) coming from the meter’s digital output port.
The digital output can handle voltages less than 40 V DC. For higher voltage applications,
use an external relay in the switching circuit.
