Configuring relay outputs using the front panel
You can use the front panel to configure the relay outputs.
1. Navigate to Maint > Setup.
2. Enter the setup password (default is “0”), then press OK.
3. Navigate to I/O > Relay.
4. Move the cursor to point to the relay output you want to set up, then press Edit.
5. Move the cursor to point to the parameter you want to modify, then press Edit.
NOTE: If Edit is not displayed, it means the parameter is either read-only or can only
be modified through software.
6. Modify the parameter as required, then press OK.
7. Move the cursor to point to the next parameter you want to modify, press Edit,
make your changes, then press OK.

Control Mode External, Alarm
This displays how the relay output functions.
• External: the relay output is controlled remotely
either through software or by a PLC using
commands sent through communications.
• Alarm: the relay output is associated with the
alarm system. The meter sends a pulse to the
relay output port when the alarm is triggered.
Behavior Mode Normal, Timed, Coil Hold
• Normal: this applies when control mode is set to
External or Alarm. The relay output remains in
the ON state until an OFF command is sent by
the computer or PLC.
• Timed: the relay output remains ON for the period
defined by the On Time setup register.
• Coil Hold: this applies when control mode is set to
External or Alarm. For a unary alarm that is
associated with a relay output, you must set
Behavior Mode to Coil Hold. The output turns on
when the “energize” command is received and
turns off when the “coil hold release” command is
received. In the event of a control power loss, the
output remembers and returns to the state it was
in when control power was lost.
