Digital output applications
Switching applications, for example, to provide on/off control signals for switching capacitor banks, generators, and other external devices and equipment.
Energy pulsing applications, where a receiving device determines energy usage by counting the kWh pulses coming from the meter’s digital output port.
Unary, digital and standard alarm configurations.
Wiring the digital output
Default digital output state
The default digital output state for I/O pin is high (switch closed). The digital output state for I/O pin can be changed through communication.

Demand parameter for digital output
The associating demand parameters (Present demand (VA, W, VAR), Last demand (VA, W, VAR) and Predict demand (VA, W, VAR)) can be configured for digital output based on alarm events when exceeds the set upper limit. Only one demand parameter can be set at a given time.
