Digital output applications

After you wire the digital output as per the connection diagram below, you can configure the digital output for energy pulsing applications.

The digital output can be used in 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.

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Apply appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E, CSA Z462 or other local standards. Turn off all power supplying this device and the equipment in which it is installed before working on or in the equipment. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off. Assume communications and I/O wiring are hazardous live until determined otherwise. Do not exceed the maximum ratings of this device. Do not use this device for critical control or protection of persons, animals, property or equipment. Do not use the data from the meter to confirm power is off. Replace all devices, doors and covers before turning on power to this equipment. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
unexpected change of state of the digital output Verify the state of the digital output when the power supply to the meter is interrupted or after a meter firmware upgrade. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
