Inputs / Outputs

You can use the ION8650’s onboard I/O for a variety of applications.

For example, you can use a Form A digital input to monitor a breaker to verify how many times the breaker trips. When the breaker reaches its limit for the number of trips, you can use the digital output to light an LED next to the breaker, so field personnel are alerted. You can also use a Form C digital output to send KYZ pulsing information to third-party system equipment.

NOTE: The Ethernet outage notification card uses the same physical slot as the I/O option board, which means that you cannot have both optional I/O and outage notification on the same meter.

This section provides information on the meter’s various digital and analog inputs and outputs (I/O).

Refer to your ION8650 Installation Guide for instructions on wiring inputs and outputs and for the general meter I/O specifications.
