Energy pulsing

Your meter uses Calibration Pulser modules and Pulser modules for energy pulsing.

• Calibration Pulser module – The Calibration Pulser module is a highly accurate energy pulser used for verifying accuracy on meters employed in billing applications. This module type serves as an intermediary between the power (kW, kVAR or kVA) outputs of the Power Meter module and a device’s hardware output channel. Refer to the PowerLogic ION8650 accuracy verification technical note for instructions on verifying the accuracy of your meter. By default, two Calibration Pulser modules are configured and linked to the front panel LEDs.
• Pulser module – The Pulser module serves as an intermediary between other modules’ pulse output registers (accepting them as pulse inputs) and a hardware output channel on the device. These modules can send pulses or pulse transitions to any hardware output channel.

See the ION Reference for more information on these modules.

This chapter provides instructions for configuring energy pulsing on your meter.
