Energy pulsing
You can configure the meter’s energy pulsing LEDs or onboard digital outputs for energy pulsing applications.
When an LED or output is set to energy pulsing, the meter sends a readable pulse or signal based on the measured energy source value. This pulse can be used for accuracy verification or as an input to another energy monitoring system.
Default energy pulsing LED sources
Your meter’s energy pulsing LEDs have default energy source values configured for accuracy verification testing.
Calibration Pulser LED | LED Location | Default energy pulsing source |
---|---|---|
MU Wh Pulser LED (visible and infrared) | Top of meter body | MU kW tot |
Note: The energy pulsing LEDs are configured in pairs. For example, changing the energy source value will change it for both the regular and infrared LEDs.
Note: To modify your default energy source value, go into the advanced mode of ION Setup and modify the associated Calibration Pulser module. This is an advanced procedure that should only be performed if you have advanced knowledge of ION and the power system your meter is connected to.
