Energy Pulsing Setup
Each meter has both the Calibration Pulser module and the Pulser module.
Pulser Module Settings
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 are capable of sending pulses or pulse transitions to
any hardware output channel. The Pulser module contains the following setup
registers:
Five common parameters (kWh del, kWh rec, kVARh del, kVARh rec, and kW sd
del) are already linked to the Pulser modules for you.
NOTE
For safety reasons, no hardware channel has been selected. To make use of these links, you must
configure the Pulser modules’
Port
setup registers to the appropriate hardware port that receives the
output.
Calibration Pulser Module Settings
The Calibration Pulser module is a highly accurate energy pulser used for
verifying calibration 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.
The setup registers of the module labeled “kWh Pulser –D4,” allow you to
configure the solid-state output D4 for calibration pulsing. By default, the output
on a standard meter generates a pulse for every 1.8Wh accumulated. This is the
same pulsing rate as the middle front panel LED (controlled by a Calibration
Pulser module labeled “kWh Pulser –LED”). You can modify the pulsing rate of
either channel by changing the value of the Kt setup register of the controlling
Calibration Pulser module (see below).

Register
Function Default
Pulse Width
This numeric bounded register specifies the width, in seconds,
of the output pulses.
1
OutputMode
This register defines whether the output is a complete pulse or
a transition pulse (KYZ).
Pulse
Polarity
This register specifies the polarity of output. It has no effect if
OutputMode
is KYZ.
Non-inverting
Port
This register specifies which hardware port the output appears
on. Only those hardware channels that are still available
appear when you access this setting.
