3. Navigate to Expansion Module > Option I/O Modules and select the module tab
that corresponds to the option module with the digital input you want to configure.
4. Select the digital input channel and click Edit.
The setup screen for that digital input is displayed.
5. Configure the digital input by selecting the parameter and clicking Edit.
6. Once the parameter has been configured, click OK to save the setting to the
meter.

WAGES monitoring allows you to record and analyze all energy sources and utilities
usage.
Your energy system may use several different types of energy. For example, you may
consume steam or compressed air for industrial processes, electricity for lights and
computers, water for cooling and natural gas for heating. WAGES monitoring collects
the usage information from all these different energy sources to enable a more
complete energy analysis.
WAGES information can help you:
• Identify losses or inefficiencies.
• Modify demand to reduce costs.
• Optimize energy source usage.
This example shows WAGES monitoring for a water flow meter.
You can connect your meter's digital input to a transducer that sends a pulse for every
15 kiloliters (4000 US Gal) of water. After configuring an input metering channel and
assigning it to the digital input, the meter is able to detect and record the incoming
pulses. An energy management system can then use the information from the meter to
perform WAGES analysis.
Description
Specifies how the meter processes the signal:
1
• Pulse: the meter counts an entire pulse (from off-on
to on-off) as one input.
• KYZ: the meter counts a transition (from off-on or
from on-off) as one input.
• A/C: the meter detects analog signals where the ON
condition is based on the presence of an AC signal.
• IRIG-B 1 : the meter detects an IRIG-B time
synchronization signal.
Specifies if the signal from the digital port is inverted or not
inverted.
Specifies how long (in seconds) the signal must remain in
a state to be considered a valid state change.
