The secondary of an external current transformer must never be allowed to be open circuit when the primary is energized. An open circuit can cause high voltages, possibly resulting in equipment damage, fire and even serious or fatal injury. Ensure that the current transformer wiring is made through shorting switches and is secured using an external strain relief to reduce mechanical strain on the screw terminals, if necessary.

(0∗) When the power demand period is specified in minutes, synchronization of the demand interval can be made through communications (see the C191HM ASCII/Modbus Reference Guides) or via the front panel (see Section 4.11). If the power demand period is set to External Synchronization, an external synchronization pulse denoting the start of the next demand interval can be provided through a digital input or can be simulated by using the synchronization command sent via communications.
ENTER This menu allows you to access the communications port options that the C191HM uses to communicate with a master computer. Table 4-2 lists the communications options, their code names and applicable choices. Activate the middle window to scroll through the list of available options, and then activate the lower window to set the option value.
ENTER ENTER This menu is used to set up a digital input provided by the C191HM. The digital input can be configured as: - a status input to monitor external contact status, or - an external synchronization pulse input to receive an external synchronization pulse indicating the beginning of a new demand interval for power demand measurements.

ENTER This menu allows you to program any of the eight relays provided by your C191HM instrument to output energy pulses. Relays #7 and #8 are especially recommended for use as pulsing relays because of their high endurance. Available pulsing parameters are listed in Table 4-5.
NOTES 1. If your instrument is not equipped with the optional relay, then this setup parameter will not appear on the display. 2. You will not be able to store your setup in the instrument if you assigned a parameter to relay output with a zero number of unit-hours per pulse.
