Overview of the meter
The IC 970 is the latest meter in the IC 900 series
of Information Centres from Autometers Systems
Ltd. With new advances in micro processors and
new added features, the meters are user friendly,
easy to install and simple to programme.
The IC 900 range of Information Centres are electronic meters and great care has been taken to
ensure that they meet the stringent requirements of all the potential users and specifiers of the
product, from the buyer who wants a competitively priced product, the installer who wants
simple fitting with good connection terminals to the end user who wants a quick and easy means
of obtaining information. The IC 900 range of meters meets these varied demands.
The IC 970 meter has been designed to communicate with other systems by means of either pulse
outputs standard on all IC 900 meters or via a separate plug in communication module which is
sold with the meters or can be retro fitted at a later date.
All the IC 900 range of meters have been designed to communicate with Autometers Systems Ltd
Horizon range of data collection units, this enabling complete measurement and data collection
systems to be built up.
A new feature to the IC 970 is the protocol set up information which can be viewed on the display
when a communication module has been installed.
Pulse outputs
There are two optically isolated volt free relays outputs on the IC 970 and IC 990, one relay for
kWh and the other for kVah. Both these relays are fully programmable to adjust the value of the
pulse (4 settings) and the time of the contact closure. Both meters are factor y set to 1 imp/kWh
and 1 imp/kVah.
Communication module
An optional communication module can be fitted to the IC 970 and IC 990 meters offering a wider
range of information which can be transferred to a BMS system.

In this case the C T size should be the maximum expected peak current +25%, rounded up to the nearest standard C T size. There are two optically isolated volt free relays on the IC 970. O ther factors may affect C T accuracy. The length of the C T cabling should be minimised. - Page 12 CE Approval.
