MOUNTING POSITION - The MPG-1C can be mounted in any position. Two mounting holes are provided. The
MPG-1C must be mounted in a non-metalic enclosure or somewhere where it can receive the streaming wireless
information from the meter without interference. The MPG-1C must be mounted within about 75 feet from your
meter. Distances vary with building construction and proximity to the meter. For best results, mount as close to the
meter as possible. The pulse output lines from the MPG-1C may be run longer distances, but the MPG-1C should
have uninterrupted access for best results. Choose a mounting location that will not have any metalic parts --
moving or stationary -- that can affect the RF field.
POWER INPUT - The MPG-1C is powered by an AC voltage of between 90 and 300 volts. For 120VAC, connect the
AC supply's "hot" wire to the L1 terminal. For 208 to 277VAC, connect the AC supply's "hot" wire to the L2 terminal.
Connect the NEU terminal to the AC supply's "neutral" wire. Connect GND to electrical system Ground. *** Use L1
or L2, but DO NOT use both at the same time.***
METER INPUT - The MPG-1C receives data from a Zigbee-equipped AMI electric meter that has been paired with a
RAVEn Zigbee USB receiver. The RAVEn USB receiver must be paired with the meter before it can be used. Once
paired & inserted into the USB port, the MPG-1C starts receiving demand information from the meter. (See Page 3.)
OUTPUTS - Two 3-wire isolated outputs are provided on the MPG-1C, with output terminals K1, Y1 & Z1 and K2,
Y2, & Z2. Transient suppression for the contacts of the solid-state relays is provided internally. The output loads
should be limited to 100 mA at 120 VAC/VDC. Maximum power dissipation of each output is 800mW. The outputs
are protected by fuses F1& F2. One-tenth (1/10) Amp fuses (the maximum size) are supplied standard.
OPERATION - See the following pages for a full explanation of the operation of the MPG-1C.

- Page 3 KYZ 3-Wire electric meter output. It toggles back and forth, to the opposite state, each time a "pulse" is generated by the MPG-1C. Even though there are three wires (K,Y, & Z), it is common to use K and Y, or K and Z, for many two-wire systems that require or desire a generally symetrical 50/50 duty cycle pulse at any given time.
- Page 4 If the RAVEn is reliably receiving data from the meter and passing it on to the MPG-1C's processor, then you should see the Red and Green output LED's toggle each time the selected pulse value is reached, and the processor generates a pulse. If the pulse output value is too high and pulses are too slow, then select a lower pulse value using the P command.
- Page 5 WORKING WITH THE MPG-1C RELAY OPERATING MODES: The MPG-1C Meter Pulse Generator allows the outputs to be configured in either the "Toggle" or "Fixed" pulse output mode. In the Toggle mode, the outputs alternate or toggle back and forth each time a pulse is generated. This is synonomous with the classic 3-Wire Pulse metering and emulates the SPDT switch model.
- Page 6 You will not see the "M160" that you typed in on the screen unless the local echo is enabled on your terminal software. To read back what the value of the multiplier currently in the MPG-1C is, press R and <Enter>. The USB serial link will return the current multiplier stored in the MPG-1C, along with all other system settings.
- Page 7 ---------------------------------------- The Echo mode allows you to view the entire transmission coming from the meter the way it is received by the MPG-1C's microcontroller from the dongle in XML format. This mode may be useful in troubleshooting in the event of intermittent transmissions from the meter.
- Page 8 The Pulse Value Setting is the same for both positive and negative values. To enter the functional or operational mode into the MPG-1C, use the S0 and S1 commands. Press S0 <Enter> to set the MPG-1C in the Normal mode. Press S1 <Enter> to set the MPG-1C in the Signed mode. The serial link to the MPG-1C will return "Output Mode: Signed".
- Page 9 X0<CR> command will disable the reset feature. The default number of time delay violations is 2. List of MPG-1C Commands (?) For help in selecting or using the serial commands with the MPG-1C, simply press the ? key. The serial link on the MPG-1C will return a full list of the commands.
