Digital output applications

Digital outputs are typically used in switching applications, for example, to provide on/off control
signals for switching capacitor banks, generators, and other external devices and equipment.
The digital output can also be used in demand synchronization applications, where the meter
provides pulse signals to the input of another meter to control its demand period. The digital
output can also be used in energy pulsing applications, where a receiving device determines
energy usage by counting the kWh pulses coming from the meter's digital output port.

Configuring onboard digital outputs using ION Setup
