Analog Inputs
Analog inputs can measure and store analog information such as electrical signals 
from transducers; transducers derive the electrical signals from flow rates, 
temperatures, pressures, rotations, and fluid levels. They are controlled by Analog 
Input modules.
Analog inputs require the installation of an optional circuit board inside the meter. 
The I/O card provides four analog inputs. By default, four Analog Input modules 
(labeled 
AI1
 to 
AI4
) are already created for this purpose. Configure the settings of 
the controlling module to match your requirements. The settings in these modules 
are as follows:
1
An arbitrary input value can be treated as the Zero Scale (i.e., a 4-20mA input is capable of generating 
a 0 to X output).
Analog Outputs
An ION meter’s analog outputs act as transducers. The meter measures power and 
energy, and then sends that information via the analog outputs to a remote 
terminal unit (RTU). The analog outputs issue industry standard 0 to 20 mA 
current signals. They are controlled by the Analog Output modules.
Analog inputs require the installation of an optional circuit board inside the meter. 
The I/O Card provides four analog outputs. By default, four Analog Output 
modules (labeled 
AO1
 to 
AO4
) are already created for this purpose. Configure the 
settings of the controlling module to match your requirements. The settings in 
these modules are as follows:
