To configure RS-485 communications, see “Setting up serial communications” on 
page 36.

The meter uses Modbus TCP protocol to communicate at data speeds up to 100 Mbps 
through its Ethernet communications port.

Use a shielded Ethernet cable to connect the meter’s Ethernet port. Ground terminal is 
not available on meter, shield should be connected to Ground at the other end. Ethernet 
connection source should be installed in a location that minimizes the overall Ethernet 
cable routing length.

To communicate with the meter through Ethernet, all devices must have a unique IP 
address and be set to the same subnet mask and gateway.

To configure Ethernet communications, see “Setting up Ethernet communications” on 
page 37.

The meter is equipped with two digital output ports (D1, D2). You can configure the digital 
outputs for use in the following applications:

•

switching applications, for example, to provide on/off control signals for switching 
capacitor banks, generators, and other external devices and equipment

•

demand synchronization applications, where the meter provides pulse signals to the 
input of another meter to control its demand period

•

energy pulsing applications, where a receiving device determines energy usage by 
counting the k_h pulses (k_h = kWh, kVARh or kVAh depending on the energy 
parameter selected) coming from the meter’s digital output port

The digital outputs can handle voltages less than 40 V DC. For higher voltage 
applications, use an external relay in the switching circuit.
