c. Enter Compression . The Compression Factor is used to adjust how high an accumulator will go before
rolling over. For example , if you select a Compression Factor of 10, each time 10 Pulse/State changes
occur, the accumulator count will increment by 1.
The available Compression Factors are: 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, and 100000 . The default Compression
Factor is 1.

Configuring a Pulse Output/Digital Input Card (IQ250/260-IO2):
The Pulse Output/Digital Input Option Card has:
• Four Pulse Outputs via solid state contacts
• Four wet/dry contact sensing digital inputs.
Accumulators in the software count the pulses of the Inputs and Outputs. For technical specifications and hardware
installation, refer to Chapter 7 of this manual.
NOTE : When installing a Pulse Output/Digital Input card , we recommend you reset the accumulators for the
card , in order to prevent erroneous counts. See instructions on using the Reset Device Information screen to reset
card accumulators, later in this chapter.
An example use of the Pulse Output/Digital Input Card is in a sub-metering application where a pulse output is
needed. The Input Accumulators allow you to count the pulses from another device, for example, a KYZ module or
another meter. The Output Accumulators allow you to count the pulses being output by the card.
The Pulse Output and Digital Input Card has two screens for configuration: the Pulse Output Settings screen
and the Digital Input Settings screen.
1. Click Pulse Output Settings .
• You can set up to four Output IDs for your Card.
• Each Output has a Label , an Assigned Channel , and a
Unit/Count .
