Solid State Output

AMP1 Series meters have one normally open (N.O.) KY Form A
output and one normally closed (N.C.) output.

3

 One is dedicated

to energy (Wh), and the other to Alarm. The AMP1B1 also
provides an additional N.O. reactive energy (VARh) contact.
See the Setup section for configuration information.

The solid state pulse outputs are rated for 30 VAC/DC nom.

Maximum load current is 100 mA at 25°C.

1  The over-current protective device must be rated for the 

short circuit current at the connection point.

2  All pulse outputs and communication circuits are only intended to be connected to  

non-hazardous voltage circuits (SELV or Class 2). Do not connect to hazardous voltages.

3  While the relay used for the Phase Loss contact is Normally Closed (contacts are closed 

when the meter is not powered), closure indicates the presence of an alarm; either loss of 
phase, when the meter is powered, or loss of power when the meter is not. The contacts 
are open when the meter is powered and no phase loss alarm conditions are present.

User Interface Menu Abbreviation Defined

The user can set the display mode to IEC or IEEE notation in the
