Default Settings
The EM-PULSE installs with minimal user intervention.
If LEDs are green and you are happy with default factory settings
below, your installation is complete!
Each meter has five factory default settings. Review the factory
default settings and their definitions below.
Default Setting 1. Pulse Scale
AutoScale is the default factory setting. With AutoScale, pulse
scale is automatically set based on the CVT amperage rating as
follows:
CVT Rated Amps
Default Pulse Scale
5-50A
1 Wh/pulse
51-500A
10 Wh/pulse
501-5000A
100 Wh/pulse
5000+A
1 kWh/pulse
Check CVT amperage rating to determine the pulse scale. For
alternative pulse scale settings, see
Section 7.1 - Pulse Scale.
Default Setting 2. Pulse/Alarm Options
Fast Pulses (30ms), KY Mode is the default factory setting. Fast
pulses corresponds to a pulse width of 30 milliseconds. In
KY Mode pulses are the representative units and each pulse
output is independent. For alternative pulse widths, KYZ Mode,
or Alarm options see
Section 7.2 - Pulse/Alarm Options.
Default Setting 3. Energy Output Type
Total Real ‘Active‘ Energy (P) is the default factory setting. This is
the metric that utility companies typically use for billing.
For alternative Energy Output Types, see
Section 7.3 - Energy
Output Type.
Default Setting 4. Balanced Load Multiplier
The Balanced Load Multiplier is disabled in the default factory
settings. For options on balanced load multipliers see
Section
7.4 - Balanced Load Multiplier.
Default Setting 5. PowerPrint
PowerPrint is disabled in the default factory settings. For details
on how to utilize PowerPrint see
Section 7.5 - PowerPrint.
To Restore Factory Default Settings
Caution: Restoring factory default settings will revert device to
settings listed above. Any manual configurations will be reset.
1. Hold setup button down until all LEDs blink red
(approximately 30 seconds) and release.
2. Momentarily press the setup button again within 5
seconds of the first release.
3. The LEDs will stop blinking and remain solid red for about
1 second.
4. Meter is now reset to factory default settings.

Configuration Settings
The EM-PULSE meter allows for manual configuation of the
following settings:
1. Pulse Scale
2. Pulse/Alarm Options
3. Energy Output Type
4. Balanced
Load Multiplier
5. Powerprint
Each setting has factory default, which can be found in
Section
6 - Default Settings
.
This section will further define each setting and detail
alternative settings that can be manually configured utilizing
Section 8 - View and Edit Settings
.
Setting 1. Pulse Scale
There are 8 Pulse Scale options on the EM-PULSE meter:
AutoScale operation based on CVT rated amperage, user
selectable pulse scales, or LiveScale based on current energy.

AutoScale
pulse scale is selected based on the largest CVT size
installed. This is the factory default setting for the meter. See
Section 6.1 - Pulse Scale
for usage of AutoScale pulse scaling.
2
LiveScale
takes a sample of energy currently being monitored
and calculates the most appropriate pulse scale after 10
seconds of sampling. LiveScale should be initiated when panel
is fully loaded. This ensures that the automatically chosen pulse
is appropriate to the monitored load while avoiding the pulse
overload warning condition.
Setting 2. Pulse/Alarm Options
Pulse/Alarm Options allow for setting different pulse types (KY
vs KYZ) and alarm outputs for alerts of phase loss or changes
from a saved PowerPrint (
Setting 5. PowerPrint
). There are 6
Pulse/Alarm Options on the EM-PULSE meter:

Fast Pulses
: Pulse width of 30 milliseconds
Slow Pulses
: Pulse width of 1 second
KY Mode
: Each pulse (2 edges) represents 1 unit of energy. The 2
pulse outputs are independent.
KYZ Mode
: Each edge represents 1 unit of energy. The 2 pulse
outputs form a complementary pair.
