6. Once the parameter has been configured, click OK to save the setting to the
meter.
Parameter Value/Range Description
Input Mode Pulse, KYZ,
A/C, IRIG-B
1
Specifies how the meter processes the signal:
• Pulse: the meter counts an entire pulse (from off-
on to on-off) as one input.
• KYZ: the meter counts a transition (from off-on or
from on-off) as one input.
• A/C: the meter detects analog signals where the
ON condition is based on the presence of an AC
signal.
• IRIG-B 1 : the meter detects an IRIG-B time
synchronization signal.
EvLog Mode Log Off/Log On Specifies if events generate log entries.
Event Priority 0 - 255 Specifies the priority of an event.
Polarity Inverting/Non-
Inverting Specifies if the signal from the digital port is inverted or
not inverted.
Debounce 0.000 - 1.000 Specifies how long (in seconds) the signal must remain
in a state to be considered a valid state change.
Port Defined by your
meter’s
hardware Your meter’s physical digital input port.
Enable Enabled/
Disabled Specifies whether the module is enabled or disabled.
Alarm Trigger
Mode Alarm off OFF/
Alarm on ON Specifies the behavior of the digital input alarm.
1 IRIG-B can only be connected to one of the digital inputs located on the meter base, not an
option module.

WAGES monitoring
WAGES monitoring allows you to record and analyze all energy sources and
utilities usage.
Your system may use several different types of energy. For example, you may
consume steam or compressed air for industrial processes, electricity for lights
and computers, water for cooling and natural gas for heating. WAGES monitoring
collects the usage information from all these different energy sources to enable a
more complete energy analysis.
WAGES information can help you:
• Identify losses or inefficiencies.
• Modify demand to reduce costs.
• Optimize energy source usage.
WAGES example
This example shows WAGES monitoring for a water flow meter.
You can connect your meter’s digital input to a transducer that sends a pulse for
every 15 kiloliters (4000 US Gal) of water. After configuring an input metering
channel and assigning it to the digital input, the meter is able to detect and record
the incoming pulses. An energy management system can then use the information
from the meter to perform WAGES analysis.
