5.8 Digital outputs
The device has two standard digital outputs for which an external 12 / 24 VDC power supply is required.
The power supply shall not exceed 30V DC!
Usage as digital output
► Alarm output
► State reporting
► Pulse output to an external counter (acc. EN62053-31)
► Remote controlled output

Recommended if input impedance of counter > 100 kΩ
Driving a counter mechanism
The width of the energy pulses can be selected within a range of 30 up to 250ms, but have to be adapted
to the external counter mechanism.
Electro mechanical meters
typically need a pulse width of 50...100ms.
Electronic meters
are partly capable to detect pulses in the kHz range. There are two types: NPN (active
negative edge) and PNP (active positive edge). For this device a PNP is required. The pulse width has to
be
≥ 30ms (acc. EN62053-31). The delay between two pulses has to be at least the pulse width. The
smaller the pulse width, the higher the sensitivity to disturbances.
