The pulse output of the contact option board provides an isolated set of contact closures that can interface directly to your demand control equipment or energy information system.
For a standard installation, we will supply and install a meter with a contact option board, a fused interface box and all associated wiring between the meter panel and the interface box. The standard installation is shown on Sketch 46 in PPL’s Rules for Electric Meter & Service Installations (REMSI).
We will design and price non-standard installations on an individual basis. Non-standard installations may require additional quantities, additional VA capability, multiple outputs of the same quantity, and other factors.
Whether or not you have a generator present affects how the meter is programmed, particularly in MV90. Also, monitoring generation output via pulse requires two separate pulse trains because the pulses are not data, just a stream of pulses. So to monitor generation a customer will receive a second set of independent wires that pulse only during generation output.
