Optical Port
The optical port is mounted on the meter cover. The optical port is a communication
interface from the meter to a PC. Interface to a PC is accomplished through a
communication cable which attaches to the optical port on one end and a PC serial port on
the other end. This interface cable can be powered by a DC TAP, an AC Adaptor, or the
PC’s COM Port. Communication through the optical port may be at 9600, 14400, 19200, or
28800 bps.

display items and sequence of their display, along with any desired annunciators or
Identification (ID) code numbers, are selected during the programming process. Detailed
