The EMT outputs are provided to you for connection to a remote totalizer. Both AC and DC pulse
outputs are available. See “External Totalizer Parameters” on page 44 for more information.
Tacho
If only one tacho input is to be used it must be in the A position. The mode should be No -
Direction.
See Tachometer Parameters on page 29 for more information regarding tacho parameters.
Serial Communications
Serial Channel #1 is an RS-485 port. The baud rate, parity, stop bit settings and protocol of the
ports are setup in the software. For further information on configuring the Serial Communications
Board and its interface to different types of serial equipment, see Communications on page 44.
