1 Pulse Output Module
1.1 Description
The multicube pulse output module is a 12 channel relay board with one side of each relay
connected to a common terminal. The module connects as one or more of up to ten
option modules to the right hand side of the multicube main display. Each of the 12
channels can be configured to act as either a pulse output responding to changes in
accumulating energy registers or as an alarm output responding to level changes of
instantaneous registers.
The pulse output module has a Modbus ID determined by the ID of the main display unit and
the position the unit is placed in the option modules. One pulse module replaces one meter
module or two metering units. The Modbus tables described later are accessed on this ID.
Multiple pulse modules can be connected to the multicube with corresponding reduction of
the maximum number of meter modules.
2 Safety
This manual gives details of safe installation of pulse output modules for connection to the
multicube electricity metering systems. Safety may be impaired if the instructions are not
followed or the system is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer. Labels give
details of equipment ratings for safe operation. Take time to examine all labels before
commencing installation. Safety symbols on the meter have specific meanings.
