ION 8000 Series User Guide Digital and Analog I/O Options
Chapter 1 - Introduction Page 13
Expanded I/O
The I/O Expander option extends the meter’s I/O capabilities. The digital I/O
Expander model provides four Form A digital outputs, four Form C digital
outputs, and eight Form A digital inputs. The analog I/O Expander model replaces
the four form A digital outputs with analog outputs.
The Meter is Factory-Configured and Ready to Operate
Even though the meter is fully customizable, it is shipped from the factory with
many pre-configured functions. Once you have performed the installation and
basic setup, all of the basic measurements, energy calculations and recording
functions are ready to operate right out of the box. You may find that the factory
configuration aptly serves your purposes, allowing you to forego additional
configuration.
