7. Align the infrared sensor on the standard test bench armature over the
appropriate front panel LED pulser.
TIP
If the outer cover is still on the meter, align the meter sensor slightly off-perpendicular to the LEDs. This
reduces reflections from the outer cover.
8. Perform testing on the test points (“Watt-hour test points” and “VAR-hour
points” on page 222).
9. Run each test point for at least five seconds to allow the test bench equipment to
read an adequate number of pulses. Allow three seconds of dwell time between
test points.
Test Settings
When testing the meter, ensure the test parameters are suited to your testing
methods. You may need to adjust the front panel LED pulse rate and the test mode
timeout.
NOTE
If the maximum pulse rate is exceeded the WATT LED remains on (does not blink).
LED pulser settings
The two LEDs on the front panel are preconfigured for energy pulsing. The
adjacent smaller infrared outputs are connected to the LEDs and pulse at the same
rate. You may need to increase the Kt value if the LED does not pulse.
Changing the LED pulse rate from the Front Panel
You cannot change the LED pulse rate from the meter’s front panel.
Changing the LED pulse rate in ION Setup
1. Open the Setup Assistant in ION Setup.
