into which, a communication module can be fitted as required.
4. Metrological LED (Fixed) - This LED is provided on the meter main face plate and flashes according to the
rate of energy consumption measured by the meter. It is used for testing the accuracy of the meter and as a
visual indication of the rate of energy consumption.
5. Metrological LED (Configurable) - This LED is provided on the meter main face plate and by default it is
configured for Reactive Import Energy consumption.
6. 1107 Port – The communication with the external world is supported through 1107 optical port. The port
