Electric Meter - Pulsed Outputs and Pulse Counting
Electric Meter - Pulsed Outputs and Pulse Counting
Pulsed output data capture has traditionally been the primary data collection format provided by metering technologies prior to the wide adoption of open protocol data. Pulse data can be very accurate as long as the output format properly matches with the pulse accumulation device. This format of data sharing reduces signal quality issues from analog outputs and relies on the meter to accurately measure total flow and provide an output once the configured volume has been reached.
This page provides guidance on the typical meter manufacturers and whether outputs are available. If the meters are on this list, our integration components will have the ability to integrate the data into our cloud dashboard.
A KYZ pulse output is classically a 3-wire “dry contact” switch: K (common), Y, Z. The output alternates between K–Y and K–Z as energy is consumed. The pulse factor or K-Factor is scaled based on the meter manufacturer.
KYZ pulsing is the most common electrical output option from utility meters and utility grade panel meters from a wide range of primary gear utility grade meters.
Some meters advertise Form A (2-wire) or Form C (3-wire) type pulse outputs.
Many modern meters use solid-state or electronic switching instead of mechanical relays for KYZ outputs to reduce wear.
Some multifunction meters also include relay outputs (e.g. for alarms, load control) in addition to pulse outputs.
Some of the most common panel meters that provides pulsed output (KYZ Pulse & Relay outputs) are shown below. This list is only a list of the most common meters that have pulsed output capabilities.
When the electric meter is capable of providing consumption pulses, Emergent Metering can provide the needed hardware to count the output pulses, accumulate them over time and trend this data in our cloud dashboard.
