Pulse output

The LEM012SD DIN rail energy meter is equipped with an pulse output which is fully
separated from the inside circuit. That generates pulses in proportion to the measured
energy for remote reading purposes and accuracy testing. The pulse output is a polarity
dependant, passive transistor output requiring an external voltage source for correct

SEP LEMO12SD 2015

 operation. For this external voltage source, the voltage (Ui) should is 5-27V DC, and
the maximum input current (Iimax) is 27mA DC. To connect the impulse output,
connect 5-27V DC to connector 20 (anode), and the signal wire (S) to connector 21
(cathode). The meter pulses 2000 per kWh (0.5Wh/imp).
