It is recommended that 50 Hz meters are operated from
3.2768MHz crystal. In 60 Hz system, a 3.93216 MHz clock
is normally used. Because the clock frequency generates a
time reference for energy calculations, the content of
energy registers and also the pulse rate of impulse outputs
will change when crystal is changed. For example, the
nominal meter constant and display pulse rate of 60 Hz
meter (3.93216 MHz clock) is:
MC = 65----00---HH----zz-- × 1250k--i-mW-----p-h-- = 1500k--i-mW-----p-h--
and
The LSB of energy registers correspond to 0.33Wh instead
of 0.4Wh, as follows:
ELSB = 3--3--.-9.--2--3--7-2--6-1--8--6-M--M----H-H---z-z-- × 0.4Wh = 0.333333…Wh
The pulse rate can be scaled to 100 imp/kWh by program-
ming value 5 to MCC coefficient, as below:
IMP = (25 + MCC)i--m--1---p-- × ELSB = 30 i--m--1---p-- × 0.3333…Wh = 10 i-W-m-----hp--
DP = 65----00---HH----zz-- × 100k--i-mW-----p-h-- = 120k--i-mW-----p-h--
which equals 100 impulses per kilowatt hour.
The following table summarizes the contents of all mea-
surement registers.
