Energy meter with pulse transmitter
Energy meter that sends a pulse output proportional to energy for remote counting, totalising or building management.
In plain English
What does Energy meter with pulse transmitter mean?
This form shows an energy meter with a transmitting output, normally a pulse contact where each pulse represents a fixed amount of energy. The output feeds a remote counter, a summation meter, a PLC or a building management system, so the meter symbol is linked to a separate signal circuit.
A simple example
The pulse weight, such as watt-hours per pulse, and the pulse width are essential for the receiver. The symbol does not show them, and a mismatch between pulse weight and receiver scaling produces errors that are easy to miss.
What the drawings help you do
Record the pulse weight and width. Trace the pulse output to its receiving device. A meter with a transmitter sends its count elsewhere; an energy meter repeater is the receiving remote register.

How to read it
- Record the pulse weight and width.
- Trace the pulse output to its receiving device.
Information to show or reference
- State pulse weight
- Show output contact wiring
- Reference receiving input scaling
A distinction that matters
A meter with a transmitter sends its count elsewhere; an energy meter repeater is the receiving remote register.
