PPC-1B Portable Pulse Counter
The PPC-1B portable pulse counter is a low-cost lab and field tool for testing a meter’s KYZ pulse outputs. The PPC-1B supplies its own +12VDC wetting (sense) voltage to one side of the relay’s outputs and the other lead counts the closures or “pulses” of that output. It is configured as a Form A device to test one side of the Form C output at a time.
The PPC-1B can be used with either mercury-wetted or solid-state relay outputs. It is powered by either 120-277VAC line voltage, a low-voltage power supply or optionally by an external battery.
Designed for the rigors of the field, the PPC-1B is packaged in a nearly indestructible polycarbonate enclosure. Provided are two banana jack input leads with probes for connecting to wires or terminals of the meter’s KYZ output. Upon each transition of the KYZ switch, the counter will register a count and update the display. The 8-digit display allows a maximum count of 99,999,999 and can be manually reset by the field technician at any time. Thus, the PPC-1B can be used to ensure that the meter’s pulse output is operating satisfactorily.
