The new and improved OPL-1B Series is here, and it’s taking you further than ever before. Were you previously restricted by the 3 mile range of the original OPL-1 system? Well your restrictions have now been lifted by the creation of the B Series which can take you up to 68 miles with its enhanced design and use of… |
2-Wire or 3-Wire... That is the QuestionMay 2012 |
Probably the most confusing part of Pulse Metering is the misunderstanding of 2-wire and 3-wire pulse values. Almost universally, pulse metering revolves around 3-wire pulse values given that historically it took 3-wires for pulse metering to work. Over time, pulse metering has become mostly a... |

Our new LCR-3A and LCR-4 Auxiliary Load Control Relays have arrived! These little relays do the big job that many small KYZ switches can't handle. Housed in a 1" epoxy cube with 18" leads for input and output terminals, the LCR-3A can accomplish the task… |
Pulses: Simple,
March 2012 |
I have to tip my hat to the clever and ingenious people that came up with KYZ pulse metering methodology. It’s simple, easy to use, and non-proprietary. And best of all, it doesn’t require the IT department... |

Our Load Management Relays provide all the same capabilities as our Customer Interface Relays (CIRs) and also include other features to make interfacing with load management equipment fast and easy. The great thing about our CIRs and LMRs is that they contain separate compartments for utility and customer use... |
Part 3: Unique
November 2011 |
Although most pulse products are sold to either protect expensive electrical equipment or provide additional outputs, they can also solve tricky challenges in pulse metering applications. Specialized pulse solutions have become an area of expertise for Solid State Instruments in our efforts to satisfy our customer’s pulse-related needs. |

SSI’s RPR-33PS is a valuable relay to have on hand for use in more sophisticated pulse metering applications. Having three independent channels, it lends itself to several unique pulse metering applications. Some of the combinations of pulse channels that can be accommodated with the RPR-33PS are... |
Part 1: Protect
