Step 9: Verify meter operation

The LEDs on the back of the meter flash during communications.
LED Color Function
Ethernet 100 (Speed) Green Off = link at 10 Mb or no link, On = link at 100 Mb
Ethernet TX Green Blinking indicates Ethernet transmission
Ethernet RX/LINK Green On = link up, Off = link down
Blinking indicates Ethernet reception
Modem DCD Green Indicates a carrier signal is detected (active
connection to the modem)
Modem RI Green Indicates a ring is detected by the modem
COM3 (Modem) TX Yellow Indicates serial transmission on COM3
COM3 (Modem) RX Yellow Indicates serial reception on COM3
COM2 TX Yellow Indicates serial transmission on COM2
COM2 RX Yellow Indicates serial reception on COM2
COM1 TX Yellow Indicates serial transmission on COM1
COM1 RX Yellow Indicates serial reception on COM1

The LEDs on the front panel indicate the following:

Top (green) LED indicates the meter is operational. The

light should always remain on when the meter is in service.

Watt- Middle (red) LED is a watt-hour pulser. During normal

hour operations this LED should blink intermittently as the meter
pulsing measures power.

Bottom (red) LED is user programmable. It can be used for

Alarm notification. See the ION7550 / ION7650 User Guide
Front Panel for more information.

Phasor diagrams
You can also view the meter’s phasor diagram in real time. Use the Phasor
Viewer available in ION Setup v2.1 and later (free download from the
Schneider Electric website) to verify your meter’s wiring. See the ION Setup
online help for details.
