Revenue metering
●ION8600 meters meet stringent IEC and ANSI revenue metering standards on true RMS voltage, current, and power
● ANSI C12.20 0.2, Class 2, 10, & 20
● IEC 62053-22 Class 0.2S
●The meters perform power quality and compliance monitoring in accordance with CBEMA/ITIC, IEEE 519 – 1992, and IEEE 1159 and monitor flicker to IEC 61000-4-15, and harmonics to IEC 61000-4-7
●Multi-user, multi-level security protects the ION8600 meter, allowing you to control and customize access for up to 16 users

Modularity and communications
●ION8600 meters use patented ION® technology, giving meters a modular, flexible architecture that allows for extensive user programmability
●Meters address complex monitoring and control applications, and avoid obsolescence by adapting to changing needs
●The ION8600 offers complete communications: fiber, Ethernet, serial, and modem
● Gateway functionality simplifies communications architecture and reduces leased line or connection costs
● Ports communicate with a variety of protocols (ION, DNP 3.0, Modbus RTU,
Modbus TCP, MV-90)
● Meters have the capability to dial out when memory is near full, and to push data through SMTP (email)
