Using the I/O Option Cards
The EPM 7000 meter offers extensive I/O expandability. Using the two universal Option
Card slots, the unit can be easily configured to accept new I/O Option cards even after
installation, without your needing to remove the meter. The EPM 7000 meter auto-detects
any installed Option cards. Up to two cards of any type outlined in this chapter can be used
per meter.
