Abstract
An output connection and signal conditioning circuit board is selected and detachably connected to an electronic energy meter to customize its functions. Connectors are provided at the ends of the circuit board to mate with an edge connector in the bezel of the register and spaced holes in the base. A separate flexible connection to the KYZ terminals is provided, along with an intermediate tab and slot to position the circuit board and strengthen the meter. A selected circuit board is added to the manufactured meter to meet customer requirements by inserting a pin connector at the bottom of the circuit board through the spaced holes, and rotating the circuit board to mate with the tab and the edge connector.
