Abstract: A meter casing can include a metal shield, and an outer casing that includes a display screen cavity that maintains a display screen, an optical port cavity that houses an optical port sensor assembly including a dongle, and a seal button cavity that houses a seal button and a sealing element. The seal button cavity can include one or more recess cavities formed in the communications module cover. The optical port cavity can include a circular port to securely mount the dongle. In addition, snap joints can be provided, which can hold an optical port cover that covers the optical port with respect to the optical port cavity.

Abstract: An apparatus is configured to be installed on a terminal block to make an electrical connection to at least one I/O loop. The apparatus includes a terminal section having at least one pair of electrical terminals. The electrical terminals are arranged to be connected to the terminal block and to the I/O loop. The apparatus further includes an electronic section electrically connected to the terminal section adapted to communicate with the I/O loop through the terminal section.

Abstract: A system includes a housing having multiple slots. The system also includes multiple adaptor modules each configured to be inserted into one of the slots and perform at least one function related to an associated input or output signal. For each slot-adaptor module pair, the slot includes one of a key and a receptacle configured to receive the key, and the adaptor module includes the other of the key and the receptacle. Each key fits into the receptacle associated with one type of adaptor module and cannot fit into the receptacles associated with other types of adaptor modules. Each receptacle accepts the key associated with one type of adaptor module and cannot accept the keys associated with other types of adaptor modules. Each of at least one of the keys and the receptacles is rotatable to achieve one of multiple different orientations. Different ones of the keys have different cross-sectional shapes.
