Meter Points (Circuits) Tab

The Meter Points (Circuits) tab contains the configuration information for each of the metering points. It shows the number of elements used, the phase, the current ratings, and the user-defined identification string for each meter point. Default information is entered when the metering configuration is selected in the Manufacturing Tab (see “Manufacturing Tab” on page 19).

Meter Point Configuration

The current rating and phase assignment for each meter point can be configured individually, by meter, or all at once. The configuration in all three cases does not take effect until the new settings have been sent to the meter (see “Completing the Meter Configuration” on page 26).

To change the current rating and phase assignment for an individual meter point:

1. Select one probe at a time from the Meter Points (Circuits) List. The selected probe number will appear in the middle pane beside Probe, and its assigned Current and Phase are shown beneath it. See Figure 14.

2. To change the Current, enter the required number. To change the Phase, select the required phase type from the pull-down list.
