CHAPTER 4: USING THE METER

4.2Configuring the Meter via the Front Panel

4.2.1Overview

The EPM 6000 front panel can be used to configure the meter. The EPM 6000 has three modes: operating mode (default), IrDA reset mode, and configuration mode. The MENU, ENTER, DOWN and RIGHT buttons navigate through the modes and navigate through all the screens in each mode.

A typical setup will be demonstrated in this section; other settings are possible. Complete navigation maps for the display modes are shown in Navigation Maps on page 6–1. The meter can also be configured through software.

4.2.2Start Up

Upon power-up, the meter will display a sequence of screens. The sequence includes the following screens:

Lamp test screen where all LEDs are lighted;

Lamp test screen where all digits are lighted;

Firmware screen showing build number;

Error screen (if an error exists).

The EPM 6000 will then auto-scroll the parameter designators on the right side of the front panel. Values are displayed for each parameter. The KILO or MEGA LED will illuminate, showing the scale for the Wh, varh and VAh readings.

An example of a Wh reading is shown below.

FIGURE 4–4: Typical Wh Reading

The EPM 6000 will continue to scroll through the parameter designators, providing readings until one of the buttons on the front panel is pushed, causing the meter to enter one of the other modes.
