Multi-Tech Systems 7600 Energy & Demand by Quadrant, Demand Max and Demand Min, Loss Compensation

Displaying Data with Vista ION 7500 / ION 7600 User’s Guide

Energy & Demand by Quadrant

Click the By Quadrant button to see a Vista grouping window showing the following demand measurements by quadrant:

◆Sliding window and thermal demand for active, reactive, and apparent power in all four quadrants

◆Accumulated values of active, reactive, and apparent energy in all four quadrants

Demand Max and Demand Min

Click the Demand MAX and Demand MIN objects to see a Vista grouping window showing the maximum and minimum demand measurements.

Loss Compensation

The meter can perform loss compensation to the measurements it provides in one of two ways. Use this screen to do the following:

1.Enable loss compensation by double-clicking on the Loss Compensation Mode control object. You can ignore the remaining steps if you disable loss compensation.

2.Select a Loss Compensation Method (either the “Test Sheet” method or “%Loss Constants” method), and

3.Enter the power system specifications necessary for the line and transformer loss calculations to be performed.

Level 3 ION Enterprise authority is required to use control objects and enter system values.

Setup and Controls

Click the Setup & Controls object in the Revenue Measurements diagram to view the Setup & Controls grouping window. You may only use the Setup & Controls if you have Level 3 (or higher) permission.

◆Meter Mode

During regular service, you should not have to enable TEST mode. Placing the meter in TEST mode activates the parameters displayed in the Revenue Test Mode window. Typically, TEST mode should only be enabled for testing and calibration purposes (see Note). All TEST mode values are cleared when you exit TEST mode.

NOTE

All billing quantities recorded during normal operation cease to accumulate while the meter is in TEST mode. The data recorded by the ION 7600 in TEST mode is sent to special TEST mode registers instead.

◆LED Pulser Mode

This setting determines if front panel LED energy pulser will pulse in NORMAL and TEST mode, or just in TEST mode. Refer to “Displaying Data with the Front Panel” on page 22 for more information about the front panel LEDs.
