To change the current rating for all meter points assigned to a meter:

1.Select a meter from the Meter Points (Circuits) List. The selected meter will appear in the Name field of the middle pane. See Figure 13.

2.In the Alter Current for Probes pane, enter the desired value referenced to the CT primary rating in the Current field, and click on Change Probes in Selected Meter.

To change the current rating for all meter points assigned to all meters:

1.In the Alter Current for Probes pane, enter the desired value referenced to the CT primary rating in the Current field, and click on Change all Probes in all Meters. See Figure 13.

Badge Numbering

Each meter point can be configured with a name defined by the user. The meter point name, known as the badge number, can be up to 13 alphanumeric characters in length. The Badge Numbering pane allows the user to set two types of badge numbers:

•sequential, which assigns a badge number to each meter point after the prefix (for example CORP-00000001 to CORP-00000012)

•grouped by meter, which uses a base prefix to designate the meter, then assigns a sequential badge number suffix to each meter point assigned to that meter (for example CORP-00001-01 to CORP-00001-12)

The configuration tool provides examples before the badge number is assigned to the meter. In the Badge Numbering pane shown in Figure 14, the following fields and buttons are provided for assigning badge numbers:

•Prefix field - an alphanumeric field that prefixes the number field.

•Badge Number field - a numeric field that becomes part of the prefix for meter points assigned to that meter, or the first number in the sequence to be assigned to individual meter points.

•Badge Number Width field - a numeric field that defines the number of digits in the badge number field. Zeroes (0) are automatically entered at the beginning of the badge number field until the total number of digits in the badge number field equals the number of digits defined in the badge number width field.

•Incremental badge numbers button - selecting this button assigns a sequential badge number for each meter point

•Single badge number button - selecting this button assigns one badge number prefix followed by a numeric suffix for each meter point assigned to that meter.

•Assign Badge Numbers button - selecting this button implements the badge numbering defined by the user in the previous fields.

•Reset Dial Readings button - selecting this button resets all registers for all energy types and pulse counts to zero. This function takes effect immediately and does not require a send action.

•Send PC Time button - selecting this button configures the meter with the current PC time and UTC. This function takes effect immediately and does not require a send action. This function can be used when access to the network time service is not available.
