Configuring the basic setup parameters

Proper configuration of the meter’s basic setup parameters is essential for accurate measurement and calculations. Use the Basic Setup screen to define the electrical power system that the meter is monitoring.

NOTICE

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

After modifying any basic setup parameter:

Verify all standard alarms settings are correct and make adjustments as necessary.

Re-enable all configured alarms.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in incorrect alarm functions.

If standard (1-sec) alarms have been configured and you make subsequent changes to the meter’s basic setup, all alarms are disabled to prevent undesired alarm operation. After saving the changes, confirm all configured standard alarm settings are still valid, reconfigure them as required, and re-enable the alarms.
