Displaying Data with the Front Panel
The front panel provides a detailed graphics and text display for the meter. The
front panel is configured at the factory with eight displays showing some of the
more commonly used power system values measured by the device (refer to
“Default Front Panel Display Screens”). A Remote Modular Display (RMD) can be
added to an existing TRAN meter to provide a front panel display.

Button Functions

Press the Up/Down arrow buttons to scroll through the data display screens. You
do not require password authorization to view these screens. The round button,
when pressed, provides access to the Setup menu. Use the front panel’s three
buttons to navigate this menu, and enter settings into the meter. For more
information on setting up the meter using the front panel, refer to “Configuring the
Meter with the Front Panel” on page27.

Front Panel Display Resolution

When displaying numeric values, the front panel display screen can show up to
nine digits of resolution. This nine digit resolution is available when the display
screen is set to display one parameter. Any multi-parameter screen displays up to
five digits of resolution.
If you require more digit resolution than is available, use ACCESS software to
display data. If a value is too large to be displayed on your display screen (i.e.
greater than 99,999 on a two parameter screen), the front panel uses an abbreviated
engineering notation with standard metric prefixes to indicate the magnitude of
the reading. The following table provides some examples:
