Programming the Meter
VIM1C parameters like shunt size and number of load buses are preconfigured when it is factory
installed in a BDFB. Only customer specific preferences need to be adjusted in the field. As a
replacement or meter upgrade, the factory default settings may need to be adjusted for the
application. Listed below are the configurable parameters and their associated factory defaults
available through the front panel. Following the table are the typical items that need to be
configured or verified in a retrofit or replacement application.

Description
1 System Voltage Factory default is 48V.
2 Local Buzzer Allows audible alarm to be Enabled or Disabled. Factory default is Disabled.
3 Display Contrast
4 Software Version Displays the version of the application code running in the meter.
Load Parameters Description
5 Number Of Loads
Used to identify the number of individual loads/buses in the BDFB. Factory set from 1-8 depending
on BDFB configuration.
6 Meter Type
Configures meter to display individual monitored bus voltages (voltage), voltages and currents
(volt_curr), or only currents (current). Factory default is Voltage and Current (volt_curr).
Load ID Format A, and 1. “A1” identifies loads using an A1, B1; A2, B2; … format. “A” identifies loads using an A, B,
C, D ... format. “1” identifies loads using a 1, 2, 3, 4 … format. Factor Default is A format.
First Load (location) top-left, top-right, btm-left (bottom-left), btm-right (bottom-right). Every monitored shunt is

11 Combined Load
Factor default is set to be “installed”.
