4. Connection:
You can read all the measurement data after you successfully complete Step 3. To
connect, do one of the following:
If the connection is successful, the screen will show the measured data on the screen, and
you will see ‘Com Failure = 0, Log Failure = 0’ at the bottom right corner on the screen.
If the connection is not successful, no measured data will appear on the screen, and you
will see ‘Com Failure = 1, Log Failure = 0’ at the bottom right corner on the screen in red.
NOTE: If connection is not successful, please make sure: The physical connection of the
device is correct; the communication parameters, such as Baud Rate, Parity, device type
and device address are not properly set.
5.2 Configuration Parameters Setup
5.2.1 General Meter Parameter Setting
• From the left navigation panel click on the ‘Settings’ tab and then on ‘General’. You
can set up the system parameters and I/O settings from this section, as shown in Fig
5-4.
• Click on ‘Update Device’ after making changes, so that the changes can be saved on
the meter.
Parameters can be setup with following rules:
Security and Communication: You can set the meter’s password, device address, Baud
Rate and parity from this section and the meter will make the corresponding changes.
Voltage and Current: If you are measuring your voltage using a voltage Hall Effect sensor
and/or your current using either a Hall Effect sensor or a shunt, you will have to set the
Voltage and/or Current sections.
