Thissectionprovidesanoverviewoftheauxiliarysystemandhowitisconfigured.
9.1. Introduction to auxiliary systems
Theauxiliarysystemservesasastandalonesystemformonitoringthereadingsonacurrentorother

ThetypicalapplicationforthistypeofsystemistomonitorcurrentflowingthroughtheACfeedsintoasite
orapowersystem.
9.2. Create an auxiliary system
To create an auxiliary system:
1. GotoSystems > Add or Remove Systems andselecttheCreate Auxiliary System button.
2. GotoSystems > Auxiliary System > Configure System andenteraName andDescription for
