watthour value. The setpoint S1 PQM SETUP \ CLEAR DATA \ CLEAR ENERGY VALUES is 
used to clear this value. The displayed value will roll over to 0 once the value 4294967295 
(FFFFFFFFh) has been reached.
3Φ POS REACT ENERGY: This message displays the positive varhours (in kvarh) since the 
TIME OF LAST RESET date. Reactive power in the positive direction will add to this 
accumulated value, and reactive power in the negative direction will add to the negative 
varhour value. The setpoint 
S1 PQM SETUP \ CLEAR DATA \ CLEAR ENERGY VALUES is 
used to clear this value. The displayed value will roll over to 0 once the value 4294967295 
(FFFFFFFFh) has been reached.
3Φ NEG REACT ENERGY: This message displays the negative varhours (in kvarh) since the 
TIME OF LAST RESET date. Reactive power in the negative direction will add to this 
accumulated value, and reactive power in the positive direction will add to the positive 
varhour value. The 
S1 PQM SETUP \ CLEAR DATA \ CLEAR ENERGY VALUES setpoint 
clears this value. The displayed value will roll over to 0 once the value 4294967295 
(FFFFFFFFh) has been reached.
3Φ APPARENT ENERGY: This message displays the accumulated VAhours (in kVAh) since 
the TIME OF LAST RESET date. The setpoint 
S1 PQM SETUP \ CLEAR DATA \ CLEAR 
ENERGY VALUES
 clears this value. The displayed value will roll over to 0 once the value 
4294967295 (FFFFFFFFh) has been reached.
REAL ENERGY LAST 24h: This message displays the accumulated real energy (in kWh) over 
the last 24-hour period. The 24-hour period used by the PQM is started when control power 
is applied. The PQM updates this value every hour based on the previous 24-hour period. 
This information will be lost if control power to the PQM is removed.
REAL ENERGY COST: This message displays the total cost for the real energy accumulated 
since the 
TIME OF LAST RESET date. The setpoint S1 PQM SETUP \ CLEAR DATA \ CLEAR 
ENERGY VALUES
 clears this value.
REAL ENERGY COST PER DAY: This message displays the average cost of real energy per 
day from time of last reset to the present day. The cost per kWh is entered in the 
S1 PQM 
SETUP \ CALCULATION PARAMETERS \ ENERGY COST PER KWH
 setpoint.
TARIFF PERIOD 1/2/3 COST: These messages display the cost accrued for the three user-
definable tariff periods. The start time and cost per KWh for these tariff periods are entered 
with the 
S1 PQM SETUP \ CALCULATION PARAMETERS \ TARIFF PERIOD 1/2/3 START 
TIME
 and the S1 PQM SETUP \ CALCULATION PARAMETERS \ TARIFF PERIOD 1/2/3 
COST PER KWH
 setpoints, respectively.
TARIFF PERIOD 1/2/3 NET ENERGY: These messages display the net energy for the three 
user-definable tariff periods. The start time and cost per KWh for these tariff periods are 
entered with the 
S1 PQM SETUP \ CALCULATION PARAMETERS \ TARIFF PERIOD 1/2/3 
START TIME
 and the S1 PQM SETUP \ CALCULATION PARAMETERS \ TARIFF PERIOD 1/
2/3 COST PER KWH
 setpoints, respectively.
TIME OF LAST RESET: This message displays the time and date when the energy 
parameters were last cleared. The setpoint 
S1 PQM SETUP \ CLEAR DATA \ CLEAR 
ENERGY VALUES
 clears the energy values.
