CHAPTER 3: OPERATION DEFAULT MESSAGES
PQM POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 3–9
3.4 Default Messages
3.4.1 Description Up to 10 default messages can be selected to display sequentially when the PQM is left
unattended. If no keys are pressed for the default message time in the
S1PQMSETUP\PREFERENCES\DEFAULTMESSAGETIME setpoint, then the currently
displayed message will automatically be overwritten by the first default message. After
three seconds, the next default message in the sequence will display if more than one is
selected. Alarm messages will override the default message display. Any setpoint or
measured value can be selected as a default message.
Messages are displayed in the order they are selected.
3.4.2 Adding a
Default
Message
Use the and keys to display any setpoint or actual value
message to be added to the default message queue and follow the steps shown below.
When selecting a setpoint message for display as a default, do not modify the value using
the and keys or the PQM will recognize the key as
storing a setpoint instead of selecting a default message
If 10 default messages are already selected, the first message is erased and the new
message is added to the end of the queue.
3.4.3 Deleting a
Default
Message
Use the / keys to display the default message to be erased. If
default messages are not known, wait until the PQM starts to display them and then write
them down. If no default messages have been programmed, the PQM will remain on the
current message and the display dims to the level assigned in
S1PQMSETUP\PREFERENCES\DEFAULTMESSAGEBRIGHTNESS after the
DEFAULT MESSAGE TIME delay expires. Use the / keys to display
the setpoint or actual value message to be deleted from the default message queue and
follow the steps below.
The
DEFAULT MESSAGE BRIGHTNESS setpoint is only applicable for PQMs
with older hardware revisions that include a vacuum fluorescent display
(VFD), not a liquid crystal display (LCD).
