CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING S2 SYSTEM SETUP
PQM POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 4–25
FIGURE 4–14: Setpoints Page 2 – System Setup / Analog Outputs
• ANALOG OUTPUT RANGE: If the T20 option is installed, the Analog Outputs can be 
configured to operate as 4 to 20 mA current sources or 0 to 20 mA current sources. All 
four Analog Outputs will operate with the same range as selected in this setpoint.
• ANALOG OUTPUT MAIN / ANALOG OUTPUT ALT: If the PQM is used in conjunction 
with programmable controllers, automated equipment, or a chart recorder, the 
analog outputs can be used for continuous monitoring. Although parameters can be 
selected for continuous analog output, all values are available digitally through the 
communications interface. Applications include using a computer to automatically 
shed loads as the frequency decreases by monitoring frequency or a chart recorder to 
plot the loading of a system in a particular process.
Each of the analog outputs can be assigned to two of the parameters listed in Table 
4–3: Analog Output Parameters. The analog output main selection is the default 
selection and a programmable switch input can be programmed to multiplex the 
ANALOG OUTPUT ALT selection to the same output depending upon the open or 
closed state of the switch input. See Section 4.3.4: Switch Inputs on page –31 for
