PERFORMING RESETS The Resets option lets you reset energy, demand, and min/max values. The
USING THE RESETS same reset operations can be done using the Configuration option (described
OPTION on the previous page). The difference is that using the Resets option, you can
perform resets only—you cannot change configuration values.
The Resets option is password protected. To access the Resets option, you
must enter either the master password, or a special reset password. (See
Setting the Master Password in this chapter for instructions on defining the
master password.)
The reset password can be used to prevent accidental changes to
configuration values. For example, you could provide an operator with the
reset password only, allowing the operator to perform resets, but not change
configuration values.
The reset password defaults to the master password. The circuit monitor’s
factory default master password is 0. Therefore, when you receive a new
circuit monitor, its reset password is also 0. When you change the master
password, the reset password changes to match it. To define a reset
password different than the master password, you must write a unique
value—in the range 1–9998—to circuit monitor register 2031. You can write
to register 2031 in one of two ways:
• From a remote PC, using POWERLOGIC application software. (Refer to
the software instruction manual for specific instructions on writing to
circuit monitor registers.)
• From the front panel of the circuit monitor, using the Diagnostics option.
(See Reading and Writing Registers from the Front Panel in the Circuit
Monitor Reference Manual for instructions on reading and writing registers
using the Diagnostics option.)
Important: After you’ve defined a reset password, you can access the Resets
option using either the reset password or the master password.
To perform resets using the Resets option, refer to figure 4-3 and complete the
following steps:
1. Press the MODE button until the red LED next to [Setup] is lit.
The circuit monitor displays “ConFig.”
2. Press the down arrow SELECT METER button once.
The circuit monitor displays “rESETS.”
3. Press the PHASE [Enter] button to select the Resets option.
The circuit monitor displays the password prompt “P - - - -.”
4. Enter either the master password or the reset password.
To enter a password, use the SELECT METER [Value] buttons to increase
or decrease the displayed value until it reaches the password value. Then
press the PHASE [Enter] button.
5. Follow steps 4–9 of the reset procedure described on the previous page.
