Using this Guide ION 8000 Series User Guide

Using this Guide
This User’s Guide is directed at three types of user: the typical user or operator, the
system administrator, and the advanced user. You might not fit into any of these
groups directly, or perhaps you are both an operator and an administrator. These
classifications are intended to make this guide easier to navigate with respect to
which information is appropriate to your needs.
Typical User or Operator
Most users simply want to display the data provided by the factory-configured
meter. These users want fast access to data through the front panel, ION software,
or a third-party protocol such as Modbus or DNP.
System Administrator or Manager
Some users need to make minor adjustments so that their meters “fit” their power
systems: data recording intervals, demand sub-intervals and other parameters
may need to be set before the meter’s setup is complete. These users will use the
front panel, or ION software to change settings in the device’s operating software.
(ION Enterprise is highly recommended.)
Advanced User or Systems Integrator
Advanced users may want to make use of the flexibility and power provided by
the device’s operating software. These users will need to become familiar with the
ION architecture, and the ION software tools used to customize the device’s
operation.
