Introduction
Basic configuration of the meter is provided by the Power Meter module. The
Power Meter module is the main connection between the power system
measurements and all other ION modules in the device. This module reports the
values for all voltage, current and power measurements. The Power Meter
module’s setup registers describe details of the power system being monitored.
Many of the Power Meter module’s setup registers are configured when the meter
is initially put into service, although the device cannot operate properly until the
Volts Mode and PT and CT ratios are set. Some registers may need to be changed
to refine the device’s operation. See the ION Reference for more details on the Power
Meter module.
Configuring Basic Setup
Use the front panel or ION software to perform basic meter setup.
Using the Front Panel
The Basic Setup menu item provides access to the following power system settings.
Using ION Setup
The Basic Setup Assistant helps you configure the Power Meter module:
1. Open ION Setup and connect to your meter, using Basic Mode.
