4.6.2 Channel Assignments
The Channel Assignments setup allows you to link the device current terminals to submeters so they can
monitor them. Additionally, this setup allows you to specify the primary current rating of the current
transformers connected to the device terminals. The number of the selected current inputs for a submeter
specifies if it will be a single-, two-, or three-phase meter.
Always select your submeters (both metering and totalization) in a sequence without gaps so that
your device does not occupy unnecessary network addresses.
To enter the setup dialog, select the device site from the list box on the PAS toolbar, select General Setup
from the Meter Setup menu, and then click on the Channel Assignments tab.
The following table lists available options.
