Section 8.
Using the ASCO 5010 Remote Display Unit
After the ASCO 5010 Remote Display Unit has been configured, it may be used to configure and display the measured
parameters of the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter. One RDU can be used to configure and monitor a number of ASCO
5400 Series PQM by changing the IP address of the instrument to be monitored.
The setup and configuration procedure of the ASCO 5400 Series instrument includes:
ASCO 5400 Series Unit setup:
√
Administration authorization
√
Site name
√
Operator name
√
Site description.
Electrical system parameters:
√
Phase configuration (Y,
∆
)
√
Nominal values (V, I, f)
√
CT/PT ratios (Configuring these parameters must not precede the configuration of the Nominal values)
√
Polarity of input waveforms (normal/reverse)
Network setup
√
Assign IP address
√
other internet relevant configuration parameters
Firmware upgrade
These procedures will be described and explained in the following sections.

Connecting for the First Time
Connecting to the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter with the ASCO 5010 Remote Display Unit is accomplished
differently depending on the manner in which the connection is made, and the purpose of the connection.
Connecting a ASCO 5010 RDU as a static display for a single ASCO 5400 Series PQM requires less configuration than
connecting a single ASCO 5010 unit to multiple ASCO 5400 Series PQM’s over the internet, though this configuration is not
overly complicated requiring only a basic understanding of IP addressing and system parameters from the LAN administrator.
When attempting to make changes to the ASCO 5400 Series configuration, the user will be asked to enter an administrative
password.
