Reset counters:
The ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter stores extreme values for selected parameters. This page
allows the user to reset these values. The parameters for resetting are:
√
Current and voltage Min/Max
√
Flickering Min/Max
√
Energy demand
√
Energy
√
Compliance (EN50160)
√
System event logger (not recommended)
Network Setup: This page is used to define the network parameters. The relevant network parameters are explained in
Table 1 on page 16. When accessing an energized ASCO 5010 RDU, the network parameters referred to are those of the
LAN1 socket of the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter to which it is connected. For more on accessing and
configuring both the ASCO 5010 RDU and the ASCO 5400 Series PQM, go to 7.2 and 8.2 respectively.
Auto connect page: This parameter is the time it takes for the ASCO 5010 RDU to switch automatically from the
'Connection Configuration' page where network parameters for the RDU itself may be configured (see Section 7) to the
Network Menu, where the network parameters for the last connected ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter are
changed (see Section8.2).
Auto logoff configuration: This parameter sets the time to log off automatically after the last button was pushed.
Password configuration: This is where the access control takes place, allowing modification to viewer, user and admin
passwords.
Set demand and energy intervals: This page allows the user to determine the demand and energy demand intervals.
Set metering energy time: Not currently in use.
Set time zone: The user must input the local offset to UTC (Greenwich Mean Time).
Set regional settings: Not currently in use.
Set averaging intervals: This parameter allows the user to input an interval time for averaging the RMS values that
appear on the screen, this is to avoid an illegible display due to overly frequent display update. Default value is 30
seconds.
Firmware update: This submenu enables updating firmware of the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter.

PQZip Setup
PQZip is the ASCO patent that enables total power quality information. Instead of proactively setting triggers to capture and
photograph the waveform of a power quality event that may or may not happen again, and may or may not be of the expected
magnitude according to which the trigger was set, PQZip enables the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter to constantly
record the waveform at a high resolution. This is possible due to the high compression ratio achieved by PQZip. Depending on the
electrical system being monitored, compression ratios as high as 1:1000 and even 1:10000 are achieved.
