6.12.1 Graphs

The trending graphs allow the user to view the individual 
“trends” of the parameters listed in Table 21 with respect to 
time. The time displayed is the PC system time, and is 
shown in HH:MM format.

To view the trending “Graphs”, as shown in Figure 40, click 
on the down arrow next to the “Trending” icon, and select 
“Charts 1”.

For each graph, the parameter plotted may be changed at 
any time by selecting a different parameter from the drop-

Graph: 
%Power Demand vs. Hours

The graph shows the number of hours the compressor has been in 
operation for a given power demand. The statistical values of operating 
hours for each 10% of power demand is displayed in the “Load Profile 
Data” section.

Total Time Online

Total time the compressor has been running.

Total Energy Usage Estimation 
kWh

The estimated total energy used in an hour.

Reset Load Profile Data button

Reset the operating hours.

Reset Energy Usage Data button

Reset the energy usage counter.
