Meter Setup
Once communications is established between the PC and the PowerScout, you are now ready to
configure the meter for the field. This is accomplished in the Meter Setup tab of ViewPoint.
The
Meter Setup
screen allows unique changes to an element on the 3037. Within the element,
CT
Phase, Type, Amps,
and
Phase Shift
are entered, based on wiring connection, for CT1, CT2, and CT3. The
type of wiring connection and the
Digital Output
are also entered for the element. Overall, a
Demand
Window
of 1–60 minutes is available for the recording of values and a
Line Frequency
of 50 Hz or 60 Hz
is selectable.
NOTE:
In PowerScout meters, Peak Demand is calculated using a moving window and is averaged across
the selected demand window size. Each minute the total consumption is recalculated and compared to
the last demand window. If the new window is larger than the last recorded value it is recorded. This
value is calculated during the sampling of the waveform.
The Meter Setup screen is blank when first accessed. Click
Retrieve Meter Setup
to view the current
status of the element. The Element Status dialog box displays while the element is read.
