e. Outlet Status: Outlet Status is displayed below Connection Status. The current state
of the outlets is displayed (either On or Off), and pressing the On/Off button will
manually turn the output On and Off. When connected to the Next Gen PCS Filter
during an abnormal voltage condition (power outage, under-voltage, or over-voltage),
wiring fault (Reverse Polarity [Live/Neutral reversed], or Missing Ground), the On/Off
outlet control is not available, and the corresponding abnormal voltage/wiring fault
condition will be displayed beside the outlet status.
*A ground connection may be
made through the computer connection. It is recommended to determine the outlet
wiring status with the Next Gen PCS Filter before connecting the Next Gen PCS Data
Interface Cable, or to use a laptop computer with its charger disconnected.
f. Recorded Data Display: The lower portion of the screen is a display of the data
recorded and stored in the Next Gen PCS Filter
’s internal memory. Power quality
event totals are
listed in the “XG Memory Totals” table. The events are listed in the
“XG Time Stamps” table in order of occurrence (with the most recent events at the
top) with their corresponding estimated date and time of occurrence. The events are
also graphically displayed on
the “Power Quality Events By Estimated Date/Time”
graph in order of occurrence by estimated date and time (the Next Gen PCS Filter
does not currently record the duration of a power outage event). If additional power
quality events are recorded while connected to the Next Gen PCS Filter, the data
display will automatically update with the new information. The Next Gen PCS Filter
Microcontroller can record up to 999 occurrences of each of the following:
i. Over-Voltage Events
ii. Under-Voltage Events
iii. Power Outage Events
iv. Surge Events
g. Timestamps: In addition to the Recorded Data events, the Next Gen PCS Filter
microcontroller also timestamps up to 60 recorded events.
i. The timestamp is a record of the elapsed time (up to 99 Days, 23 Hours, 59
Minutes, and 59 seconds) since the last recorded event
– this is the time
difference between subsequent events, not the elapsed time from an initial
starting point. Please note: The amount of elapsed time during power outages
is not recorded.
ii. The Next Gen PCS Diagnostic Software estimates the actual date and time of
each event occurrence based on the recorded time difference between
events, and the current date and time of the connected computer.
iii. The graph uses the values of 0%, 50%, 150%, and 600% for graphical display
of power outages, under-voltages, over-voltages, and surge events,
respectively; the actual voltages during these events are not recorded and
probably differ from the graphical values (0%, 50%, 150%, and 600%) shown.
