The displays can be set up to read channels A, V, or
P, toggle between A & V, V & P, A & P, A & V & P,
toggle between channels A, V, or P & units, the
max/min of any of the channels, including the power
channel (P), set points, or the Modbus input. In
addition to the parameters available on display line 1,
line 2 can display Engineering units or it could be
turned off.
Display Intensity (
d-Inty
)
The meter has eight display intensity levels to give the
best performance under various lighting conditions.
Select intensity 8 for outdoor applications. The default
intensity is 6.
Display Voltage and Current
Individually or at Same Time
The meter can accept both a voltage and a current
input. These can be displayed as one or the other as
illustrated in the first set of screen shots below or both
at the same time as illustrated by the second set of
screen shots.
Toggling Between Reading & Units
with Tag and Calculating Apparent
Power
The meter below is programmed so that line 1 toggles
between the reading and units, and line 2 displays a
tag. A math channel P calculates apparent power as
the product of the voltage and current inputs shown in
the bottom two images.
