Using Removable Memory Cards
Introduction
Your meter has adequate internal memory storage for most normal operating situations. However, the
ability to use a removable memory card has several significant advantages:

extra storage for very long monitoring sessions

faster transfer of data from meter to computer

backup of data that is in the meter and on your computer

non-volatile storage of data about specific jobs or equipment
Your meter is designed to use SD or MMC memory cards. This capability provides essentially
unlimited storage capabilities for your meter. Your meter is fully operational and usually has sufficient
storage without the removable memory.
Installation of the card is simple. Simply push it into the slot on the right side of the meter. Insert it so
that the top of the card is visible as you look down on the face of the meter. It cannot insert fully if it is
upside down. To remove the card, grasp it between your finger tips and pull (or use needle nose pliers
if wearing gloves).
Operation and Limitations

Whenever a memory card is inserted into your meter, it automatically gets updated with all the
data that is on the meter
 When the card is inserted, the meter will display “Memory Card Present”. When it is removed,
the display will be “Memory Card Removed”.

If
the display ever says “Insert Memory Card Again”, remove the card if it is already mounted
and then insert it firmly back into the slot.

Do not insert or remove a memory card while the meter is monitoring.

Generally, any SD or MMC memory card that is from 64 MB through 2 GB in size will work in
the meter. If it does not, the meter will display “Incompatible Format”.

The meter will not write over existing files and pictures on the memory card, so memory cards
from cameras etc can be used when needed.

Presently the meter only reads cards that are formatted using the FAT16 (or simply,
the “FAT”)
file system. Cards below 64MB will typically use the FAT12 system, and will need to be
reformatted to FAT16 in order to be used in your meter. Cards that are 4 GB and above use the
FAT32 system and cannot be read by the meter.

Cards between 32 MB and 4GB that have been reformatted will not work with your meter unless
they are reformatted to FAT16 (
or “FAT”).

Do not change the location of the files and folders that are automatically created when the card
is inserted into the meter. Any changes will likely make the data impossible for your Power
System Manager (PSM) software to locate them.
