ATPOL II allows you to set the utility rate used in calculating the cost of energy consumed. Presently,
one simple rate is used. That rate can be displayed on the ATPOL II by pressing [Setup] five times. To
change this rate, press [No/Reject] and follow the instructions to enter the new rate. When the new
interval is entered correctly, press [Yes/Accept]. The rate may be set from $0.00001 to $999,999 per
KWH. This wide range is helpful when setting the rate for certain international currencies.
The present "on/off" current setting is displayed on the ATPOL II by pressing [Setup] six times. To
change this setting, press [No/Reject] and follow the instructions to enter the new setting. When the
new setting is entered correctly, press [Yes/Accept]. Note that this value is only used for the current in
phase 1.
Administrative Functions
A collection of functions that are neither measurements nor calibrations are collected under the heading
of administrative functions. They include:
Identifying the unit
Viewing the options that are loaded
Changing the time and date
Changing the initial displayed greeting
Setting the communications rate
Enabling/Disabling 2 Current Mode
All administrative functions are available by pressing [Admin] and following the directions.
Identifying the unit results in the following being displayed:
Serial number of the unit (its unique identity)
Digital Processing revision level (algorithms used for
measurement)
Firmware revision level (what level of software is active within
ATPOL II)
Hardware revision level (what level of hardware compatibility it is).
These identifiers are important in any communications with ATP about your unit.
Viewing the options that are loaded results in a display such as:
This display indicates that
Extended Memory (“M”) is active. This
information may be important in communications with ATP.
Changing the time and date is useful for identifying the demand period, for
identifying when monitoring began, and is used to label each record of the data
log. To set the time and date, press [Yes/Accept] when asked if you wish to
change it. Then use [<-] or [->] to position the cursor under a digit that you
wish to change. Repeatedly press [Incre] or [Decre] until the digit is what you
wish it to be. Do this for each digit you wish to change and then press the
[Yes/Accept] key to save the new time or date.
Changing the initial display, or "greeting", is accomplished by using [<-] or [->]
and [Incre] and [Decre] to modify individual characters. This approach,
although tedious, is effective in customizing the instrument for your use. If the
PC Control/Analysis Option is available, the greeting may be quickly typed
directly into the PC and then sent to ATPOL II via the communications cable. When repeatedly
pressing [Incre], the sequence that a character goes through is :
