Although the meter ships with a fully functional, factory-configured template, its modular design enables you to customize the functions of the meter. The graphic below outlines the key components of the architecture in your meter: the node meter , the template, frameworks, ION modules and module managers. A factoryconfigured template with a broad range of functionality is created for each firmware revision of the meter.
Frameworks: A framework is a group of ION modules linked together and configured to perform a specific function, such as power quality monitoring. For example, a meter with a power quality framework can monitor disturbances, monitor realtime harmonics and analyze surges. Managers: ION managers act as directories of modules, organizing the available modules in a meter. There is one manager for each type of module Power Meter manager, Maximum manager, etc.
Each type of module is designed to perform a specific task, similar to a single function in a conventional power meter. The functions available in the meter result from linking different types of modules. By linking modules together, you can create custom functions for your power-monitoring system.
All ION modules have a similar structure. Each module is identified by a unique label that generally implies its function. Output registers contain data that has been processed by the module. Use this data directly e. Setup registers contain configuration settings for the module. Customize how the module processes data by changing the settings of the setup registers. Sub Intvl. Sub Intvls. Pred Resp. The Factory module also contains numerous read-only setup registers that hold the calibration constants used at the factory.
Three configurable setup registers are provided for you to enter your company name and other text information you want stored in the meter:. The basic setup of the device can be retained, so the meter does not need to be taken out of service for a long period of time. If you restore the factory configuration, all recorded data and any custom features that you have created such as custom alarms or custom data recorders are lost.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury or equipment damage. Obtain the meter template that you want to update or restore:. Save the. DCF file. The default template file location is Select the Template screen.

You can upgrade the firmware operating software on your meter using ION Setup. Ensure that the firmware version that you are upgrading to is compatible with your meter and that the version number is greater than your existing firmware or else you will downgrade your meter. Lost passwords cannot be recovered. Laptop computers generally have different default power properties than desktop computers. Incorrect power options can adversely affect device upgrading because the connection between the laptop and the device must be maintained in order to complete the upgrade successfully.
Do not run the laptop on its battery. This prevents a shut down if the laptop is accidentally closed. The maximum acceptable baud rate for upgrading via ModemGate is Ensure that the baud rate on the ModemGate communications port and the baud rate on the meter to be upgraded are set to this or lower. If you want to retain these values across a firmware upgrade, you can use the Register.

The Status Bar of the meter is located along the top of all display screens. These data display screens are described below. Numeric displays show multiple parameters at a time: two, three, three with a timestamp, four, eight, ten, or twenty. When displaying numeric values for current and power quantities, the front panel shows resolution to three decimal places by default. All other values are displayed to two decimals of accuracy.
For finer resolutions, use Vista software to display the data. NOTE: If the front panel is unable to read a numeric value, or if the value is not available, it displays a dash —.
The front panel automatically scales the units for basic measurements, such as voltage, current and power parameters. For example, a measurement of 2, Watts is displayed as 2. A measurement of 2,, Watts is displayed as 2. The meter makes these conversions using your PT and CT ratios. Phase information is displayed in phasor diagram format. Phasor diagrams are accompanied by tables that state the angle and magnitude of each phasor.
In cases where phasors are too small to be represented graphically, they are only shown as table entries. See the Templates, Frameworks and Firmware chapter for details on configuring the.
Harmonics content is displayed in histogram format. Harmonics are displayed from the 2 nd to the 63 rd harmonic, with Total Harmonic Distortion THD values displayed above the histogram K Factor and Crest Factor only appear in current harmonic histograms. On ION meters, use the vertical navigation buttons on the meter front panel to select individual harmonics from 2 nd to 63 rd in the histogram and view data specific to each of them V 1 , V 2 , V 3 , I 1 , I 2 , and I 3 only.
An arrow appears below the harmonic selected. Harmonic magnitude is displayed as an absolute value and as a percentage of the fundamental. The phase angle of each harmonic is also provided. To return to the THD values, position the arrow below the fundamental.
Bar graph displays can show up to four real-time numeric parameters along with their upper and lower extremes. Each bar graph automatically scales its output based on the magnitude of its extremes. NOTE: Scaling is applied separately to each bar graph in the display. Do not compare the magnitudes of two values based on the size of their bars. The Trend Display screen graphs the historical data of up to four different parameters simultaneously. A movable cursor, consisting of the intersection of a vertical line and a horizontal line, displays the value and timestamp of any plotted data within a parameter.
The cursor displays the values of one parameter at one time only. Use the Up and Down navigation keys to move from one parameter to another. In addition, a Trend Display log screen displays data logs for any graphed parameter — up to logs for each parameter. That is equivalent to 35 days worth of 15 minute.

Set the front panel to update its data from every one to every six seconds. The default update time is one second. Set the front panel display contrast level from level zero to level nine where higher numbers represent a sharper level of contrast.
The contrast level cycles through its range 0 to 9. Release the buttons at the contrast level you desire. Set the backlight to turn off automatically after one to seconds two hours. If this value is set to zero, the backlight will always. When set to Instrument, vectors appear 60 degrees apart — showing the actual voltage. When set to System, vectors appear.
Set the language that is used to display default front panel items. The default is English. For more information on language, convention and other localization options, see. For more detailed information on these modules, see the ION Reference.
The Display Options module contains setup registers that hold data display settings. Settings in the Display Options modules are global and affect the entire set of front. Sets the numbering format by determining how groups of three digits are separated. Sets how vector phasor diagrams are displayed when the meter is in Delta mode. Determines whether users can change meter configuration settings via the front panel.
The Scroll module determines the sequence and rate of scrolling for multiple front panel display screens. Sets the time that will elapse between successive pulses on the Trigger outputs when the. Designates the last Trigger output Trigger n before returning to the first Trigger in the order. Freeze , Up , or Down inputs. The Trigger outputs of a Scroll module are linked to the inputs of Display modules. When a pulse is sent from the Trigger output of a Scroll module to a linked Display module, the Display module shows its information on the front panel.
A Display module controls which values are displayed on a display screen, and how these values are presented. Each Display module corresponds to one meter display screen. Many Display modules available in the meter are used in the factory configuration.
You can alter some characteristics of the factory-configured displays by modifying the setup register of the Display modules. Depending on the display screen type, which is specified by the Screen Type setup register, you can use up to twenty Source links to a single Display module.
This means you can show the values of up to twenty different sources on one front panel display screen. In addition, you can display harmonics, trending, and event logs see the Screen Types table below. The number of inputs for the Display module should match the Screen Type setup register.
If a Screen Type is selected which has fewer parameters than are linked to the module, the Display module only displays the Display Type number, and breaks any links to parameters that it cannot display. Changing these parameters requires that you alter the links between various ION modules. To define a custom reset, use ION software to link one of these External Pulse modules to the Reset input of the module that holds the value that you want to reset.
By default, the Trigger output of this module is linked to the User Resets item in the front panel Setup menu. This ION module holds the value that you can reset from the front panel. You may also have to create and configure it. Edit External Pulse module 6 as required.
Most users find that the preconfigured data screens displayed by the front panel LCD Liquid Crystal Display suit their needs. However, front panel displays can also be customized if required. For example, you could do one or all of the following:. In order to customize your front panel display screens, you must make changes to ION modules that belong to the display framework.
The order in which data displays depends on the numbering of the Display modules. Therefore, the data linked to Display module 1 is displayed on the first front panel screen and so on.
Scrolling between the display screens is done with the Up and Down arrow buttons on the front of the meter. Open ION Setup and connect, in basic mode, to your meter.
In the Setup Assistant, navigate to Displays and click Edit. Edit, rename, delete or rearrange displays as desired. If you choose to edit or create a new display, the Display Editor wizard contains three steps for creating or editing display screens.
Click Send to save the changes in the meter. The factory-configured Display framework uses many of the Display modules available in the meter. Only a few of the default screens have room for extra data. To make a significant modification to the existing display framework, you either have to create new display modules and configure them, or change the links and settings of the modules in the existing Display framework or both. Select the Display module responsible for the screen.
Press Delete. This also deletes all links to that particular Display module. Trigger n output of the Scroll module. For example, if your scrolling cycle consists of 5 screens, then Trigger 5 should be linked to the fifth module in the cycle. You can create a new front panel display without dismantling any of the existing displays.
Drag out a new Display module and right-click on the center of the module icon to access its setup registers. Link any required data to the Source inputs of the Display module.
If you want your new screen to appear in the automatic scrolling cycle, then you must link the Show input of the Display module to a Trigger output of a Scroll module. Use Designer software to change displayed parameters in existing screens on your meter. To change parameters, link the output register containing the numeric data you want to display to the Source inputs of the Display module.
If there is not a free Source input, you will have to first delete i. Bar Graph displays are configured differently than other numeric parameter displays. Each bar in the display is associated with three specific Source inputs as follows:. Typically, the minimum and maximum values for each bar graph come from links to the outputs of Minimum and Maximum ION modules that are themselves linked to the realtime parameter shown in the bar graph.
When the meter is in Demo mode, a default trending log showing Vll ab, Ia, PF and KW is displayed rather than the actual log that has been linked to the Display module. The diagram below shows an example of the links necessary for one bar graph in the top position. A Trend Display log screen displays the data logs for any graphed parameter.
To move the cursor right,. A moveable cursor, composed from the intersection of a vertical line and a horizontal line, displays the value and timestamp of any plotted data within a parameter. The cursor only displays the values of one parameter at one time. Move the cursor from one parameter to another with the Up and Down navigation keys.
The minimum and maximum values of the graph automatically scale based on the CT primary and PT primary values. Statistical values for the data such as Minimum, Maximum, and Average also display at the cursor location.
The Minimum and Maximum values display with timestamps. Statistical values are calculated for all the historical data available in the associate data log, including the data that does not fit into the current screen view. It is possible to display up to logs for each parameter; this is 35 days worth of 15 minute data. The graph is updated when a new set of values is recorded.
The highest supported update speed is once per second. Welcome to ManualMachine. We have sent a verification link to to complete your registration. Log In Sign Up. Forgot password? Enter your email address and check your inbox.
