Configuring the basic setup parameters
Proper configuration of the meter’s basic setup parameters is essential for accurate
measurement and calculations. Use the Basic Setup screen to define the electrical
power system that the meter is monitoring.
If standard (1-sec) alarms have been configured and you make subsequent changes to
the meter’s basic setup, all alarms are disabled to prevent undesired alarm operation.
After saving the changes, confirm all configured standard alarm settings are still valid,
reconfigure them as required, and re-enable the alarms.
