Energy & Demand by Quadrant
Click the By Quadrant button to see a Vista grouping window showing the
following demand measurements by quadrant:
◆ Sliding window and thermal demand for active, reactive, and apparent power in
all four quadrants
◆ Accumulated values of active, reactive, and apparent energy in all four
quadrants
Demand Max and Demand Min
Click the Demand MAX and Demand MIN objects to see a Vista grouping
window showing the maximum and minimum demand measurements.
Loss Compensation
The meter can perform loss compensation to the measurements it provides in one of
two ways. Use this screen to do the following:
1. Enable loss compensation by double-clicking on the Loss Compensation
Mode control object. You can ignore the remaining steps if you disable loss
compensation.
2. Select a Loss Compensation Method (either the “Test Sheet” method or
“%Loss Constants” method), and
3. Enter the power system specifications necessary for the line and transformer
loss calculations to be performed.
Level 3 ION Enterprise authority is required to use control objects and enter
system values.
Setup and Controls
Click the Setup & Controls object in the Revenue Measurements diagram to view
the Setup & Controls grouping window. You may only use the Setup & Controls
if you have Level 3 (or higher) permission.
◆ Meter Mode
During regular service, you should not have to enable TEST mode. Placing the
meter in TEST mode activates the parameters displayed in the Revenue Test
Mode window. Typically, TEST mode should only be enabled for testing and
calibration purposes (see Note). All TEST mode values are cleared when you exit
TEST mode.
N OTE
All billing quantities recorded during normal operation cease to accumulate while the meter is in TEST
mode. The data recorded by the ION 7600 in TEST mode is sent to special TEST mode registers instead.
◆ LED Pulser Mode
This setting determines if front panel LED energy pulser will pulse in NORMAL
and TEST mode, or just in TEST mode. Refer to “Displaying Data with the Front
Panel” on page 22 for more information about the front panel LEDs.
