Binary_Input Objects
Use the Present_Value properties of the Binary_Input objects as alerts for conditions of potential concern regarding to the system measurement. These values are dynamic
and are not latched, so if the condition is resolved, the alert will go inactive, whether it has been read or not.
These objects support the Description and Reliability object properties and all required Binary_Input object properties. None of them are writable. For complete assurance,
check the Reliabilty property for a No_Fault_Detected status before reading the Present_Value.
To test the meter’s alert status, read the Present_Value of each of the Binary_Input objects representing the alert bits of interest, or read the Present_Value of AI52, which
combines all 15 bits into a single decimal value. AI52 represents the status of all Binary_Object alert values in one number that can be read without having to access mulitple
objects. The bit value of Object BI1 is the least significant bit and BI15 is the most significant bit.
# Name Description R/W Range Additional information
BI1 Volts_Error_A Voltage Out of Range Phase A R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase A Input Voltage exceeds meter’s measurement range
BI2 Volts_Error_B Voltage Out of Range Phase B R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase B Input Voltage exceeds meter’s measurement range
BI3 Volts_Error_C Voltage Out of Range Phase C R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase C Input Voltage exceeds meter’s measurement range
BI4 Current_Error_A Current Out of Range Phase A R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase A Current out of range
BI5 Current_Error_A Current Out of Range Phase B R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase B Current out of range
BI6 Current_Error_A Current Out of Range Phase C R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase C Current out of range
BI7 Frequency_Error Frequency Error R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase A Frequency out of range
BI8 Reserved_BI8 Reserved R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Returns “INACTIVE”
BI9 Phase_Loss_A Phase Loss Phase A R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase Loss - Phase A voltage dropped below the Phase Loss Threshold set
by user
BI10 Phase_Loss_B Phase Loss Phase B R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase Loss - Phase B voltage dropped below the Phase Loss Threshold set
by user
BI11 Phase_Loss_C Phase Loss Phase C R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase Loss - Phase C voltage dropped below the Phase Loss Threshold set
by user
BI12 Power_Factor_A Low Power Factor Phase A R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase A Power Factor less than 50% (commonly due to mis-wiring of CTs/
PTs to meter)
BI13 Power_Factor_B Low Power Factor Phase B R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase B Power Factor less than 50% (commonly due to mis-wiring of CTs/
PTs to meter)
BI14 Power_Factor_C Low Power Factor Phase C R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Phase C Power Factor less than 50% (commonly due to mis-wiring of CTs/
PTs to meter)
BI15 RTC_Reset RTC Reset R 0=INACTIVE, 1=ACTIVE Real-Time Clock reset. This goes active when the meter is powered after
an interruption (since it does not use a battery backup). It indicates that
the real-time clock has re-initialized to a default setting (00:00:00:00 on
Jan 1, 2000) and should not be relied upon. The clock run, the meter will
operate and even log data, but the date and time will not be correct until a
Time_Synchronization occurs.
