What Is the Access Location?
The Access Location is the primary link between E-Mon Energy™ software and the physical devices. In the Access
Location you will:
• Establish a connection to the devices.
• Set up new hardware.
• Read and verify hardware.
• Monitor real-time load and power usage.
• Download interval data from the devices.
• Access the database for the location.
The Access Location window is divided into groups – Function, Hardware to Access, and Connection Control. The
Function
and Hardware to Access groups are available when you are online with the location: Click the Connect
button to start the connection. The illustration below shows the Access Location window with the Functions and
Hardware
to access groups. Note: If you are not online, the function selections will be disabled.

What Are the Functions?
The Functions are a collection of tasks to perform when accessing the hardware. The Functions are divided into
seven high-levels. Under each of these high-level functions are sub-tasks, which manage and control the hardware.
This section will describe each of the seven high-level functions and their sub-tasks.
Connection Control
Before a connection is made with the hardware, the user must first set a location. This means the devices you
want to connect to must first be selected as the location before connecting. There are two ways to set a
location. The first way is from the main menu by selecting Hardware, then Set Location. The Select Location
dialog will open prompting you to select a Location, then click on the Set button.
