Verify Hardware Functions
E-Mon Energy™ software can verify the configurations of the recorder, meter, and AMR schedule. It queries
the configurations programmed in the recorder and compares it to the information stored in the database. This
acts as a maintenance feature to check the status and functionality of the devices. To verify the devices, the
user can open the Access Location window under Verify Hardware. The following describes each column of
returned data from the devices.
Verify Recorder Button
The Verify Recorder tells us if the status, profile mode, and demand interval are functioning properly. If a
recorder configuration mismatch occurs, a warning will display in this window. The illustration below shows
the recorders functioning properly.

Columns Description
Status This column displays the condition of the device. If the condition
states “Bad” or “Timeout,” there is a possible error in reading the
device and there may be a hardware or communication issue. If the
condition is “ok,” the hardware is functioning normally.
Prof (Profile) Sample This column displays the profile data interval.
Dmd Int (Demand
Interval)
This column displays the peak demand interval period.
Dmd (Demand) Window This column displays the peak demand interval calculation.
Dmd Sync (Demand
Syncronize)
This column displays the signal used to indicate the end of an
interval. At the present time, we support an “internal” built-in clock.
Warnings This column displays any alarms and/or configuration errors with
the recorder. Note: E-Mon Energy compares settings programmed
into the recorder with settings stored in the database. They should
be identical.
