The “Property Table” dialog box is a tool used to load property tables into the meter. This dialog
box can also be used to export a property table, but that operation is seldom needed. Typically,
property tables are loaded into the meter at the factory and do not need to be changed.
Click the “Import” button to load a property table into the meter. The user will then be prompted
for the file to import. The “Property Table Name” and “Property Table Version Number” fields
display the table name and version number of the table that resides in the meter. Only one
table is stored in the meter at a time. When a new property table is imported, the old property
table is overwritten.
Property tables are available from Racine.
NOTE: The steam table is separate from the property table that can be imported and exported. The steam
table resides in permanent memory and cannot be overwritten.

simply uncheck the “Fixed Current” check box and click Write. When disabling fixed current mode, the
loop current will remain the same until meter is put in-service.
