3. Select the meters to share.
In this example, select the Data Center
meter in the Meters Not Assigned to Group
and click the right arrow to assign it.
4. With the meter selected in the
Meters Assigned to Group, enter a
Contribution Factor between
0...100%.
For this example, accept 100% as
the default contribution factor.
You can share portions of the total
meter data with multiple groups.
For example, an electric meter
feeding two production lines may
apportion 60% of the total power
to production line 1 and 40% to
production line 2. You would set
the Contribution Factor to 60%
and 40%, respectively.
5. Click Save Factor if you modify
the Contribution Factor.
6. Click Save at the top of the Edit Group.
You should see the meter in the Meters Assigned to Group with the contribution factor.
TIP Use caution before assigning fixed percentages of meters to groups for cost allocation. If and when actual
conditions differ from the assigned percentages, reports will provide incorrect data.
