CONFIG - CYCLE TIME
The CYCLE TIME parameter sets the amount of time to wait before
displaying the next bank measurement. The parameter can be set to
FAST, MEDIUM, or SLOW.
CONFIG - NUMBER OF CHANNELS
The unit can be configured to work for 1, 2, or 3 power bank devices.
Note that reducing the number of banks to 1 removes the total current
monitoring processes.
CONFIG - CONTRAST
The CONTRAST feature allows the user to adjust the contrast of the LCD
screen to a desired level.
CONFIG – SOFTWARE REV
Selecting the REV parameter will display the current revision of software
loaded into the meter.
CONFIG - METERING CALIBRATIONS
The unit’s onboard voltage and current monitoring devices require a
two-step calibration procedure to achieve maximum accuracy. Each
power bank has adjustable parameters in the menu system for voltage
and current. This calibration is performed at the factory before shipment.

Alarm Capabilities
Each power bank has four major alarm thresholds that can be adjusted.
There is an upper and lower limit for input voltage. There is also an
upper and lower limit for distributed current. An alarm is also signaled
if the current reaches two minor limits: 80% of upper limit, 90% of upper
limits.
If a major alarm threshold is surpassed the unit will respond by setting
the power bank indicator LED to red and setting the audible alarm
buzzer.
If a minor alarm threshold is surpassed the unit will toggle the LED
indicator and audible alarm. The 80% alarm toggles the LED and buzzer
once per second. The 90% alarm toggles twice per second.
If an alarm condition exists and the PDU is in monitor mode, the audible
alarm may be silenced by pressing the Alarm Acknowledge button. If the
PDU is not in monitor mode and is in the system menu, select the Alarm
Acknowledge menu item. The audible alarm will remain silenced until
another alarm threshold is exceeded.
