name and press one
of the buttons to apply
the name to this
string or to all the
strings.

When the Site

the sensors the jars
are numbered with jar
one being the most
negative. If jar one
should be the most
positive jar push the
String Polarity
Change button. A
warning message will
appear. Either accept
the change or cancel.
If a Current Measurement Interface is present for this string the Current Sensor Setup box will
appear. The polarity of either the Float Current Sensor or the Discharge Current Sensor can be
reversed in case they were installed incorrectly. Pressing the Zero the Float Current button will
zero the current sensor the same as pressing the button on the Current Sensor Interface.
Pressing the Undo Zero Set button removes the zero calibration. The P-Bus Voltage is
measured at the Current Sensor Interface. The voltage should be above 4.5 VDC. Lower
voltages indicate that the P-Bus may be overloaded.

Admittance on All Jars button is pressed, an admittance measurement will be made on all jars
in this string.
If the Reset This String button is pressed a reset command will be sent to all sensors on this
string. This will force the Site Controller to reinitialize the sensors.
If the Delete This String button is pressed the string will be deleted from the Site Controller. All
user settings for this string will be lost. If there are sensors connected to this string port on the
Site Controller they will be reset and rediscovered.
