Series PM175 Powermeters

Analog Expander Setup

The meter can provide 16 additional analog outputs via two
optional AX-8 analog expanders that are connected through a
serial RS-422 interface to the meter port COM2. Each
expander has its own address 0 or 1 on the serial interface.

This menu allows you to assign parameters for the expanded
analog outputs and to specify their scales. For more

information on configuring the analog expander outputs in your
meter, see

Programming the Analog Expander

in Chapter 4.

To enter the menu, select the “AEPn” entry from the Main
menu, and press the ENTER button.

The expanded analog outputs are labeled in the following
manner: analog output channels A1-1 through A1-8 are
associated with the analog expander with address 0, while
outputs A2-1 through A2-8 are associated with the analog
expander with address 1.

The menu uses three entries (see pictures above):
1. The upper window indicates an analog expander’s output

channel.

2. The middle window selects a setup parameter to view or

change.

3. The lower window displays the parameter value.

Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to scroll to the desired
analog expander channel.


To select a setup parameter:

1. Press the SELECT button to activate the middle window.
2. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to scroll to the desired

parameter.


To change the parameter value:

1. Press the SELECT button to activate the lower window.
2. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to select the

desired value.

3. Press ENTER to confirm the new parameter setting, or

press ESC to discard changes.

4. You are returned to the middle window to select and

configure another parameter, or confirm the analog output
settings and exit the menu.


To store your new settings after you configured all parameters:

1. When the middle window is highlighted, press the ENTER

button.

2. You are returned to the upper window to select another

analog output or exit the menu.

To exit the menu, press ESC.
