Screen Descriptions
Detailed descriptions of each remote device data and configuration screen
can be found in Chapter 5, ‘‘Powermonitor Data Display and Configuration.”
The Powermonitor Software provides a security system to protect
Powermonitors from inadvertently:
a. having their relays manually operated/released.
b. having their kWH, kVARH or kVAH totals cleared, or Min/Max
Logs reset.
c. having any of their user–programmable operating parameters reset
from the computer.
The Powermonitor Software password is used for this purpose. Prior to any
of the above listed operations, the Powermonitor Software will prompt the
user for the required password. If the password entered by the operator is
incorrect, the Powermonitor Software will abort the operation.
When the Powermonitor Software is run for the first time, the Powermonitor
Software password is set to the single digit zero (“0”). It is recommended
that the user change this default password as soon as possible, using the
Powermonitor Software PASSWORD screen (see Figure 4.4 on Page 4–10).
