e. Outlet Status: Outlet Status is displayed below Connection Status. The current state of the outlets is
displayed (either On or Off), and pressing the On/Off button will manually turn the output On and Off. When
connected to the Surge + Diagnostic during an abnormal voltage condition (power outage, under-voltage, or
over-voltage), wiring fault (Reverse Polarity [Live/Neutral reversed], or Missing Ground), the On/Off outlet
control is not available, and the corresponding abnormal voltage/wiring fault condition will be displayed beside
the outlet status. *A ground connection may be made through the computer connection. It is recommended to
determine the outlet wiring status with the Surge + Diagnostic before connecting the Surge + Diagnostic Data
Interface Cable, or to use a laptop computer with its charger disconnected.
f. Recorded Data Display: The lower portion of the screen is a display of the data recorded and stored in the
Surge + Diagnostic internal memory. Power quality event totals are listed in the “XG Memory Totals” table.
The events are listed in the “XG Time Stamps” table in order of occurrence (with the most recent events at the
top) with their corresponding estimated date and time of occurrence. The events are also graphically
displayed on the “Power Quality Events By Estimated Date/Time” graph in order of occurrence by estimated
date and time (the Surge + Diagnostic does not currently record the duration of a power outage event). If
additional power quality events are recorded while connected to the Surge + Diagnostic, the data display will
automatically update with the new information. The Surge + Diagnostic Microcontroller can record up to 999
occurrences of each of the following:
i. Over-Voltage Events
ii. Under-Voltage Events
iii. Power Outage Events
iv. Surge Events
g. Timestamps: In addition to the Recorded Data events, the Surge + Diagnostic microcontroller also
timestamps up to 60 recorded events.
i. The timestamp is a record of the elapsed time (up to 99 Days, 23 Hours, 59 Minutes, and 59
seconds) since the last recorded event – this is the time difference between subsequent events, not
the elapsed time from an initial starting point. Please note: The amount of elapsed time during
power outages is not recorded.
ii. The Surge + Diagnostic Software estimates the actual date and time of each event occurrence
based on the recorded time difference between events, and the current date and time of the
connected computer.
iii. The graph uses the values of 0%, 50%, 150%, and 600% for graphical display of power outages,
under-voltages, over-voltages, and surge events, respectively; the actual voltages during these
events are not recorded and probably differ from the graphical values (0%, 50%, 150%, and 600%)
shown.
