Unchecked Enables recording of the RMS profile during a fault
event
Max. Duration 0-10,000
cycles
100
Maximum duration of the RMS profile log at a 1/2-
cycle rate. The logging is stopped automatically
when either a fault event ends or the specified
number of cycles has been recorded.
Before, Cycles 0-20 cycles

The number of cycles to be recorded prior to the
event
After, Cycles

The number of cycles to be recorded after the
event
Log No.

Specifies the data log file used for data recording
on the fault event
To enable or disable the Fault recorder in your meter:
1. Check or uncheck the “Recorder Enabled” checkbox.
2. Send the new setting to the device.
Configuring Analog Triggers
Voltage and current thresholds are normally specified as a
percent of a nominal (reference) voltage and current. The
voltage reference is the line-to-neutral PT secondary voltage
for the 4LN3 and 3LN3 wiring configurations, and the line-to-
line PT secondary voltage for other wiring configurations. The
reference value for current triggers is the CT secondary
current rating. See
Basic Device Setup
in Chapter 5 for
information on specifying voltage and current ratings in your
device.
To make easier specifying thresholds for voltage and current
triggers, Power Software shows you threshold values in
secondary units that match the percentage you selected for
the triggers. To update the secondary thresholds, type the
threshold for a trigger in percent, and then press Enter or
click elsewhere on the Fault recorder setup tab.
The picture above shows the factory set Fault recorder
options. Notice that the Overcurrent trigger can be used
along with the second Undervoltage trigger combined by
logical AND. If you wish to use the only Overcurrent trigger,
disable (uncheck) the second Undervoltage trigger.
The Zero-Sequence Voltage trigger and the Voltage
Unbalance trigger are disabled by default. Both are very
sensitive to phase unbalances. If you want to use them,
