does not matter which order of weekdays or months you selected: the
BFM136 recognizes the correct order.

3. For exception days such as holidays, select a specific day either by

specifying a day and month, or by selecting a month, a week and a
weekday within the month.

Configuring Data Recorders

The BFM136 provides a separate Data recorder for each metering
submeter. The recorder is triggered via a setpoint periodically for recording
interval data (see

Using Alarm/Control Setpoints

).

The device memory is factory partitioned to allow recording one data log file
per submeter (Data Log #1) with a maximum of 5000 records per file. A data
log file is organized as a wrap-around file that needs not to be cleared
explicitly though it can be done via PAS (see

Clearing Maximum Demands

and Log Files

). When a file is filled up, the new records overwrite oldest

records, so a file always keeps the 5000 latest records.

The Data recorder is programmable to record up to six data parameters per
record. The list of parameters is configured individually for each submeter
and can be read and changed via the corresponding submeter’s address.

To configure the data log for a submeter:

1. Select Log Setup from the Meter Setup menu.

2. Configure the list of parameters to be recorded in the data log file. See

Parameters for Data Monitoring and Logging

in Appendix C for a list of

the available parameters.

3. Add the name for your data log file in the Name box. It will appear in the

data log reports.

4. Save your new setup to the device database, and send it to the meter.
5. Configure a setpoint for periodic triggering the Data recorder using the

MINUTE INTERVAL trigger (see

Using Alarm/Control Setpoints

).
