Configuring a Monitor

Set the line frequency of the monitor to match the operating frequency of the asset. This
frequency is used to qualify data collection in some monitors, so it must be correct.
Note:
For example, if the line frequency is set to 60 Hz, then a PD monitoring
technology will expect a synchronization frequency of 60 Hz; if the
detected synchronization frequency is not very close to 60 Hz, then
the monitor will consider that a synchronization failure.

Select how the clock will be synchronized when the settings are uploaded to the monitor;
either to the connected computer or to a specific time-zone.
Note:
The clock is crucial to monitor operation. If the clock is not set
properly then the recorded time-stamps of every measurement will
not be correct. This will make trending data difficult.

If the clock is set to a date that is completely unreasonable
measurements may be prevented entirely. For example, when the
clock gets reset due to a combined battery backup failure and power
cycle, some monitors may not collect data at all until the clock is fixed.

7.2. TracII Remote I/O Output Configuration

For BusTracII and HydroTracII an optional Remote I/O Unit can be used to provide
analog outputs proportional to the measured PD levels. Press the ‘ASOM’ button on the
ribbon.

Note:
Analog outputs are only available on TracII monitors; they are not
available on GuardII monitors.

• Enter the IP address of the Remote I/O Unit.

• Select the configuration that will be used; in most cases the default configuration will
be fine and unless you have specifically requested a custom configuration, then the
configuration selection will be greyed out and Default will be the only option.
