The Compliance Type sets the compliance standard.
In order to change or to activate a new compliance type:
1. If the PQ Engine is already running, set the Running Status to Stop, then
Click Apply changes.
Wait for the WEB page to refresh.
2. Select the desired compliance type, then change Running Status to Running.
3. Click Apply changes, then wait for the WEB page to refresh.
The new compliance type is now activated and running.
4. Verify that the Start Time field has changed.
Continuous compliance statistical information and events are stored in PQZIP
files. In addition, the Embedded Report field further indicates a type of report
that is auto-generated internally in the device's file system. Most compliance
types are not generating any specific report, and therefore, the report type will be
None. However, CREG type of compliance (used in Colombia) also auto-
generates a specific format of report files as defined by the local regulator. The
report files can be found in the Integrated FTP Server on page 102.
The Evaluation Status field provides an overall status of PASS or FAIL of the
entire compliance. Anytime the evaluation period is not complete (typically it is
required 1 week observation), the status will be N/A (Not Available).
The Start Time field shows the last time the compliance engine was restarted.
The entire state and observation window history is stored on the internal non-
volatile memory, so even after powering down, the Engine will continue its
evaluation and maintain all indications. (Start time remains unchanged after de-
vice powered up.)
The Window Time On/Off fields specify how much aggregated time is already
in the observation window. ON refers to the aggregated window time the device
was powered on and OFF refers to the amount of window time the device power
was off. The format presented is [Days: Hours: Minutes: Seconds]. Ideally the
OFF time is all zeroes and the ON time is 7 days (which is the typical full obser-
vation period in most of the compliance types). Once the observation window
reaches 7 days, it will start to slide in steps of 2 hours. Sliding means the infor-
mation from the oldest 2 hours is being dropped, where a new up-to-date 2-hour
interval is being stored.
The Measurement Flag field indicates whether the compliance evaluation is
currently Masked (equals Flagged) or not. Flagged time means a power quality
event such as DIP/SWELL or INTERRUPTION.
