14.3. System Setup: Location
String Status > Setup|System|Location
Before completing the Location dialog box, confirm the correct customer is selected on the
Customer box.
Figure 26. System Setup - Location
CAUTION: Clicking the Delete button deletes all information for the displayed location. All
batteries and strings set up for the location will be lost.
Location Name (required) - Type the name and address where the monitor is installed.
Location, battery, and string names are used with each other to identify the strings and
hardware to which the monitor is connected.
Note: To change the location name after monitor setup, use these Setup|System dialog boxes.
If database names do not match names in the monitor, connection fails. Blank spaces or
hyphens can affect a name.
Note: You cannot have two identical location names under the same customer name.
Selecting different locations changes the available batteries on the Battery dialog box. This
location name must match the location name in the database of the connecting computer.
Location Contact - Type the name and contact information of the person at the monitor
location responsible for the battery system. This name may be used for reports faxed using
Setup|System|Reporting.
Customer (or alternate field name) - Normally, this field is not changed. To move the
location name and related battery and string setup data to a different customer, select a name
from the drop-down list. This is useful where many locations are under a few customers. By
adding customer names (or regions, etc.), the data becomes more manageable.
When finished, click Save or click the next (Battery) tab.
