Configuring the PM710 and Configuring Threshold Settings
Note: All settings are configured on a per port basis. If you disconnect a
PM710 from one EMX port and connect it to another, you must
reconfigure the settings. However, if you disconnect a PM710 from a port
and then plug it back in to the same port, the already configured settings
still apply.
To configure the PM710:
1. Connect the PM710 sensor to EMX if it is not already connected.
2. Pin the auxiliary port to the PM710.
3. If the Auxiliary Ports folder is not expanded, expand it to show all
devices connected to the RS-485 ports.
4. Click the desired sensor in the EMX Explorer pane. The page
specific to that sensor opens in the right pane.
5. Click Setup in the Settings section. The Setup dialog opens.
6. Enter a name for the sensor in the Name field.
7. Leave the device address, line speed and parity as is so it matches
the PM710 settings.
8. Click OK.
9. Configure the threshold settings if needed. Click on Thresholds at
the bottom right of the Sensors section or Power Quality section of
the page. The Thresholds dialog opens and displays the sensor
readings gathered by EMX.
10. Select a reading and then click Edit, or double click on a reading to
open its corresponding Threshold dialog.
11. Check the checkboxes next to the readings you want to set
thresholds for, then edit the thresholds as needed. Click OK to save
the changes.
Resetting the PM710 Minimum and Maximum Values
The PM710 saves readings when they reach their highest and lowest
value. The highest value and lowest value are the minimum and
maximum values, which can be reset as needed. Review your PM710
documentation for additional information.
To reset the PM710 minimum and maximum values:
1. If the Auxiliary Ports folder is not expanded, expand it to show all
devices connected to the RS-485 ports.
2. Click the desired sensor in the EMX Explorer pane. The page
specific to that sensor opens in the right pane.
