2.7. Indicators. CHAUVIN ARNOUX PEL106 POWER ENERGY LOGGER

The bottom and top strips provide the following indications:

Icon Description

Indicator of a reversal of phase order or a missing phase (displayed for three-phase distribution networks, and only in measurement mode; see the explanation below)

Data available for recording.

Indication of the power quadrant.

Measurement mode (instantaneous values). See § 4.4.1.

Power and energy mode. See § 4.4.2.

Harmonics mode. See § 4.4.3.

Max. mode See § 4.4.4.

Information mode. See § 3.6.

Configuration mode. See § 3.5.

Table 3

Phase order

The phase order icon is displayed only when the measurement mode is selected.

The phase order is determined every second. If it is not correct, the symbol is displayed.

„ The phase order for the voltage inputs is displayed only when the voltages are displayed.

„ The phase order for the current inputs is displayed only when the currents are displayed.

„ The phase order for the voltage and current inputs is displayed only when the powers are displayed.

„ The source and load must be parameterized using PEL Transfer to define the direction of the energy (imported or exported).

2.7. INDICATORS

Indicators

OL

Colour and function

Green indicator: Mains

Indicator lit: the instrument is connected to mains via the external power supply (optional mains power unit).

Indicator off: the instrument is powered by the battery.

Orang/red indicator: Battery

Indicator off: battery fully charged.

Orange indicator lit: battery charging.

Indicator orange and blinking: battery is recovering from a full discharge.

Indicator red and blinking: battery low (and no mains power).

Red indicator: Phase order

Indicator off: phase rotation order correct.

Indicator blinking: phase rotation order incorrect, i.e., one of the following cases:

„ the phase difference between the phase currents is 30° greater than normal (120° in three-phase and 180° in two-phase).

„ the phase difference between the phase voltages is 10° greater than normal.

„ the phase difference between the currents and voltages of each phase is greater than 60° with respect to 0° (on a load) or 180° (on a source).

Red indicator: Overshoot of the measurement range

Indicator off: no overshoot on the inputs.

Indicator blinking: overshoot on at least one input, a lead is missing or connected to the wrong terminal.
