While in Test Mode, the Test Pulse LED pulses. The value of the pulse (the pulse
factor) is shown in the table in 3.1.1: Test Pulse LEDs, on page 3-2. The meter quan-
tity assigned to the Test Pulse LED changes as the user moves from one test screen to
another. The assigned values are defined in the Pulse Source column of the table
above.
Individual quadrant tests for VAR-hours can be completed by proper test design. To
test strictly VAR-hours, limit the test parameters to one quadrant during testing.
In the event of a power outage, data for Test Mode Energy, Demand and Power Factor
is not saved. Upon power up, the meter returns to Normal Mode. The test data is lost
and all registers are restored to their pretest values.
While in Test Mode, the IR Port and Communications Port 1 are available for
communication with the meter.
While in Test Mode the following actions are not permitted:
• Updating programmable settings.
• Loading new Firmware.
• Performing a soft reset of the meter.
• Updating TOU settings.
• Updating DNP settings.
• Enabling/Disabling the Sealing Switch.
• Performing Energy Preset.
• Performing log/Demand/Energy/Pulse Accumulators resets.
In addition, Line Sync time Synchronization is disabled during Test Mode.
