PM8000 Custom screen as default

[olig442]

Hi, I am using the PM8000 (METSEPM8244) for monitoring just one phase. L & N 240V

The summery screen does some weird calculation for 3 phase and shows average values that are not correct.

I fixed this by creating a custom screen with just the values for one phase.

but my issue is that every time the home button is pressed it goes back to summery screen

also when the device powers down it defaults back to the summery screen.

I go into the menu and select custom screen. I wont be around to do this all the time 😉

Hello @olig442 ,

Thanks for that. voltage is reading correct now. 

Having an issue with the current and wondering if I need to implement a similar solution.

I tried something like below but it didn't work

l avg input to \Power Meter Modules\MU Power Meter\MU I a

Hello @olig442 ,

Power meter MU, stands for Metering units, this is the physical signals  to the meter before PT and CT ratios are applied. Likely numbers are off because you would want to see current after CT ratio is applied. This would be "Standard" power meter module (non MU non HS).

If that does not help please let me know.

Hi, I have attached a photo.

so i need to link (I avg) to Amps phase A, think it was called (I a)

Hello @olig442 ,

Correct you need to attach the Ia to I average input. Just be sure you are using the Ia from the correct power meter module.

Thanks for the advice Charles, appreciate it.

No luck in pointing (I avg) to (I a)

keep getting error multiple inputs cannot be linked to the same value

think this was the location

\Power Meter Modules\Power Meter\

What location should i get (I a) from to point to (I avg)

or is there a way to multiply (I avg) value by 2,  looks to be half expected value.

Hello @olig442 ,

Recommend you contact technical support to help work through this one. An Arithmetic module could be used to pass through the Ia value but technically be from a different source.
