Rev. 2 - 3/2007 Page 1

1 INTRODUCTION

The function of Eaton Corporation’s PEM Handheld Software is to monitor and control a TVSS Power Event Monitor (PEM) using a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) running the Microsoft® Windows Mobile operating system along with Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 or greater. Functional testing of this software was completed using DELL® and HP® PDAs running Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.

The PEM Handheld Software gives a user the following abilities: • Voltage Monitoring • Event Count Display • Event Retrieval • PEM Configuration

It is assumed that users are familiar with the operation their particular PDAs, including: general setup and configuration; downloading and copying files from a personal computer to the PDA using ActiveSync, or similar program; and installing software on the PDA in the form of *.CAB files.

Use this manual in conjunction with PEM Instruction Manual IM01005003E.

2 INSTALLATION

1. Download the latest version of the PEM Handheld Software from Eaton Corporation’s Website http://www.itvss.com onto your personal computer. Use the search term “PEM Handheld Software” to locate the file on the Website. Note that the downloaded software will be in the form of a *.CAB file.

2. Using the file transfer software supplied with the PDA (e.g., Microsoft Active Sync), copy the *.CAB file from your personal computer to File Explorer / My Documents on your PDA.

3. Before installing the PEM Handheld Software, check that Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 or greater is installed on the PDA. If the PEM Handheld Software is installed with an older version of .NET Compact Framework, then the following error message will appear:

This application (Eaton PEM PDA Interface.exe) requires a newer version of the Microsoft® .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device.

You can check if .NET Compact Framework is installed on your PDA by tapping Start > Settings > System > Remove Programs to display a list of installed programs. If installed, Microsoft .NET CF 2.0 will appear in the list.

4 MODES

The PEM Handheld Software supports two modes, View and Config under the Mode menu. After a connection has been made, the software automatically switches in the View mode. To change modes, first tap the Mode menu item and then tap either View or Config.

4.1 View mode

The View mode consists of five tabbed pages that allow the user to monitor voltages, retrieve and save history log data, and view the number and type of events that have occurred.

4.1.1 Voltages

The Voltages page displays the PEM’s current line frequency along with its minimum and maximum values; line-to-line; line-to-line average; line-to-neutral; line-to-neutral average; and neutral-to-ground voltages. The voltages displayed, however, depend on the type of system being monitored—see table above. The example Voltages page above shows the measured voltages of a PEM Model 3Y101 as it monitors a 120 volt, Wye system.

4.1.2 History Log

The History Log page allows the user to retrieve, view, and save History Log events that have been recorded by the PEM.

When first displayed, this page shows the total number of events that have been recorded. In the example to the left, the Total Events box shows that 3 events have occurred numbered 0 thru 2.

To retrieve the History Log events, first enter the range of events to be retrieved by entering those values in the Start Event and End Event boxes (up to 5,000 events can be stored in the PEM); and then tapping the Retrieve button. The PDA will download the selected range of History Log events and display the data in the Event Data box.

To save the downloaded event data to a file, tap the File > Save History Log menu item to display the Save As page. The event data will be saved in an ASCII comma separated variable (CSV) type of file that can later be downloaded to a personal computer and viewed in most spreadsheet programs where the data can be viewed for analysis.

The Save As page allows the user to specify the following information:

• Name: Type in the name of the file to be saved (Default is history).

• Folder: Select the file location (Default is My Documents).

• Type: Select the File Type (Currently only CSV is supported).

• Location: – Select the Memory location (Default is Main memory).


Rev. 2 - 3/2007 Page 7

After the history log has been saved, the “Clear Display and PEM History Log?” dialog box will appear. Tap No to retain the history log in the PEM’s memory, or tap Yes to clear both the display and the PEM’s History Log of all events.

Note that by not clearing the history log, multiple retrievals can be performed. This allows the user to retrieve several ranges of History Log data for storage under different file names (e.g., Events 0000-0100, Events 0101-0200, Events 0201-0300, etc.).

Tip: To clear the Event Data page, first tap Mode > Config, and then return to the History Log page by tapping Mode > View > History Log.

The following spreadsheet shows a typical history log file as viewed in Microsoft Excel:
