inaccurate data results

● Do not incorrectly configure the software or the devices.
● Do not base your maintenance or service actions solely on messages and information displayed by the software.
● Do not rely solely on software messages and reports to determine if the system is functioning correctly or meeting all applicable standards and requirements.
● Consider the implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of communications links.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, equipment damage, or permanent loss of data.

 

To configure the Generator Activity Report:

  1. Set up the monitoring device that records the generator electrical data in PME. See Supported measurements and devices for details on which measurements are required.
  2. Create a Generator in the Generator Performance Configuration Tool with EPSS Test Module, and define, at a minimum, the following fields for this Generator:

    • Name - Enter a name for the generator.
    • Electrical Data - Select the Source of the electrical measurement data for the generator. Enter the generator Nameplate Rating and select the Unit.
    • Status Measurements - Select the Source of the generator Status Measurements, and the measurements used to indicate the Running and Stopped states.

  3. Create a Transfer Switch in the Generator Performance Configuration Tool with EPSS Test Module, and define, at a minimum, the following fields for this transfer switch:

    • Name - Enter a name for the transfer switch.
    • Status Measurements - Select the Source of the transfer switch Status Measurements, and the measurements used to indicate the Normal, Test, and Emergency states.

    NOTE: The transfer switch states are required for the Run Reason information in the report.

  4. (Optional) Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add additional generators and transfer switches.
  5. Create a Group in the Generator Performance Configuration Tool with EPSS Test Module, and define, at a minimum, the following fields for this Group:

    • Name - Enter a name for the group.
    • Generators - Select the Generators you created in step 2.
    • Transfer Switches - Select the Transfer Switches you created in step 3.

  6. Open the report template in the Reports Web Application, set the report input parameters, and generate the report.

NOTE: The groups you create with the Generator Performance Configuration Tool are available for selection as inputs to the Generator Activity Report. All Generators that are defined in a group are included in the report when that group is selected. You have the option to exclude generators in a group from a report by selecting this option in the report inputs section.
