Supported measurements and devices

The reports in the Backup Power Module support the measurements and devices listed in the following table". For Generator Test EPPS Report related measurement and device information see Generator Test EPSS Report measurements and devices (below).

Reports	Input Measurements	Suitable Devices
Generator Activity Report	- Generator Status Indicators:** Stopped, Running - Transfer Switch Status Indicators: Normal, Test, Emergency	Any device that can provide digital input measurements.
Generator Battery Health Report/Export	- Generator Status Indicators:** Stopped, Running - Battery Voltage Signature (voltage signature is measured as V4 waveform capture)* - Digital signal from the generator crank relay to trigger the waveform capture	ION9000/7650/7550
Generator Load Summary Report	- Generator Status Indicators:** Stopped, Running - Generator Electrical Measurements: Vln avg; Vll avg; I avg; kW tot, kVA tot, PF sign tot, Freq	ION 9000/7650/7550, PM 8000
UPS Auto Test Report	- Critical Operation status reading from the UPS	MGE Galaxy 5500 UPS Galaxy VM UPS Galaxy VX UPS Galaxy VS UPS
UPS Battery Health Report	- Battery Voltage Signature (voltage signature is measured as V4 waveform capture)* - Vln a of the UPS output, to trigger the waveform capture	ION9000/7650/7550

* A V4 input is required on the monitoring device.
** The monitoring devices must have digital inputs to measure these parameters.

Generator Test EPSS Report measurements and devices

The Generator Test EPSS Report requires specific generator and ATS data. Depending on the EPSS configuration and type of equipment used, this data can be provided by one or more monitoring devices, and the ATS itself.

The following table shows the monitoring device input requirements, per ATS and generator:

NOTE: ATS measurements are only required for EPSS reporting. For general generator test reporting, ATS measurements are not required.

Measurement	Type	Channels/Msrmnts	Comments
ATS Status	Digital Input(*)	3-4	Three inputs for required statuses (Normal, Test, Emergency). One input for optional status (Power Outage). NOTE: When one of the ATS statuses changes, all the ATS statuses must be logged by the same device, with the same timestamp.
Generator Status	Digital Input	2-4	Two inputs for required statuses (Stopped, Running). Two inputs for optional status (Starting, EPA). NOTE: When one of the generator statuses changes, all the generator statuses must be logged by the same device, with the same timestamp.
Generator Engine Data	Analog Input	2 or more	Two inputs for required measurements (Engine Temp, Exhaust Temp). () One or more inputs for optional measurements (Oil Pressure, Battery Voltage). NOTE:** Engine data must be logged with a 1-minute logging interval. Use the generator Run signal to start the logging and the Stop signal to end the data logging.
ATS Load Data	3-Phase Power System Measurements(*)	kW tot or kVA tot	One power monitoring device per ATS. NOTE: Load data must be logged with a 1-minute logging interval. Use the ATS Test and Emergency signals to start the logging and the Normal signal to end the data logging.
Generator Electrical Data	3-Phase Power System Measurements	Vln a,b,c,avg; Vll ab, bc,ca,avg I a,b,c,avg; kW tot; kVA tot; PF sign tot; Frequency	One power monitoring device per generator. NOTE: Electrical data must be logged with a 1-minute logging interval. Use the generator Run signal to start the logging and the Stop signal to end the data logging.

(*) The ASCO 4000 and ASCO 7000 ATS can provide logging of ATS status and load measurements. These ATS types are natively supported in PME. Depending on the ATS configuration, no external ATS status and load measurements might be required if these ATS types are used.
(**) Generators with dual exhaust systems require 3 inputs (Engine Temp, Exhaust Gas Left, Exhaust Gas Right).

You can use any monitoring device for this application that meets the measurement requirements and that is supported in PME.

Below is a list of recommended devices:

ION 9000/7650/7550, PM8000 (for electrical, status, and analog measurements)
ION 7550RTU, SER 2408, SER 3200 (for status measurements only)
ASCO 4000/7000 ATS (as automatic transfer switch)

NOTE: The ASCO 4000 and ASCO 7000 ATS can provide logging of ATS status and load measurements. These ATS types are natively supported in PME. Depending on the ATS configuration, no external ATS status and load measurements might be required if these ATS types are used.
