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.

Data

Type

# of Channels

Measurements

Importance

Comments

ATS Status Indicators

Digital Input

3-4

Normal

Test

Emergency

Power Outage

Required

Optional(*)

This data is typically available through digital output signals from the ATS.

NOTE: All statuses for a specific ATS must be recorded by the same monitoring device.

ATS Load Data

3-Phase Power System Measurements

kW tot or kVA tot

Optional(*)

This data needs to be provided by a power monitoring device connected to the ATS load-side feeder.

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 Status Indicators

Digital Input

2-4

Stopped

Running

Starting

Emergency Power Source Available (EPA)

Required

Optional(*)

This data is typically available through digital output signals from the generator.

NOTE: All statuses for a specific generator must be recorded by the same monitoring device.

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

Required

This data needs to be provided by a power monitoring device connected to the generator feeder.

NOTE: Electrical data must be logged with a 1-minute logging interval. Use the generator Running signal to start the logging and the Stopped signal to end the data logging.

Generator Engine Data

Analog Input

2 or more

Engine Temperature

Exhaust Gas Temperature(***)

Battery Voltage

Oil Pressure

Required(**)

Optional(*)

This data is typically available through analog output signals from the generator.

NOTE: Engine data must be logged with a 1-minute logging interval. Use the generator Running signal to start the logging and the Stopped signal to end the data logging.

(*) This data can be included in the report, but it is not required to configure and run the report.
(**) This data is required depending on the generator evaluation method selected. If Engine Temperature is selected, the Engine Temperature measurement is required, otherwise, it is optional. If Exhaust Gas Temperature is selected, the Exhaust Gas Temperature measurement is required, otherwise, it is optional.

(***) Generators with dual exhaust systems require both Exhaust Gas Temperature Left and Exhaust Gas Temperature Right measurements.

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.
