Planning for Field Installation
PowerScout HD
PLANNING FOR FIELD INSTALLATION
Project Manager Aspects
Meter installation often includes coordination between individuals or groups of people with different
responsibilities. Spend a few minutes considering who will be executing each portion of the installation
and what tools are needed at each stage. Things to consider include determining how to communicate
with the meter, setting address configuration, installing ViewPoint HD, access to PIN numbers, etc. The
more tasks completed before installation the fewer tasks will be needed in the field, where most
mistakes happen. The following section gives an overview of typical process activities followed by details
in the next section.
CONFIGURATION & DATA VIEWING OPTIONS
The PowerScout HD meter has three methods for configuration and data viewing. The most powerful
interface is ViewPoint HD, a Microsoft Windows application that runs on PCs or Tablets. ViewPoint HD is
encouraged for complex installations and is required for configuring advanced functions, like alarms. The
second interface is the PSHD Web App and is intended for smart phones or tablets that can connect to
the meter over USB or Ethernet. The third interface is the optional LCD user interface and is intended for
intermittent end-user observation and is restricted in capability. The RTU can also be used for
configuration if communication settings are already established. The feature set of each interface is
summarized next.
