Restoring the Factory Configuration
If you have made changes to the default functionality and want to return to the
factory configuration, you can re-initialize the factory configuration in the meter
through Designer. The basic setup of the device can be retained, so the meter does
not need to be taken out of service for a long period of time.
NOTE
If you restore the factory configuration, all custom features you created are lost.
To restore the factory configuration:
1. Display the meter’s main Configuration screen in Designer.
2. Choose Select All from the Edit menu, then press Delete on your keyboard.
The confirmation dialog box appears explaining that some modules will not be deleted
(core modules cannot be deleted — scroll down in the dialog to see that various
standard modules will be deleted).
3. Click OK on the confirmation dialog box.
After a brief wait the modules are deleted, and the main meter Configuration screen is
blank except for the Frameworks folder in the Advanced Setup area. (The Frameworks
folder contains the folder of Core modules which cannot be deleted.)
4. Choose Select All from the Edit menu to select the Frameworks folder. This
selects all subfolders and modules within the folder.
5. In the Edit menu, choose Paste from Framework, then select the appropriate
.fwn file from the folder \ION Enterprise\config\fmwk\nd\. Click OK.
The Factory module’s Default Template register tells you the filename for the default
factory framework. (For details about framework files, contact Technical Services or
visit the Power Measurement web site’s technical support area at http://
www.pwrm.com/Support.)
6. Click Open. The Paste Summary window appears.
7. Click on the first module, scroll down to the last module, hold the Shift key and
click on the last module. This selects all of the modules.
8. While holding the Shift key, click on the check box to the left of the module name
so you see a lock icon with a green checkmark.
CAUTION
Persistent modules can be overwritten in Designer. When pasting a default framework onto a meter, use
lock-paste on the Persistent modules, not free-paste. A list of Persistent modules is available on the Library
page of Power Measurement's website, under "ION Device Templates".
9. Check “Maintain external inputs” and click OK on the confirmation dialog box.
A message appears indicating that Designer is pasting modules. All modules are
selected when the paste is complete. Click anywhere in the background of the
node diagram to deselect all of the modules.
