ION 7500 / ION 7600 User’s Guide Using this Guide
Chapter 1 - Introduction Page 19
Using this Guide
This User’s Guide is directed at three types of user: the typical user or operator, the
system administrator, and the advanced user. You might not fit into any of these
groups directly, or perhaps you are both an operator and an administrator. These
classifications are intended to make this guide easier to navigate with respect to
which information is appropriate to your needs.
Typical User or Operator
Most users simply want to display the data provided by the factory-configured
meter. These users want fast access to data through the front panel, ION software,
or a third-party protocol such as Modbus or DNP.
System Administrator or Manager
Some users need to make minor adjustments so that their meters “fit” their power
systems: data recording intervals, demand sub-intervals and other parameters
may need to be set before the meter’s setup is complete. These users will use the
front panel, or ION software to change settings in the device’s operating software.
(ION Enterprise is highly recommended.)
Advanced User or Systems Integrator
Advanced users may want to make use of the flexibility and power provided by
the device’s operating software. These users will need to become familiar with the
ION architecture, and the ION software tools used to customize the device’s
operation.
Before You Can Use this Guide
By the time you are ready to use this guide, your meter should be installed, basic
setup should have been performed, and communications/basic operation should
have been verified. If the unit is not yet installed and operational, refer to the
Installation & Basic Setup Instructions shipped with the meter.
