Overview
The EnerVista 489 Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes to
relay setpoints:
• In off-line mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay setpoint files for later
download to communicating relays.
• Directly modifying relay setpoints while connected to a communicating relay, then
saving the setpoints when complete.
• Creating/editing setpoint files while connected to a communicating relay, then
saving them to the relay when complete.
Settings files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A settings file
contains data pertaining to the following types of relay settings:
• Device Definition
• Product Setup
• System Setup
• Digital Inputs
• Output Relays
• Voltage Elements
• Power Elements
• RTD Temperature
• Thermal Model
• Monitoring Functions
• Analog Inputs and Outputs
• Relay Testing
• User Memory Map Setting Tool
Factory default values are supplied and can be restored after any changes.
The EnerVista 489 Setup display relay setpoints with the same hierarchy as the front panel
display. For specific details on setpoints, refer to Chapter 5.
Downloading and Saving Setpoints Files

upgrades. Saving setpoints is also highly recommended before making any setpoint
changes or creating new setpoint files.

bar window or the Files window. Use the following procedure to download and save
setpoint files to a local PC.
