- Improvements to many drawings and formula images. - Improved and updated device user interface display images. - AQ-P215 Functions included list Added: Voltage memory, running hour counter, programmable control switch and mA output control. - Changed disturbance recorder maximum digital channel amount from 32 to 95.
Revision 2.09 Date 14.3.2023 - Updated the Arcteq logo on the cover page and refined the manual's visual look. - Added the "Safety information" chapter and changed the notes throughout the document accordingly. - Changed the "IED user interface" chapter's title to "Device user interface" and replaced all 'IED' terms with 'device' or 'unit'.
Version: 2.09 2 General The AQ-P215 power monitoring unit is a member of the AQ 200 product line. The hardware and software are modular: the hardware modules are assembled and configured according to the application's I/O requirements and the software determines the available functions. This manual describes the specific application of the AQ-P215 power monitoring unit.
Home button switches between the quick display carousel and the main display with the six (6) main configuration menus. The AQ-P215 power monitoring device has the following six configuration menus: General, PMU functions , Control, Communication , Measurements and Monitoring . You can switch between these menus by using the four navigational arrow keys and confirming your selection with the E E nt nter er button in the middle.

FFT calculation always has a whole power cycle in the buffer. The measurement accuracy is further improved by Arcteq's patented calibration algorithms that calibrate the analog channels against eight (8) system frequency points for both magnitude and angle.

The recorder is configured by using the setting tool software or relay HMI, and the results are analyzed with the AQviewer software (is automatically downloaded and installed with AQtivate). Registered users can download the latest tools from the Arcteq website (arcteq.fi./downloads/).
Version: 2.09 The user can also launch the AQviewer software from the Disturbance recorder menu. AQviewer software instructions can be found in AQtivate 200 Instruction manual (arcteq.fi./downloads/). Events The disturbance recorder function (abbreviated "DR" in event block names) generates events and registers from the status changes of the function: the recorder generates an event each time it is triggered (manually or by dedicated signals).
5.3 Communication protocols 5.3.1 Fast Modbus/TCP The fast Modbus/TCP is available as a part of the PMU functionality in the AQ-P215 model. The fast Modbus/TCP is designed to respond quickly to measured data, supporting only 64 configurable holding registers. Only Function code 3 ("Read holding registers") is supported. Other restrictions are described below.
AQ-25x frame units support both Edition 1 and 2 of IEC 61850. The following services are supported by IEC 61850 in Arcteq devices: • Up to six data sets (predefined data sets can be edited with the IEC 61850 tool in AQtivate) •...
→ AQ 200 series → Resources). 5.3.2.1 GOOSE Arcteq relays support both GOOSE publisher and GOOSE subscriber. GOOSE subscriber is enabled with the "GOOSE subscriber enable" parameter at Communication → Protocols → IEC 61850/ GOOSE. The GOOSE inputs are configured using either the local HMI or the AQtivate software.

In field upgrades, therefore, add-on modules must be ordered from Arcteq Relays Ltd. or its representative who can then provide the module with its corresponding unlocking code to allow the device to operate correctly once the hardware configuration has been upgraded.
