QUICK START GUIDE
Programming the Meter
VIM1 parameters like shunt size and number of load buses are preconfigured when it is factory installed in a BDFB/
BDCBB or Micro-BDFB. Only customer specific preferences need to be adjusted in the field. As a replacement or
mete upgrade, the factory default settings may need to be adjusted for the application. Listed below are the
configurable parameters and their associated factory defaults available through the front panel. Following the
table are the typical items that need to be configured or verified in a retrofit or replacement application.
Allows the integrated audible alarm to be Enabled or Disabled. Factory default is Disabled.
Used by system controller to uniquely identify VIM1 device when connected for remote management. Device canbe
configured from 1-16.
Allows the display contrast to be adjusted for the local ambient lighting. Adjustable from 0-100% in 1% increments.
Factory default is 50%.
Displays the version of the application code running in the meter in the format (vX.Y). Version 1.5 is the latest as of this
printing.
Number Of Loads

Load ID Format
First Load (location)

Combined Load
Indicates if the load is available or in use. Allowable configurations are "installed" and "not installed". "Installed" loads
Load Available
imply that the load is in use. "Not Installed" loads imply that the load may be present, but it is not in use. Information
(A1-A4;B1- B4)
obtained from the load should not be relevant. Factor default is set to be "installed".
The Power Loss (PL) alarm is triggered upon loss of the primary DC or when the individual's panels' DC input has
reached the configured low voltage threshold. This Power Loss voltage threshold is configurable between 40.00-
Load Power Loss
60.00V for 48V systems and 20.00-30.00V for 24V systems. Factory defaults for these thresholds are 40.00V and
20.00V, respectively.
