and predicted demand. It can be configured to
measure demand on any instantaneous value and
can record peak (maximum) and minimum
demand with accurate date and time stamps to
the second. Peak demand registers can be reset
manually (password protected) or logged and
reset automatically on a programmed schedule.

Instantaneous
The ION 7700 offers a comprehensive array of
instantaneous (real-time) measurements,
including a choice of high accuracy, 1 second or
high-speed, 1 cycle measurements, including
true RMS, per phase and total for:
Voltage
Current

Disturbance Detection
High-speed setpoint capabilities allow reliable
detection and recording of events, sequence-of-
events, and alarm conditions, including
magnitude, duration and equipment status.
Internal waveform recorders are completely
configurable and can record all voltage and
current inputs simultaneously. Control the
number of pre-event and post-event cycles
recorded. Trigger waveform recording with
events, external inputs, or manual control.
Sag/Swell Detection
Monitor and record disturbances caused by poor
power quality.
Magnitude and duration data suitable for
plotting on voltage tolerance curves
Determine the amount of excess or deficient
energy during the disturbance
Per phase triggers for waveform recording or
control operations

phase & magnitude for voltage & current inputs.
Identify harmful voltage & current unbalances in
equipment before they cause damage.
Transient Capture
Detect and record sub-cycle transients as
short as 130ms @60Hz (156ms @50Hz)
Analyze transients by plotting them on a
voltage tolerance (e.g. CBEMA) curve using
PC-based ION ENTERPRISE software
Data & Event Recording
The meter can be equipped with up to 4 MB of
meter-based nonvolatile memory, ensuring
important data is never lost, even in the event of
communication or power loss.
Load Profiling
The ION 7700 incorporates 320 channels via 20
data recorders. Channel assignments are
configurable for historical trend recording of
energy, demand, voltage, current, power quality,
or any other measured parameter. Trigger
recorders on a time interval basis, a calendar
schedule, by alarm/event condition, or manually.
High-Speed Data Recording
Use high-speed burst recording (as fast as 1-
cycle intervals) to store detailed characteristics of
disturbances or outages. Trigger recording by a
user-defined setpoint, or from external
equipment. Gated recording logs data only
during the critical event so that memory is
conserved.
Coincident Min/Max Recording
Log the values of key parameters or equipment
conditions coincident with an extreme condition,
complete with date/time stamping. For example,
record all feeder voltages and currents at the
moment a peak demand condition occurs.
Power Quality Recording
Use ION ENTERPRISE software to automatically
upload disturbance waveforms, sag/swell data,
and harmonic distortion measurements from the
meter to the secure database for detailed visual
analysis at your workstation.
Time Synchronization and GPS
A real-time clock allows internal events and data
records to be date-stamped and time-stamped to
millisecond resolution. The clock can be
synchronized to either of t
