2 Program installation
To install PowerInspector on your PC you need Administrator access rights. Please contact your
local Network administrator in case of questions.
CD-ROM installation:
§ Insert the CD-ROM labeled Power Inspector into the PC. If “autostart” function of CD-
ROM is enabled the installation program starts automatically and displays a window to
choose the desired installation. In case installation program doesn’t start open “Explorer”
select your CD-Rom device and select start “’Setup.exe” manually.
§ Select PCC button if you like to install a Power Inspector sever installation or choose RSS
to install a workstation to access an already installed PCC server.
§ Enter the name and company of the registered user, and click Next button.
§ The installation program will prompt you about the installation directory. You can install
Power Inspector in the default directory or create a new one, and click Next button.
§ Choose the folder name in the Start menu where the Power Inspector icons will be located
and click Next button.
§ Confirm the selected options and click Next to start the installation.
Installation program creates defined directories and copies all files needed to run
PowerInspector.
NOTE:
To automatically execute the PIComServer and PINetServer communication servers and the
Polling tool each time the system is restarted, it is recommended to create shortcuts to these
applications in the Startup folder of the Start menu.

PowerInspector Version 3.00 Description and Operating Instruction
3 Power Inspector
3.1 Introduction
Power Inspector offers remote supervision and centralized management of power supply
systems equipped with either SPSC40 or A82 controllers.
Its user-friendly graphical interface provides a quickly and detailed visualization of operating
conditions, analysis of event history and measurement values and the execution of remote
queries and commands on each managed system.
Additionally, the configuration of systems can be checked or updated, optimizing the service
response time and costs.
For better performance, the supervised systems or exchanges can be grouped in e.g.
geographical zones where the operative condition is represented by the color of its icons.
In the presence of an alarm or event, Power Inspector updates the operative state of exchange
and zone icons saving the acquired data into the system database. An automatic e-mail
dispatching can be configured on each exchange in order to forward relevant information to the
service stuff.
The system is provided with different communication interfaces that can be configured in
accordance with the communication type present on each controller (Modem or data network).
PSTN DCN
Power Inspector is developed under a modular and scalable concept. This concept of several
independent applications, each dedicated to a specific task, makes Power Inspector flexible to
the inclusion of future attributes with no need to make important changes in the current system.

Description and Operating Instruction PowerInspector Version 3.00
There are different access levels to Power Inspector. To use these levels, the user must log in,
obtaining the access rights given by the User administrator (see 4, User administrator tool).
The log-in could be performed at start up, from the menu User/Login, or by double clicking the
login panel on the status bar.
By default, the password is equal to the username given by your administrator. Once logged,
this password should be modified using the User/Change password option.
The user action ends performing a log out. In this case, the program continues working in a
Guest level. In this state, Power Inspector shows only the general state of the exchanges and
the system.
The user name is shown in the status bar, together with the log-in date and time.

All messages sent from any exchange are coded. There are separate codes used for messages
and events.
Using the Codes Editor (menu item View/Codes), the user may associate these codes with
explaining texts for faster and easier interpretation. Its also possible to use native language
translations.
Likewise, each event should be associated with a corresponding severity level and equipment
group. If Power Inspector receives codes not yet associated, they will be intended as an
unknown events.
The codes of system events are made of 4 characters. The description and severity of these
events may be also modified.
Remark: The codes are case sensitive!

If this feature is enabled, the A82 informs to a management system each event status change
by means of the delivery of an event trap.
Once a trap is received, the Polling tool verifies its contents and, in case of a valid A82 trap,
starts a polling request to the corresponding controller in order to acquire and refresh the
events.
To configure and enable this feature, please refer to the A82 documentation.

Page 44 of 49 A30050-X6091-A600-1-7618
PowerInspector Version 3.00 Description and Operating Instruction
This type of server is used for the communication with SPSC40 controllers equipped with a
RS232/Ethernet adapter.
For security, the controllers must be connected as client to the communication server. This
configuration prevents a direct access to the controller from an unauthorized application.
All connections should be requested using a communication server as interface.
Each controller accepts only one connection at the same time.
If an application requests a new connection to a SPSC40, the application creates a new TCP/IP
link to the communication server and forwards the address of the controller to connect. Then,
the communication server verifies that requested SPSC40 is not busy and creates a network
connection to the controller.
If the controller is busy or the connection fails, an error message is returned.
