TECHNICAL NOTE
Power Availability
Power availability is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s 
electronic world. As the use of electronic equipment increases in industry and the 
home, the degree of tolerance for power outages has decreased. In many cases, a 
very short loss or reduction of supply voltage can have a large economic impact.
The ION 8400™, ION 8500™ as well as the ION 7500™ and ION 7600™ meters 
come pre-configured with a power availability framework that provides reliability 
measurements using “number of nines” calculations.

OTE
While the Availability Framework is pre-configured, the operation of this framework requires the correct
configuration of the Sag/Swell module according to your meter’s power supply and operating ranges.
See “Sag/Swell Module Configuration” on page 294. See also the 
ION Programmer’s Reference
 for
detailed descriptions of this module.
