Multilin 369 Motor Management Relay Firmware Version 3.62:

E Enhanced Energy Accumulation Display

With previous firmware versions of the Multilin 369 Motor Management Relay (Firmware versions 3.61
and earlier), the accumulated energy value shown on the front display would either be the MWh or KWh
part of the accumulated energy value. For example, an energy value of 122.889 MWh would be
displayed as 122 MWh when MWh is selected as display preference for energy or 889 KWh when KWh
was the selected as display preference for energy.

Firmware version 3.62 enhances this accumulated energy display by showing both the MWh and KWh
values together on the front panel display. Therefore, using the above example, the Multilin 369 front
panel display will now show 122.889 MWh when MWh is the selected as display preference for energy or
122889 KWh when KWh is the selected as display preference for energy

Multilin EnerVista 369 Setup Software Version 4.23:

E Enhanced Support for Factory Installed Options

In previous versions of the Multilin 369 Setup Software (versions 4.21 and prior), if a customer ordered
and/or factory installed modification (“MOD”) was installed in the device, then the following settings will be
displayed as read only. In addition, these settings would not be written to the device while writing an offline
settings file to an online device. The affected settings are as follows:
“Ground CT Type” in “Current Transformer” screen
“Trip Relay Operation” in “Local Output Relays” screen
“Aux1 Relay Operation” in “Local Output Relays” screen
“Aux2 Relay Operation” in “Local Output Relays” screen
“Alarm Relay Operation“ in “Local Output Relays” screen
Multilin EnerVista 369 setup software version 4.23 has been enhanced to allow read or write of the
above mentioned settings. These settings will also be written to the device while writing an offline
settings file to an online device.

E Improved User Map Screens

In previous versions of the Multilin EnerVista 369 Setup Software (versions 4.21 and prior), if the
‘usermap’ was saved then re-opened through the Usermap Screen, data would be arranged incorrectly,
compared to how it was originally entered.
Version 4.23 of the Multilin EnerVista 369 Setup Software corrects this issue.
