Alarms and monitoring

can set a current alarm threshold that, once exceeded, will cause the PM PDU to sound an alarm or
send a notification message, or both.
LED display
The PM PDU has an LED that displays aggregate current, phase/bank current, outlet current or
temperature. You can use the Function 1 button to switch the type of display and use the Function 2
button to cycle through different targets. Pressing and holding any function button for two seconds
will reset the overcurrent protection.
