I.D. # Name Description
7 BREAKER ALARM 3
Breaker Alarm 3 threshold (SA-BKR1 setting)
exceeded.
8
P DEMAND ALARM ∗
Phase demand.
9
N DEMAND ALARM ∗
Neutral unbalance demand.
10
Q DEMAND ALARM ∗
Negative-sequence unbalance demand.
11
GROUP OVERRIDE ∗
Setting group control logic override.
12 SYS I/O ALARM
Excessive delay in HMI or serial communication
operation.
13 COMM ERROR ALARM Communication failure.
14
CLOCK ERROR ∗
Real-time clock not set.
15 uP RESET ALARM Microprocessor has been reset.
16 SETTINGS CHANGE Setting change made by user.
17 EE NON FATAL ERROR EEPROM nonfatal recoverable error.
18
OUTPUT OVERRIDE ∗
One or more output contacts have logic override
condition.
19 LOSS OF IRIGB Loss of IRIG synchronization.
20
SGC ACTIVE ∗
Active setting group changed.
21
VO13_LABEL ∗
VO13 logic is TRUE (user programmable logic alarm).
22
VO14_LABEL ∗
VO14 logic is TRUE (user programmable logic alarm).
23
VO15_LABEL ∗
VO15 logic is TRUE (user programmable logic alarm).
24 FAULT REPORT TIMEOUT
TRUE if fault event trigger lasts longer than 60
seconds.
25 LOGIC = NONE ALARM Active Logic=NONE.
26
VAR DEMAND ALARM ∗
Var demand maximum exceeded.
27
WATT DEMAND ALARM ∗
Watt demand maximum exceeded.
28
FREQ OUT OF RANGE ∗
Frequency out of range.
29 CHANGES LOST ALARM Password access lost.
30
60FL ALARM ∗
One or more phases of voltage lost.
31 V/Hz above Alarm Threshold Trips at settable percentage of the pickup level.
∗ Alarms with an asterisk are non-latching. A non-latching alarm clears itself automatically when the alarm
condition goes away. All other alarms are latching and must be manually reset by using the HMI Reset
button or the RA=0 command.
Any programmable alarm can also be used in programmable logic expressions without being
programmed to be reported by the programmable alarm reporting function. The ALMLGC variable is
provided for this purpose. Programmable alarm variables can be masked to drive BESTlogic variable
ALMLGC by using the SA-LGC command.
Programming Alarm Priorities
Alarm settings include Major, Minor, and Logic alarm priorities, Demand alarm points, and the Breaker
alarm points. Programming details for Demand alarm points is available in the Demand Functions
subsection. Refer to the Breaker Monitoring subsection for details about programming Breaker alarm
points. Major, Minor, and Logic programmable alarm settings are made using BESTCOMS. To select
