4–48 PQM POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
S4 ALARMS/CONTROL CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING
Selecting auxiliary relay will cause the auxiliary relay to activate for a set level of 
positive real power but no message will be displayed. This is intended for process 
control.
• POSITIVE REAL POWER LEVEL: When the three phase real power equals or exceeds 
the level set by this setpoint, an excess positive real power condition will occur.
• POSITIVE REAL POWER DELAY: If the positive real power equals or exceeds the 
POSITIVE REAL POWER LEVEL setpoint value for the time delay programmed in this 
setpoint, an excessive positive real power condition will occur.
• NEGATIVE REAL POWER RELAY: Negative real power level detection can either be 
disabled, used as an alarm or as a process control. Set this setpoint to off if the feature 
is not required. Selecting alarm relay will cause the alarm relay to activate and display 
an alarm message whenever a negative real power level exceeds the selected level. 
Selecting auxiliary relay will cause the auxiliary relay to activate for a set level of 
negative real power but no message will be displayed. This is intended for process 
control.
• NEGATIVE REAL POWER LEVEL: When the three phase real power equals or exceeds 
the level set by this setpoint, an excess negative real power condition will occur.
• NEGATIVE REAL POWER DELAY: If the negative real power equals or exceeds the 
NEGATIVE REAL POWER LEVEL setpoint value for the time delay programmed in this 
setpoint, an excessive negative real power condition will occur.
• POSITIVE REACTIVE POWER RELAY: Positive reactive power level detection can either 
be disabled, used as an alarm or as a process control. Set this setpoint to off if the 
feature is not required. Selecting alarm relay will cause the alarm relay to activate and 
display an alarm message whenever a positive reactive power level exceeds the 
selected level. Selecting auxiliary relay will cause the auxiliary relay to activate for a 
set level of positive reactive power but no message will be displayed. This is intended 
for process control.
• POSITIVE REACTIVE POWER LEVEL: When the three phase reactive power equals or 
exceeds the level set by this setpoint, an excess positive reactive power condition will 
occur. 
• POSITIVE REACTIVE POWER DELAY: If the positive reactive power equals or exceeds 
the 
POSITIVE REACTIVE POWER LEVEL setpoint value for the time delay 
programmed in this setpoint, an excessive positive reactive power condition will occur.
• NEGATIVE REACTIVE POWER RELAY: Negative reactive power level detection can 
either be disabled, used as an alarm or as a process control. Set this setpoint to off if 
the feature is not required. Selecting alarm relay will cause the alarm relay to activate 
and display an alarm message whenever a negative reactive power level exceeds the 
selected level. Selecting auxiliary relay will cause the auxiliary relay to activate for a 
set level of negative reactive power but no message will be displayed. This is intended 
for process control.
• NEGATIVE REACTIVE POWER LEVEL: When the three phase reactive power equals or 
exceeds the level set by this setpoint, an excess negative reactive power condition will 
occur. 
• NEGATIVE REACTIVE POWER DELAY: If the negative reactive power equals or exceeds 
the 
NEGATIVE REACTIVE POWER LEVEL setpoint value for the time delay
