CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING S4 ALARMS/CONTROL
PQM POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 4–53
• 3Φ POSITIVE REAL POWER DEMAND RELAY: Three-phase positive real power demand 
detection can either be disabled or used as an alarm or process control. Set this 
setpoint to OFF if the feature is not required. Selecting ALARM activates the alarm 
relay and displays an alarm message whenever the three-phase real power demand 
level is equalled or exceeded. Selecting AUX1, AUX2 or AUX3 activates the respective 
auxiliary relay with no message displayed. This is intended for process control.
• 3Φ POSITIVE REAL POWER DEMAND LEVEL: When the three-phase real power 
demand exceeds this setpoint, a three-phase positive real power demand alarm or 
process control indication will occur.
• 3Φ POSITIVE REACTIVE POWER DEMAND RELAY: Three-phase positive reactive power 
demand detection can either be disabled or used as an alarm or process control. Set 
to OFF if this feature is not required. Selecting ALARM activates the alarm relay and 
displays an alarm message whenever the three-phase reactive power demand level is 
equalled or exceeded. Selecting AUX1, AUX2, or AUX3 activates the respective 
auxiliary relay with no message displayed. This is intended for process control.
• 3Φ POSITIVE REACTIVE POWER DEMAND LEVEL: When the three-phase reactive 
power demand equals or exceeds this setpoint, a three-phase positive reactive power 
demand alarm or process control indication will occur.
• 3Φ NEGATIVE REAL POWER DEMAND RELAY: Three-phase negative real power 
demand detection can be disabled or used as an alarm or process control. Set to OFF 
if this feature is not required. Selecting ALARM activates the alarm relay and displays 
an alarm message whenever the level of the negative three-phase real power 
demand is equalled or exceeded. Selecting AUX1, AUX2 or AUX3 activates the 
respective auxiliary relay with no message displayed. This is intended for process 
control.
• 3Φ NEGATIVE REAL POWER DEMAND LEVEL: When the three-phase real power 
demand is negative and exceeds this setpoint, a three-phase negative real power 
demand alarm or process control indication will occur.
• 3Φ NEGATIVE REACTIVE POWER DEMAND RELAY: Three-phase negative reactive 
power demand detection can be disabled or used as an alarm or process control. Set 
to OFF if this feature is not required. Selecting ALARM activates the alarm relay and 
displays an alarm message if the level of the negative three-phase reactive power 
demand is equalled or exceeded. Selecting AUX1, AUX2 or AUX3 activates the 
respective auxiliary relay with no message displayed (intended for process control).
• 3Φ NEGATIVE REACTIVE POWER DEMAND LEVEL: If the three-phase reactive power 
demand is negative and equals or exceeds this setpoint, a three-phase negative 
reactive power demand alarm or process control indication will occur.
• 3Φ APPARENT POWER DEMAND RELAY: Three-phase apparent power demand 
detection can be disabled or used as an alarm or process control. Set to OFF if this 
feature is not required. Selecting ALARM activates the alarm relay and displays an 
alarm message if the three-phase apparent power demand level is equalled or 
exceeded. Selecting AUX1, AUX2 or AUX3 activates the respective auxiliary relay with 
no message displayed. This is intended for process control.
• 3Φ APPARENT POWER DEMAND LEVEL: When the three-phase apparent power 
demand equals or exceeds this setpoint, a three-phase apparent power alarm or 
process control indication will occur.
