Alarm management
7.1 Signalling and alarm warning
With the sentinel Energy trip unit, there are 9 types of alarms:
- Overload prealarm PTA
- Overload alarm > Ir
- Trip alarms
- Custom alarms (configurable)
- Advanced protection alarms
- Voltage Dip and Swell monitoring alarms
- System alarms
- Maintenance alarm
- Low or missing back-up battery alarm
The sentinel Energy alarms follow a colour code display according to their severity.
- Red: alarm associated with a potentially serious event of high severity, causing the circuit
breaker to trip, before an imminent tripping or indicating a serious failure in the circuit breaker
resulting in it being unable to perform its protection functions.
- Orange: alarm associated with an event of medium to low severity following an operational
incident or an incident in the electrical installation not required the circuit breaker to be
tripped.
The following alarms are signalled on the sentinel Energy display by an icon in the notification
area:
- Overload prealarm PTA
- Overload alarm > Ir
- Maintenance alarm
- Low or missing back-up battery alarm
