CONFIGURING ALARMS IN OBVIUS ALLY CONFIGURATION CONSOLE
The AcquiSuite Ally power meter has the ability to set alarms for over and under conditions for voltage
and current on any meter channel.
CONFIGURATION INPUT METHODS
Obvius Ally Configuration Console uses dynamic entry for the specification of Alarm settings. Whichever
text entry field is selected becomes the forcing condition and the other related fields are updated by
calculation to reflect a consistent set of conditions. The text entry fields in grey are “configuration aids”
and are NOT retained by the meter. Only the fields with a black background are stored in the meters
memory or in configuration files.
NOMINAL VALUES
Entering alarm thresholds based on “percent of nominal” values is helpful when alarm conditions are
desired to be centered around electrical components or industry standard conditions. For example, an
over current alarm may be set to 80% of an installed circuit breaker to alert when that breaker exceeds
NEC recommendations.
ABSOLUTE VALUES
Entering alarms based on absolute value is a matter of entering the triggering values directly in the
register fields (black background).
