EVI— Power meter 650 records the date/time that the pickup setpoint and time delay were satisfied, and
the maximum value reached (Max1) during the pickup delay period (∆T). Also, the power meter
performs any tasks—forced data log entries, relay output operations—assigned to the event.
EV2— Power meter 650 records the date/time dropout setpoint and time delay were satisfied, and the
maximum value reached (Max2) during the alarm period.
Figure 9-2 shows the event log entries for figure 9-1 displayed by
