Setpoint-driven Alarms
Many of the alarm conditions require that you define setpoints. This
includes all alarms for over, under, and phase unbalance alarm
conditions. Other alarm conditions such as digital input transitions
and phase reversals do not require setpoints. For those alarm
conditions that require setpoints, you must define the following
information:
• Pickup Setpoint
• Pickup Delay
• Dropout Setpoint
• Dropout Delay
NOTE: Alarms with both Pickup and Dropout setpoints set to zero are
invalid.
To understand how the meter handles setpoint-driven alarms, see
Figure 6–2 on page 74. Figure 6–1 shows what the actual alarm Log
entries for Figure 6–2 might look like, as displayed by WinPM.Net.
NOTE: The software does not actually display the codes in
parentheses—EV1, EV2, Max1, Max2. These are references to the
codes in Figure 6–2.
