Advanced Alarm Groups
In addition to the basic alarm groups (see “Basic Alarm Groups” on
page 72) the following advanced alarm groups are available.
• Boolean—Boolean alarms use Boolean logic to combine up to
four enabled alarms. You can choose from the Boolean logic
operands: AND
, NAND, OR, NOR, or XOR to combine your
alarms. Up to 10 alarms can be set up in this group.
• Disturbance (ACCESS 9360)—Disturbance alarms have a
detection rate of half a cycle and are useful for detecting voltage
sags and swells. The meter comes configured with 12 default
voltage sag and swell alarms; current sag and swell alarms are
available by configuring custom alarms. Up to 12 disturbance
alarms can be set up in this group. For more information about
disturbance monitoring, see Chapter 10—Disturbance
Monitoring (ACCESS 9360) on page107.
• Custom—The meter has many pre-defined alarms, but you can
also set up your own custom alarms using WinPM.Net. For
example, you may need to alarm on a sag condition for current A.
To create this type of custom alarm:
1. Select the appropriate alarm group (Disturbance in this case).
2. Delete any of the default alarms you are not using from the
disturbance alarms group (for example, Sag Vbc). The Add
button should be available now.
3. Click Add, then select Disturbance, Sag, and Current A.
4. Give the alarm a name.
5. Save the custom alarm.
After creating a custom alarm, you can configure it by applying
priorities, setting pickups and dropouts (if applicable), and so
forth.
WinPM.Net can be used to configure any of the advanced alarm
types within the ACCESS 9340/9360 meter, but the meter display
cannot be used. Also, use WinPM.Net to delete an alarm and create
a new alarm for evaluating other metered quantities.
