VOLTCRAFT SEM5000 - Overload Alarm Setup

79
9.8 Overload alarm
If a set limit value is exceeded, the energy logger sounds an
alarm, LED ring ashes red and OVERLOAD ashes on the dis-
play. Press any button to stop the alarm. OVERLOAD and red
light will continue to ash.
This function not only protects the energy logger or a connected
load but also signals when the load has exceeded the set limit
during operation. You do not have to constantly monitor the dis-
play.
A power value (W) and a current value (A) can serve as a limit. To
disable the function, set “0” for either of the limits.
With both limits set (e.g. 1000 W and 2 A), the energy logger trig-
gers an alarm when the lower of the two limits is exceeded (in the
example above, the alarm is triggered at 2 A, which corresponds
to a power of 460 W at a mains voltage of 230 V/AC).
In the event of an overload, you can switch off the load and dis-
connect it from the energy logger.
