• AlarmSetThreshold: The trigger level for this alarm. When current load exceeds
the Alarm Set Threshold, the RSM-8R8-CM can send an alarm and/or begin
load shedding (if enabled.) Note that the Alarm Set Threshold is entered as a
percentage of maximum capacity and is applied to both Over Current Branch Alarm
and Over Current Line Alarm (if present.) (Defaults: Initial = 80%; Critical = 90%)
• AlarmClearThreshold: Determines how low the current load must drop in order
for the Alarm condition to be cancelled and for load shedding recovery (if enabled)
to occur. The Alarm Clear Threshold is entered as a percentage of maximum
capacity and is applied to both Over Current Branch Alarm and Over Current Line
Alarm (if present.) (Defaults: Initial Alarms = 70%; Critical Alarms = 80%)
• ResendDelay: Determines how long the RSM-8R8-CM will wait to resend an email
message generated by this alarm, when the initial attempt to send the notification
was unsuccessful. (Default = 60 Minutes)
• NotifyUponClear: When this item is enabled, the RSM-8R8-CM will send
additional notification when the situation that caused the alarm has been corrected.
For example, when Notify Upon Clear is enabled, the RSM-8R8-CM will first send
notification when it detects that current consumption has exceeded the trigger
value, and then send a second notification when it determines that the current
consumption has fallen below the trigger value. (Default = On)
• EmailMessage: Enables/Disables email notification for this alarm. (Default = On)
• Address1,2,and3: These parameters are used to select which of the three email
addresses defined via the "Email Messages" menu (see Section 5.9.11) will receive
the email alarm notification messages generated by this alarm. The Address
parameters can be used to select one, or any combination of the addresses defined
via the Email Messages menu. (Default = All On)

• Subject: This parameter is used to define the text that will appear in the "Subject"
field for all email notification messages generated by the alarm. (Defaults =
"Alarm: Over Current (Initial)" or "Alarm: Over Current (Critical)")
