Alarm Configuration

• LoadShedding: Provides access to a submenu which is used to configure

and enable the Load Shedding feature for the Over Current Alarm. When Load

Shedding is enabled and properly configured, the RSM-8R8-CM will switch

user-selected plugs On or Off whenever the current load exceeds the Alarm

Set Threshold value. If the Auto Recovery feature is enabled, the RSM-8R8-CM

can also return these user-selected plugs to their prior status when current load

falls below the Alarm Clear Threshold value. For more information on the Load

Shedding Feature and Auto Recovery, please refer to Section 7.1.1.

7.1.1. Over Current Alarms - Load Shedding and Auto Recovery

The Load Shedding feature is used to switch specific, user-defined, non-essential plugs

On or Off whenever current load exceeds the Alarm Set Threshold value. This allows

the RSM-8R8-CM to automatically shut Off plugs in order to reduce current load when

the load approaches user-defined critical levels. When the Auto Recovery feature

is enabled, the RSM-8R8-CM can also automatically "undo" the effects of the Load

Shedding feature when current load again falls to a user-defined non-critical level.

Together, the Load Shedding and Auto Recovery features allow the RSM-8R8-CM to

shut off power to non-essential devices when the current load is too high, and then

switch those same non-essential devices back On again when the load falls to an

acceptable level.

The Load Shedding Configuration Menus allow you to define the following parameters:

• Enable: Enables/Disables Load Shedding for the corresponding alarm. When

enabled, the RSM-8R8-CM will switch the user specified plugs whenever current

load exceeds the Alarm Set Threshold value. (Default = Off)

• PlugState: Determines whether the selected plugs/plug groups will be switched

On or Off when Load Shedding is enabled and current load exceeds the user-

defined Alarm Set Threshold. For example, if the Plug State is "Off", then plugs

or plug groups will be switched Off when the Alarm Set Threshold is exceeded.

(Default = Off)
