This section describes the alarm features on PM5100 series Power and Energy meters.

The 

 icon appears in the upper-right corner of the meter display when an alarm is 

active.

If the energy/alarm LED has been configured for alarms, the energy/alarm LED flashes 
when an alarm is active. See “Alarm / energy pulsing LED setup” on page 48 for more 
information.

The power meter maintains a counter for each alarm to help keep track of the total 
number of occurrences (see Figure 7–1).

If you make changes to the basic power meter setup, all alarms are disabled to prevent 
undesired alarm operation. Confirm alarm configuration and enable required alarms.

Only alarms that apply to the selected power system configuration can be 

enabled.

The available alarms for this power meter are described in the following sections.

The power meter has 29 standard 1-second over/under alarms. See Table 7–1 for a 
complete list. 

Use the display to configure 1-second alarms with the following values:

•

Enable—disable (default) or enable

•

Pickup Setpoint (magnitude)

•

Pickup Time Delay (in seconds)
