Standard Speed 
010
Over Value Alarm
If the test register value exceeds the setpoint long enough to satisfy the pickup 
delay period, the alarm condition will be true. When the value in the test register 
falls below the dropout setpoint long enough to satisfy the dropout delay period, 
the alarm will drop out. Pickup and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in 
seconds.
011
Over Power Alarm
If the absolute value in the test register exceeds the setpoint long enough to 
satisfy the pickup delay period, the alarm condition will be true. When absolute the 
value in the test register falls below the dropout setpoint long enough to satisfy the 
dropout delay period, the alarm will drop out. Pickup and dropout setpoints are 
positive, delays are in seconds.
012
Over Reverse
Power Alarm
If the absolute value in the test register exceeds the setpoint long enough to 
satisfy the pickup delay period, the alarm condition will be true. When absolute the 
value in the test register falls below the dropout setpoint long enough to satisfy the 
dropout delay period, the alarm will drop out. This alarm will only hold true for 
reverse power conditions. Positive power values will not cause the alarm to occur. 
Pickup and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in seconds.
020
Under Value Alarm
If the test register value is below the setpoint long enough to satisfy the pickup 
delay period, the alarm condition will be true. When the value in the test register 
rises above the dropout setpoint long enough to satisfy the dropout delay period, 
the alarm will drop out. Pickup and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in 
seconds.
021
Under Power Alarm
If the absolute value in the test register is below the setpoint long enough to 
satisfy the pickup delay period, the alarm condition will be true. When the absolute 
value in the test register rises above the dropout setpoint long enough to satisfy 
the dropout delay period, the alarm will drop out. Pickup and dropout setpoints are 
positive, delays are in seconds.
051
Phase Reversal
The phase reversal alarm will occur whenever the phase voltage waveform 
rotation differs from the default phase rotation. The ABC phase rotation is 
assumed to be normal. If a CBA phase rotation is normal, the user should 
reprogram the power meter’s phase rotation ABC to CBA phase rotation. The 
pickup and dropout setpoints for phase reversal do not apply.
052
Phase Loss, Voltage
The phase loss voltage alarm will occur when any one or two phase voltages (but 
not all) fall to the pickup value and remain at or below the pickup value long 
enough to satisfy the specified pickup delay. When all of the phases remain at or 
above the dropout value for the dropout delay period, or when all of the phases 
drop below the specified phase loss pickup value, the alarm will drop out. Pickup 
and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in seconds.
053
Phase Loss, Current
The phase loss current alarm will occur when any one or two phase currents (but 
not all) fall to the pickup value and remain at or below the pickup value long 
enough to satisfy the specified pickup delay. When all of the phases remain at or 
above the dropout value for the dropout delay period, or when all of the phases 
drop below the specified phase loss pickup value, the alarm will drop out. Pickup 
and dropout setpoints are positive, delays are in seconds.
054
Leading Power Factor
The leading power factor alarm will occur when the test register value becomes 
more leading than the pickup setpoint (such as closer to 0.010) and remains more 
leading long enough to satisfy the pickup delay period. When the value becomes 
equal to or less leading than the dropout setpoint, that is 1.000, and remains less 
leading for the dropout delay period, the alarm will drop out. Both the pickup 
setpoint and the dropout setpoint must be positive values representing leading 
power factor. Enter setpoints as integer values representing power factor in 
thousandths. For example, to define a dropout setpoint of 0.5, enter 500. Delays 
are in seconds.
055
Lagging Power Factor
The lagging power factor alarm will occur when the test register value becomes 
more lagging than the pickup setpoint (such as closer to –0.010) and remains 
more lagging long enough to satisfy the pickup delay period. When the value 
becomes equal to or less lagging than the dropout setpoint and remains less 
lagging for the dropout delay period, the alarm will drop out. Both the pickup 
setpoint and the dropout setpoint must be positive values representing lagging 
power factor. Enter setpoints as integer values representing power factor in 
thousandths. For example, to define a dropout setpoint of –0.5, enter 500. Delays 
are in seconds.
Digital 
060
Digital Input On
The digital input transition alarms will occur whenever the digital input changes 
from off to on. The alarm will dropout when the digital input changes back to on 
from off. The pickup and dropout setpoints and delays do not apply.
061
Digital Input Off
The digital input transition alarms will occur whenever the digital input changes 
from on to off.The alarm will dropout when the digital input changes back to off 
from on. The pickup and dropout setpoints and delays do not apply.
070
Unary
This is a internal signal from the power meter and can be used, for example, to 
alarm at the end of an interval or when the power meter is reset. Neither the 
pickup and dropout delays nor the setpoints apply.
