Setpoint-driven Alarms
Many of the alarm conditions require that you define setpoints. This includes all alarms for
over, under, and phase unbalance alarm conditions. Other alarm conditions such as digital
input transitions and phase reversals do not require setpoints. For those alarm conditions
that require setpoints, you must define the following information:
over, under, and phase unbalance alarm conditions. Other alarm conditions such as digital
input transitions and phase reversals do not require setpoints. For those alarm conditions
that require setpoints, you must define the following information:
•
Pickup Setpoint
•
Pickup Delay
•
Dropout Setpoint
•
Dropout Delay
NOTE: Alarms with both Pickup and Dropout setpoints set to zero are invalid.
The following two figures will help you understand how the power meter handles setpoint-
driven alarms. Figure 6–1 shows what the actual alarm Log entries for Figure 6–2 might
look like, as displayed by PowerLogic software.

were satisfied, and the maximum value reached (Max2) during the alarm period.
The power meter also stores a correlation sequence number (
CSN
) for each event (such as
Under Voltage Phase A Pickup, Under Voltage Phase A Dropout). The
CSN
lets you relate
pickups and dropouts in the alarm log. You can sort pickups and dropouts by
CSN
to
correlate the pickups and dropouts of a particular alarm. The pickup and dropout entries of
an alarm will have the same
an alarm will have the same
CSN
. You can also calculate the duration of an event by
looking at pickups and dropouts with the same
CSN
.
