Chapter 7—Alarms
This section describes the alarm features on PM5100 series Power and Energy meters.
About Alarms
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.
NOTE: 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.
1-Second Alarms
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)
