Setting Up Unary Alarms
To set up unary alarms:
Viewing Alarm Activity and History
There are two types of alarm entries: primary and secondary. The primary entry identifies
the alarm. The secondary entries provide pickup and dropout information.
The active alarm list holds 40 entries at a time. The list works as a circular buffer,
replacing old entries as new entries over 40 are entered into the alarm event queue. The
information in the alarm event queue reinitializes when the power meter resets.
The alarm history log holds 40 entries. The log also works as a circular buffer, replacing
old entries with new entries. This information is nonvolatile.
