This section describes how to setup alarms and create your own custom
alarms. For a detailed description of alarm capabilities, see Chapter 6—
Alarms on page 83. The circuit monitor can detect over 100 alarm
conditions, including over/under conditions, status input changes, phase
unbalance conditions, and more. Some alarms are preconfigured and
enabled at the factory. See “Factory Defaults” on page 11 in Chapter 3—
Getting Started of the installation manual for information about
preconfigured alarms. You can edit the parameters of any preconfigured
alarm from the display.
For each alarm that you set up, do the following:
• Select the alarm group that defines the type of alarm:
—
Standard speed
alarms have a detection rate of one second and are
useful for detecting conditions such as over current and under voltage.
Up to 80 alarms can be set up in this group.
—
High speed
alarms have a detection rate of 100 milliseconds and are
useful for detecting voltage sags and swells that last a few cycles. Up
to 20 alarms can be set up in this group.
—
Disturbance monitoring
alarms have a detection rate of one cycle and
are useful for detecting voltage sags and swells. Up to 20 alarms can
be set up in this group.
—
Digital
alarms are triggered by an exception such as the transition of a
status input or the end of an incremental energy interval. Up to 40
alarms can be set up in this group.
—
Boolean
alarms have a detection rate of the alarms used as inputs.
They are used to combine specific alarms into summary alarm
information.
• Select the alarm that you want to configure. Keep the default name or
enter a new name with up to 15 characters.
• Enable the alarm.
• Assign a priority to the alarm. Refer to “Viewing Alarms” on page 41 for
information about the alarm priority levels.
• Define any required pickup and dropout setpoints, and pickup and dropout
time delays (for standard, high speed, and disturbance alarm groups only,
refer to “Setpoint-Driven Alarms” on page 85 in Chapter 6—Alarms).
