Setting up alarms using the display
You can use the display to create and set up standard (1-Sec),
unary, digital and disturbance alarms, and to configure logic and
custom alarms after they are created in
ION Setup
.
NOTE:
-
You must use ION Setup to create logic and custom (Cust1s) alarms. After the alarm is created, you can use ION Setup or the display to modify the alarm parameters.
-
It is recommended that you use ION Setup to configure standard (1-Sec) alarms. ION Setup supports a higher resolution to allow you to specify more decimal places when setting up the pickup setpoint and dropout setpoint values for certain measurements.
- Navigate to the alarms setup menu screens and select the alarm you want to set up.
-
Configure the setup parameters as explained in the different
alarm setup sections.
NOTE: If you use ION Setup to program decimal values on a standard (1-Sec) alarm, do not use the meter display to make subsequent changes to any alarm parameters (including enable/disable), as doing so will cause removal of all decimals previously programmed through ION Setup .
- Click Yes to save the changes to the meter when prompted.
