Active Alarms
The Eaton ePDUs have a rich set of alarms and events to notify you of up-to-date activity and operation status.
Both the local ePDU LCD interface and the remote Web interface provide active alarm notifications when
alarms become active.
l
On the LCD interface, the existing LCD display is replaced by the Active Alarms screen and the backlight is
blinking red when an alarm is generated.
l
On the Web interface, two active alarm notifications are provided:
- In the menu hierarchy, the text for Active Alarms is red when alarms are active.
- In the bottom of the window (the refresh bar), a message displays, “Warning, some alarms fired, please
refer to the Active Alarms | Last Refresh: dd/mm/yyyy - hh:hh:ss.” The words “Active Alarms” in the
message are a link to the Active Alarms page.
l
To clear flashing LCDs and the LED:
- Press any button on the ePDU or clear the alarm using the Web interface.
l
To correct a condition:
- Define the alarm condition and resolve the condition.
l
Self-correcting conditions:
- Sometimes, the alarm automatically clears when the condition resolves. For example, if a load over
current alarm is generated, the alarm is cleared when the current drops 0.1A below the level (alarm
hysteresis).
NOTE
The alarm and event list is subject to change.
