 Type of message: 

Defines the type of message (email/fax). 

 Delay: 

Indicates the wait time, i.e. how many intervals/days  
are allowed for an alarm status until an alarm 
message is triggered. 

  Number of triggered alarms: 

Shows the number of registered alarms. 

 Reset Counter: 

Enables you to reset the counter of occurred  
alarms back to zero. 

7.5.7 Status Alarms 
 
This dialog is used to evaluate the analog and digital 
outputs and send alarm messages sccordingly. 
 
The following parameters are defined under  Settings: 
 

y

 Status: 

The parameter can be set to “inactive” or “active” 

y

 Description: 

Use this field to enter the parameter name. 

y

 Alarm contact: 

Defines the person to be notified in the event of an 
alarm.  

y

 Type of message: 

Defines the type of message, e.g. by “email” or “fax”

 Re-activation of alarm after reset: 

 Indicates the time interval after which the alarm is 
re-activated (if the measuring for this time interval 

y

 Number of triggered alarms: 

 Indicates the number of registered alarm. 

 
The following functions are differentiated under 
Formula Settings
 

y

 Analog: 

 If a defined limit value is exceeded, the message will 
be sent to the contact defined under Settings (e.g. 
Measur. Channel 1 >= limit of  8.0 V). 
 
 
 
 

 

y

 Status: 

 The message is sent if, for example, Status Channel 
1 no longer corresponds to the error level defined as 
“low” or “high”. 
 
 

y

 Pulse meter: 

If a defined limit value is exceeded, the message will 
be sent to a contact defined under Settings (e.g. 
Meter 1 <=  limit of 1.0 kW). 

 

 

Formula settings are defined in the reverse Polish 
notation. An example of this setting is given in Section 8 
“Configuration example.” 
 

7.6 Admin Measurement 

7.6.1 Analog channels 
 

 Status: 

Used to enable/disable a channel (inactive / active). 
Depending on the status, the measured values are 
logged in the data files. 

 

  Description of channel/measured value: 

Defines the name of the channel. This description is 
used for the online display of measured values. 

 

 Abbreviation: 

Defines the channel abbreviation to be used in the 
data files. This abbreviation should be selected from 
a predefined list (see Section 9: List of abbreviations) 
to facilitate synchronization with the Internet 
database. 

 

 Unit: 

Defines the unit of measured values . This description 
is used in the online display of measured values. 

 

 Gradient: 

The gradient is used to convert the measured input 
voltage to physical values. 

 

 Offset: 

Indicates the offset value as a physical value.
