5.2. Usage According to Purpose (Alarm, Periodic Active Energy, Rolling Demand, Operating
Time, Password, etc.)
The following explains usage according to the purpose during operation.
Display and operation of the upper/lower limit alarm
When the value exceeds the upper or lower limit setting value set in advance, the display flickers and alarm can be output.
(For more information about how to set the upper/lower limit alarm, refer to page 34 and after.)
■
Alarm indicator
When the measurement element with an upper/lower limit alarm is displayed on the bar graph, "▲" flickers on
the bar graph to indicate the upper/lower limit.
■
Behavior During Alarm Generation
Alarm condition: When measurement value exceeds alarm value, display flicker and an alarm contact closes.
Alarm cancel: When alarm is canceled, display flickers normally and alarm contact opens.
Note: When the alarm delay time is set, an alarm is generated only when the alarm value is continuously beyond the
upper/lower limit alarm value for the delay time.
Alarm cancel method
Measurement value ≥ Upper limit value
(
or Measurement value ≤ Lower limit value)
Measurement value < Upper limit alarm value
(or Measurement value > Lower limit alarm value)

Note 1: When the measurement element where the alarm generated exists on the display screen, the display for the digital
value, unit (A, V, W, var, PF, Hz, %, DM,THD), and phase (1, 2, 3, N) will be based on the alarm status according
to the following table. If it does not exist on the display screen, it does not flicker.

Note 2: When the backlight flickering setting is set to ON (flicker) during alarm generation, the backlight also flickers when
an alarm is generated.

Monitoring phase for upper/lower limit alarm element
The phase that monitors the upper/lower limit alarm differs according to the measurement item. For more details,

Note1: For phase 12 (or phase 31) at 1-phase 3-wire, alarm monitoring is executed using a value that is two times the set
upper/lower limit alarm value.
Note2: Only 3-phase 3-wire (3CT) is measured for the phase 2 harmonic current.
