Alarms and alerts
have two alerts, one generating an email, the other sending a message to your
energy management system, but using the same trigger conditions; or you can
have two alerts with different conditions that send two unique emails to two
different email addresses. You can also generate alerts based on triggers from
devices connected to your meter.
Creating alerts is an advanced feature that requires familiarity with ION
architecture and your power system and communications network. To create an
alert, you must configure the Alert module using a configuration tool. You must
also configure your device’s communications as needed to send the alerts, such
as configuring your meter’s SMTP settings and connecting it via Ethernet to an
SMTP mail server in order to send an alert by email.

detailed information on creating and configuring alerts, and the ION Reference for
detailed information about the Alert module and its operation.
Setpoint learning overview
Your meter can learn acceptable ranges or thresholds by monitoring normal
operating values to determine what constitutes a voltage sag, swell or transient in
order to help identify high and low setpoints.
NOTE: To help your meter learn the most accurate values possible, it is
important that learning occur during a period of normal operation. Do not
schedule learning during a period of unusual operations in your system. Do
not modify your meter’s configuration during the learning period as it may stop
the learning process.
You can configure the meter so that learned values are applied automatically once
the learning period is complete or require that they are reviewed and manually
applied. If a learned value is invalid, the learned values are not automatically
applied, but logged for review.
Setpoint learning can be used to identify the following values:
Feature Values
Setpoints (Alarms) High limit
Low limit
Sustain until ON
Sustain until OFF
Sag Voltage sag limit
Swell Voltage swell limit
Transient Threshold
Learning installation mode and learning duration
You can configure learning for manual or automatic mode.
There are two learning installation modes:
• Manual: the meter learns the applicable values but does not begin using the
learned values. The learned values are recorded for review, and you can
decide to use the learned values or adjust them as required before manually
implementing the learned values.
• Automatic: the meter learns the applicable values and begins using those
learned values automatically at the end of the learning period. If a learned
value is invalid, the meter does not apply the value, but the value is recorded
in the event log.
You can configure the maximum learning duration. The actual learning duration
may vary, depending on the stability of the system. If the system is stable for a
