• Measured Peak Value
The alarm monitor stores all input signal measurements. Then, the
monitor continuously displays the
input signal peak value
, since the
measurements started. You can restart the monitor’s peak value meas-
urements.
In addition, you can configure the alarm monitors with a description of the alarm
monitor and other configuration parameters.

Types of Alarm Monitors
The power system’s controller uses following types of alarm monitors, determined
by the monitor’s type of input signal:
• Logical Alarm Monitors
(L1)
(monitor logical states such as Open/Close or Yes/No)
• Numeric Alarm Monitors
(N1, N2%)
(monitor numeric values such as the number of rectifiers, errors, the %
battery capacity, etc)
• Analogue Alarm Monitors
(A2, A4)
(monitor analogue values such as voltage, current, etc)
• Special Alarm Monitors
(LVD)
(monitor the battery voltage and controls the LVD contactors)
Analogue and numerical alarm monitors compare the measured input with from
one to four user-defined values or limits
; two above normal value (
Major High
and
Minor High
) and two below normal value (
Minor Low
and
Major Low
).
Logical alarm monitors only compare the measured input signal with a logical state
(normally open or close). The user can define the type of event the monitor acti-
vates when the input signal is not in the normal state.
Using
PowerSuite
, you can change the default alarm monitor’s name (Description).
This is useful for alarm monitors of the type “ProgInput X.Y”, but you should be
careful changing the name of other system alarm monitors.
