BCMS Normal points list allows customization of thresholds and alarm level for each individual circuit,
which is done in BCMS setup, not in the Color Monitor. KWH Power measurements are available only
for panelboard totals. See Figure 25
, “Readings: BCMS Normal”.

BCMS KWH Readings
Compared to BCMS Normal, BCMS KWH panelboard devices have one additional screen showing
power measurements (KWH, etc.) for individual circuits.
The first screen in the device’s chain provides
KW, KVA, KVAR, and power factor readings for each panelboard circuit (Figure 26-27).

Readings:
NO
= circuit number (scroll through 42
circuits)
AMPS
= Amperes
KW
= Kilowatts
KVA
= kilovolt-amperes
KVAR
= kilovolt-amperes reactive
PF
= power factor
Panelboard Circuits, Measurements
and Alarms:
NO
= Circuit Number
AMPS
= Amperes
CB
= Circuit breaker rating (Amps)
MIN
= Lowest current read
MAX
= Highest current read
ZERO
: OK = Current has not dropped to
0 since last reset; ACTIVE = Current has
read 0 after having read a minimum
current
WARNING
: OK = No warning
outstanding; ACTIVE = warning
outstanding
ALARM
: OK = No alarm outstanding;
ACTIVE = Alarm is outstanding
