Alarm Configuration
7.2. The Circuit Breaker Open Alarm (RSM-8R8 Units Only)
The Circuit Breaker Alarm is intended to provide notification in the event that one of the
RSM-8R's circuit breakers is opened.
Notes:
• The Circuit Breaker Open Alarm is only available on units that include two
power inlets (Models RSM-8R8-1 and RSM-8R8-2.)
• In order for the RSM-8R to provide alarm notification via Email,
communication parameters must first be defined as described in
Section 5.9.11.
• In order for the RSM-8R to provide alarm notification via Syslog Message,
Syslog parameters must first be defined and Syslog Messages must be
enabled as described in Section 5.9.2 and Section 11.
• In order for the RSM-8R to provide alarm notification via SNMP Trap, SNMP
parameters must first be defined, and SNMP Traps must be enabled as
described in Section 5.9.7 and Section 12.
To configure the Circuit Breaker Alarm, you must access the RSM-8R command mode
using a password that permits Administrator Level commands. The Circuit Breaker
Open Alarm Configuration Menu offers the following parameters:
•
Trigger Enable:
Enables/Disables the trigger for this alarm. When Disabled, this
alarm will be suppressed. (Default = On.)
Note:
To cancel an alarm without correcting the condition that caused the
alarm, simply toggle the Trigger Enable parameter Off and then back On again.
•
Resend Delay:
Determines how long the RSM-8R will wait to resend an email
message generated by this alarm, when the initial attempt to send the notification
was unsuccessful. (Default = 60 Minutes.)
•
Notify Upon Clear:
When this item is enabled, the RSM-8R will send additional
notification when the situation that caused the alarm has been corrected. For
example, when Notify Upon Clear is enabled, the unit can send initial notification
when it detects an open circuit breaker, and then send a second notification when it
determines that the circuit breaker has been closed. (Default = On.)
•
Email Message:
Enables/Disables email notification for this alarm. (Default = On.)
Note:
The Email Message parameter offers four different options: On, Off, On
(Copy to All Triggers) or Off (Copy to All Triggers). If either of the "Copy to All
Triggers" options is selected, then email notification for all other alarms will be
switched On or Off as indicated by this parameter.
•
Address 1, 2, and 3:
These parameters are used to select which of the three email
addresses defined via the "Email Messages" menu (see Section 5.9.11) will receive
the email alarm notification messages generated by this alarm. The Address
parameters can be used to select one, or any combination of the addresses defined
via the Email Messages menu. (Default = All On.)
Note:
If Email addresses have been previously defined, then the text under the
parameters will list the current, user selected email addresses.
•
Subject:
This parameter is used to define the text that will appear in the "Subject"
field for all email notification messages generated by this alarm. (Default = "Alarm:
Circuit Breaker Open")
