Using the Monitor Tool

The Monitor tool supports service terminal connections through the LDM Setup port. The tool dis-

plays the following information:

• Main input voltage and currents
• Total power
• Individual branch circuit breaker currents
• Event log
• System clock (date and time)
• Reset kWh function

A special registry key may be installed in the PC to enable the auto-zero control option and provide

access to a more in-depth event log. This diagnostic feature is reserved for use by Liebert Services and

Emerson Network Power technical personnel.
