Alarm and Monitoring

Visual, Audible and Remote Alarms

The VIM1 monitor includes an audible alarm with a user configurable on/off feature. There is a form-C relay for

each of the three alarms for remote monitoring.
All alarms are active when the VIM1 is unpowered. Alarms are asserted when their relay coils are not powered.

Power Loss/Under Voltage

Generates an alarm when power is lost to a load bus or when a user configurable low voltage threshold is reached.

Overload

Generates an alarm when a user configurable current threshold is reached. A configurable time delay may also be

set to avoid nuisance alarms due to bus transients.

Breaker/Fuse

Generates an alarm when either a circuit breaker trips or a fuse blows.

Network Connectivity

There are two RJ45 type connectors on the board for future use.
