Powermonitor Data Display and Configuration
5–7
The Powermonitor contains a record of events that is stored within its
internal nonvolatile memory. An event is defined as any alarm condition,
over/under limit condition, status input change, or relay operation. Also
included as events are changes in the device setup parameters and device
power–ups.

Event Log Screen
The EVENT LOG screen displays the record of device events that has been
up loaded by the Powermonitor Software system (see Figure 5.5).
Information is divided into six columns:
1. EVENT. This column describes the type of event that has occurred.
Examples of typical events include the occurrence of a device power–up,
a change in the device set–up parameters, setpoint alarms, a change in any
of the device’s four status inputs, and events that cause changes in any of
the three control output relays.
2. STATE. This column gives the current state of any alarms resulting
from the occurrence of an event. Examples of typical state messages
include the state of the alarm (ACTIVE or NORMAL) along with a relay
number if one is associated with the setpoint alarm. The manual
operation and release of relays is also indicated here.
3. VALUE. This column is reserved for numerical information that is
related to the event. Examples include parameter values that are
associated with the triggering of any setpoint alarm event.
4. RELAY. This column shows the state of the three on–board device relays
(R1, R2, and R3, respectively) immediately following the event (ON =
operated, OFF = released). Please note that the state of the relays may not
be associated with the occurrence of every event.
5. DATE. This column gives the date that the event occurred.
6. TIME. This column gives the date and time that the event occurred.
