VIM1C Meter
Each load bus is equipped with a 1500 ampere shunt. The VIM1C monitors these shunts
to determine actual currents and the remaining capacity of each load bus.
VIM1C features include fuse/breaker alarms, power loss alarms, individually
configurable overload thresholds, individually configurable power loss, audible, and
remote form-C output alarms. The VIM1 receives redundant power from the A and B
panels and external ABS.
Voltage and Current - VIM1C displays voltage, current, and identifies each monitored load
bus 1 .
Alarm Indication - When an alarm occurs, the backlight on the display changes color from
green (normal) to red (alarm
active) and the front panel text also changes from “No
Alarms” to “Alarms.”
Menus and Keys – Menus are structured with three main menu items: System
Parameters, Load Parameters, and Control/Operations - . Each key menu item has sub
items as shown in the menu map below. Left and Right keys are used to navigate the
menu. Up and Down keys are used to adjust the parameters. The VIM1C includes an
audible alarm with a user configurable on/off feature.
