• Plug Thresholds: Denes current consumption level(s) that will trigger
alarm(s) at each switched outlet. The Plug Thresholds can be congured
to trigger an alarm when current consumption rises above a user-dened
"High" value and/or when current consumption falls below a user-dened
"Low" value. This allows you to dene a "normal" current range for each
outlet, allowing the Plug Current Alarm to be triggered whenever current
consumption strays outside of this range. (Default = undened.)
• Plug Group Thresholds: Denes current consumption level(s) that
will trigger alarm(s) for each user-dened Plug Group. The Plug Group
Thresholds can be congured to trigger an alarm when total current
consumption for a given Plug Group rises above a user-dened "High" value
and/or when current consumption falls below a user-dened "Low" value.
This allows you to dene a "normal" current range for each Plug Group,
allowing the Plug Current Alarm to be triggered whenever total current
consumption for the Plug Group strays outside of this range.
(Default = undened.)
Note:
In order to define Plug Group Thresholds, you must first define at
least one Plug Group as described in Section 5.6.
• Plug "Off" Low Alarm: Allows you to congure the "Low" current alarm
to suppress triggering when an outlet is purposely switched Off. When
this feature is "On", the Outlet Managed PDU will generate a Low alarm
whenever current drops below the Low threshold value, even if the current
drop is due to an outlet being purposely switched Off. When this feature
is "Off", the Outlet Managed PDU will not generate a Low alarm due to a
current drop caused by an outlet being switched Off. (Default = On)
Notes:
• The Plug "Off" Low Alarm feature will also be applied to Plug
Groups.
• When the Plug "Off" Low Alarm feature is enabled (On), the
Outlet Managed PDU will always generate a Low current alarm
when current drops below the Low threshold value, even when
the current drop was caused by one or more outlets in the Plug
Group being purposely switched Off.
• When the Plug "Off" Low Alarm feature is disabled (Off), the
Outlet Managed PDU will not generate a Low current Alarm when
a current drop is caused by all outlets in the Plug Group being
purposely switched Off.
