Monitoring the receptacles and setting the alarm

The Monitor screen on the Configuration tab lets you monitor each receptacle for any change in its power or its reference threshold condition (full or standby power). You can also configure the alarm relay and set up the alarm to sound, send an e-mail notification, or both if any condition at a receptacle changes.

This screen is updated continually. In addition, you can update it by clicking Refresh. Refresh also removes any settings that have been entered but have not been submitted, and returns the entire screen to the settings that were saved previously.
