Alarm Relay Settings section

Activate Relay: Select this check box to specify that the relay alarm will sound (activate) if the selected condition is met. If this box is not selected, any changes you make to the alarm relay settings are ignored.

Alarm status: Indicates whether or not the PCS4 has detected the condition that is being monitored. This column can display the following:

Inactive — Appears when the receptacle is not being monitored, or the condition being monitored has not been detected.

Active — Appears in red when the PCS4 detects the condition for which the receptacle is being monitored. In addition, a Silence button appears at the right of the status, and a pulsing red light icon appears by the number of the receptacle for which the condition was met.

Silenced — Appears in red when you click the Silence button to clear the monitored condition. In addition, the pulsing red light icon is replaced by an exclamation point icon (!).

To reset the alarm status, deselect and reselect the Enable check box for the receptacle being monitored, then click Submit. The Alarm Status column displays inactive again and the ! icon is removed.

For Oscillate, you can set the length of the repeating tone (On menu) and the amount of time between tones (Off menu).

Cancel Alarm when: From one of the following menus, select the condition that will stop the alarm tone.

Condition Changes — Select the type of change in conditions that will make the alarm stop sounding. (Selecting Manual specifies that the tone will not stop without user intervention via the front panel, the powered device, or SIS commands.)
