Active alarms list and alarm history log

Each occurrence of a low, medium or high priority alarm is stored in the active alarms list and recorded in the alarm history log. Alarms are displayed sequentially in the order of their occurrence, regardless of priority.

Alarm memory usage

There are two types of alarm entries: primary and secondary. The primary entry identifies the alarm. The secondary entry provides pickup and dropout information.

The active alarm list holds 40 entries at a time. The list works as a circular buffer, replacing old entries as new entries over 40 are entered into the active alarms list. The information in the active alarms list is volatile and reinitializes when the meter resets.

The alarm history log holds 40 entries. The log also works as a circular buffer, replacing old entries with new entries. The information in the alarm history log is nonvolatile and is retained when the meter resets.

Resetting alarms

To reset the alarms using the meter display, see the alarm parameters under “Single resets” on page 84.

To reset the alarms using ION Setup, open the Meter Resets screen and select the alarm parameters to clear.
