A Alarm / energy pulsing LED

NOTE: The alarm / energy pulsing LED on the PM5561 is permanently set for energy pulsing and cannot be disabled or used for alarms.

When set to detect alarms, the LED blinks to indicate an alarm condition. See “Alarm priorities” on page 96 for a description of the LED behavior based on different alarms.

When the LED is set to energy pulsing, the meter sends a readable pulse or signal based on the measured energy. This pulse can be used for accuracy verification or as an input to another energy monitoring system. The meter uses the pulse constant setting in pulses per k_h to determine the frequency and number of pulses sent to the LED (where k_h = kWh, kVARh or kVAh depending on the energy parameter selected).

The LED setup screen allows you to configure the alarm / energy pulsing LED for alarming or energy pulsing applications.

Configuring the alarm / energy pulsing LED using the front panel

You can use the front panel display to configure your meter’s LED for alarming or energy pulsing application.
