Alarm Configuration

•Plug Group Access: Determines which Plug Group(s) will be switched when the current exceeds the Alarm Set Threshold and the Load Shedding feature is triggered. For example, if you have defined a Plug Group named "test", which includes Plugs B3, B4 and B5, and then selected the "test" Plug Group via the Plug Group Access parameter, then all of the plugs in the "test" Plug Group will be switched On or Off whenever the current exceeds the Alarm Set Threshold. (Default = undefined.)

Notes:

•In the Text Interface, Plug Group Access is configured by typing 5, pressing [Enter] and then selecting the desired Plug Group(s) from the resulting submenu.

•In the Web Browser Interface, Plug Group Access is configured by clicking on the "plus" symbol in the "Configure Plug Group Access" field to display the drop down menu, and then selecting the desired Plug Group(s) from the drop down menu.

•Plug Groups must first be defined (as described in Section 5.6) before they will be displayed in the Load Shedding menu's Plug Group Access submenu.
