How to view the log
The log saves information and a message every time a change in the PDU is detected. Alarms and events
are recorded in the log and displayed as an active alarm. Status changes are only displayed in the log, and
will not display as an active alarm.
Note: Viewing the log will clear the Check Log LED.
Select Log on the Main
Menu Screen, and press
ENTER.
Choose to view recently
logged items or the entire
log.
Use the arrow keys to
scroll through the list of events. Press the
ENTER key to view the date and time of a specific event.
How to clear the log
Select Log on the Main
Menu Screen, and press
ENTER.
Select Clear Log and
press
ENTER.
Select Ye s to clear the
entire log, or No to return
to the Main Menu Screen.
How to view the list of active alarms
The alarm menu lists all active alarms in the PDU. When an alarm is triggered, the PDU will create an
alarm and the LEDs on the front panel will illuminate to signify that an alarm has been set.
The list of active alarms shows the number of alarms, the severity, and a brief description of each alarm.
From the Main Menu Screen, select Alarms.
Choose to view all alarms, or alarms by severity
or type.
Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through
the list of active alarms. Press the
ENTER key to
view the date and time of a specific alarm.
