Alarm Configuration
7.2. The Circuit Breaker Open Alarm (RPC-40L8A4 Series Units Only)
The Circuit Breaker Alarm is intended to provide notification in the event that one of the
RPC-40L8A4 series unit's fuse is blown. When a fuse is blown, the RPC-40L8A4 can
provide prompt notification via Email, Syslog Message or SNMP Trap.
Notes:
• The Circuit Breaker Open Alarm is not available on RPC-4850 series units.
• In order for the RPC-40L8A4 to provide alarm notification via Email,
communication parameters must first be defined as described in
Section 5.9.11.
• In order for the RPC-40L8A4 to provide alarm notification via Syslog
Message, Syslog parameters must first be defined and Syslog Messages
must be enabled as described in Section 5.9.2 and Section 11.
• In order for the RPC-40L8A4 to provide alarm notification via SNMP Trap,
SNMP parameters must first be defined, and SNMP Traps must be enabled
as described in Section 5.9.7 and Section 12.
To configure the Circuit Breaker Alarm, you must access the RPC-40L8A4 command
mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands. The Circuit
Breaker Open Alarm Configuration Menu offers the following parameters:
• TriggerEnable: Enables/Disables the trigger for this alarm. When Disabled, this
alarm will be suppressed. (Default = On)
Note:
• When an alarm is generated, to cancel an alarm without correcting the
condition that caused the alarm, simply toggle the Trigger Enable parameter
Off and then back On again.
• The Trigger Enable, Notify on Clear, Email Message and Address 1, 2 and
3 Parameters all include "Copy to All Triggers" options that allow you to
enable/disable the corresponding parameter for all RPC-40L8A4 alarms. For
example, if the Circuit Breaker Open Alarm's Trigger Enable parameter is set
to "On (Copy to All Triggers), then all other RPC-40L8A4 alarms will also be
enabled.
• ResendDelay: Determines how long the RPC-40L8A4 will wait to resend an email
message generated by this alarm, when the initial attempt to send the notification
was unsuccessful. (Default = 60 Minutes)
• NotifyUponClear: When this item is enabled, the unit will send additional
notification when the situation that caused the alarm has been corrected. For
example, when Notify Upon Clear is enabled, the unit can send initial notification
when it detects a blown fuse, and then send a second notification when it
determines that the fuse has been replaced. (Default = On)
• EmailMessage: Enables/Disables email notification for this alarm. (Default = On)
