Liebert Distribution Monitoring LDM - Manual (Page 20)

5.1 Alarms
The Liebert LDM constantly monitors configured parameters for normal values. When the unit
detects an alarm condition, it annunciates and displays alarm messages via the Monitor program (see
5.4 - Using the Monitor Tool).
Alarms must be manually reset after the alarm condition has been corrected and may be reset
through Modbus.
To facilitate troubleshooting:
• All alarms are stored in non-volatile memory to protect against erasure by a power outage.
• Alarms are saved in an event log. The event log stores up to 128 events using a first-in, first-out
format (FIFO).
All alarm thresholds for monitored parameters are adjustable by using the Configuration tool to
match site requirements (see 5.5 - Using the Configuration Tool).
Table 6 shows the types of alarms for the various types of breakers, along with a description, factory
default setpoints and allowable range for each.
