• Activate Relay: Select this check box to specify that the relay alarm will sound (activate)
if the selected condition is met. If this box is not selected, any changes you make to the
alarm relay settings are ignored.
• Alarm status: Indicates whether or not the PCS4 has detected the condition that is
being monitored. This column can display the following:
• Inactive — Appears when the receptacle is not being monitored, or the condition
being monitored has not been detected.
• Active — Appears in red when the PCS4 detects the condition for which the
receptacle is being monitored. In addition, a Silence button appears at the right of
the status, and a pulsing red light icon appears by the number of the receptacle for
which the condition was met.
• Silenced — Appears in red when you click the Silence button to clear the
monitored condition. In addition, the pulsing red light icon is replaced by an
exclamation point icon (!).
To reset the alarm status, deselect and reselect the Enable check box for the receptacle
being monitored, then click Submit. The Alarm Status column displays inactive again
and the ! icon is removed.

effect.
