Alarm and Monitoring
Visual, Audible and Remote Alarms
The VIM1 monitor includes an audible alarm with a user configurable on/off feature. There is a form-C relay for
each of the three alarms for remote monitoring.
All alarms are active when the VIM1 is unpowered. Alarms are asserted when their relay coils are not powered.
Power Loss/Under Voltage
Generates an alarm when power is lost to a load bus or when a user configurable low voltage threshold is reached.
Overload
Generates an alarm when a user configurable current threshold is reached. A configurable time delay may also be
set to avoid nuisance alarms due to bus transients.
Breaker/Fuse
Generates an alarm when either a circuit breaker trips or a fuse blows.
Network Connectivity
There are two RJ45 type connectors on the board for future use.

The Load Overload (OVL) alarm event is triggered when any measured panel

Programming the Meter
VIM1 parameters like shunt size and number of load buses are preconfigured when it is factory installed in a
BDFB/BDCBB or Micro-BDFB. Only customer specific preferences need to be adjusted in the field. As a
replacement or mete upgrade, the factory default settings may need to be adjusted for the application. Listed
below are the configurable parameters and their associated factory defaults available through the front panel.
Following the table are the typical items that need to be configured or verified in a retrofit or replacement
application.

Overload alarm event for a “Single Bus” or for an “Redundant Bus” configuration.
The “Single Bus” configuration is based on straight Overload threshold being
exceeded. The “Redundant Bus” configuration causes the VIM1 to sum the two
respective left and right load shunt measurements and compare it to the
individual overload thresholds configured for the each of the respective panels in
the pairing. The lowest Overload value threshold configured for the Redundant
loads shall take priority and be used in the comparison. Once the “Redundant
Bus” measurement exceeds this threshold, the controller asserts the Over Load
currents exceed their respective configured thresholds. These OVL thresholds
