Using the Setpoint Calculator

Use the Setpoint Calculator to calculate values for the Active and Inactive Alarm conditions.

1. Click Calculate Values in the Add Alarm Rule - Details window for a new Alarm Rule, or the Details tab in the Edit Alarm Rule window for an existing Alarm Rule. This opens Setpoint Calculator.
2. In Setpoint Calculator, enter a baseline value for the measurement you want to monitor in the Baseline entry field.

   For example, for an Over Voltage alarm, assume you enter a baseline value of 480.

3. Enter a percentage value in the On Setpoint entry field to calculate when the alarm is set ON.

   Using the voltage baseline of 480, if you enter a 105 as the percentage value for On Setpoint, the calculated value is 504, which displays below the entry field.

   Initially, the On Setpoint and Off Setpoint entry fields are linked. That is, the value you enter in On Setpoint is automatically duplicated in the Off Setpoint entry field.

4. To set a different value for Off Setpoint , click the link button to disable the linking of the entry fields, and then enter a percentage value in the Off Setpoint entry field.

   The off setpoint value is calculated and displays below the entry field. For example, using the voltage baseline of 480, if you enter 95 as the percentage value for Off Setpoint, the calculated value is 456, which displays below the entry field.

5. Click Apply to add your setpoint values to the respective Active Condition and Inactive Condition fields, or click Cancel to discard your entries and to close the Setpoint Calculator.
