Information: VIM1EC Meter
Each load bus is equipped with a shunt: 1500 A for
G7 and G8, 1600 A for G101 and G102. The VIM1C
monitors these shunts to determine actual currents
and the remaining capacity of each load bus.
VIM1C features include fuse/breaker alarms, power
loss alarms, individually configurable overload
thresholds, individually configurable power loss,
audible, and remote form-C output alarms. The VIM1
receives redundant power from the A and B panels
and external ABS.
Voltage and Current - VIM1C displays voltage, current,
and identifies each monitored load bus.
Alarm Indication - When an alarm occurs, the
backlight on the display changes color from green
(normal) to red (alarm active) and the front panel
text also changes from "No Alarms" to "Alarms."
Keys – Left and Right keys are used to navigate the
menu. Up and Down keys are used to adjust the
parameters.
