Configuring the Monitor

Monitor settings can be configured from the Setup menu. This menu can be accessed by pressing the Menu button and then scrolling to and selecting
Setup. Press the UP ↑ and DOWN ↓ arrow buttons to move the cursor. The different setup options are described below.
Alarm Setup & Control
The meter monitors two different conditions that can active an alarm. The meter monitors the amount of time the bilge is active over the last
60 minutes. The monitor can be set to sound an alarm anytime the monitor exceeds a certain on time. The monitor can also monitor the number of cy-
cles that have occurred in the last 24 hours. Alarms can be set from the Alarm Setup menu. To get there, first navigate to the Setup menu. Then scroll
to Alarm Setup and press the Select button.

Setting Alarms

The M2 Monitor family provides monitoring capability of bilge input channels. Alarms are triggered if a channel is above or below a certain user select-
ed threshold value. The following example indicates how to setup a run time high alarm.
1. Go to the Alarm Setup menu.
2. Scroll to the desired input channel (i.e., Bilge 1 Hi).
3. Press the Select button and the cursor should start blinking.
4. Set the bilge threshold using the ← and → buttons. (Holding down the buttons allows faster selection)
5. Press the Enter button to save the change or the Cancel button to cancel any change.
In the above example, an alarm will set anytime Bilge 1 is running longer than or equal to 8 minutes.

Clearing Alarms

When an alarm occurs, the buzzer will sound, the red ALARM LED will light, and the screen will display which alarm was triggered, the Alarm set point
and the current value. Pressing any button silences the buzzer and another button press returns to the previous display.
Until the cause of the alarm is resolved, the ALARM LED will remain on and the channel that triggered the alarm will blink.
