Current and Voltage Measurement Colors

If you set threshold parameter values for an original PDU (SeeSet Threshold Parameter Levels (Original PDU)), the module graph and current amp number are displayed in one of the colors in this table.

If you set values for an enhanced PDU (See Set Threshold Parameter Values (Enhanced PDU)), the color behind the black line is one of the colors in this table.

Table 13  Color Descriptions of PDU Module Measurements
Color
Value
Description
Blue
Measured current is below Info Low threshold.
Attached equipment is using less current than expected.
Green
Measured current is between the Info Low and Pre Warning thresholds.
Attached equipment is using the expected amount of current.
Yellow
Measured current is between the Pre Warning threshold, and the Alarm threshold.
Attached equipment is using more current than expected.
Red
Measured current is above the Alarm threshold.
Attached equipment is using a critical amount of current and requires immediate attention.
Blinking red
Measured current is above the Out of Balance threshold. Also, an blinking red “Out of Balance” message displays above the module graph.
The equipment attached to one phase is using more current than the other phases on the input. The PDU and attached equipment require immediate attention.
Color
Value
Description
Green
Measure of Voltage is above Warning threshold.
Attached equipment is operating with an expected voltage level.
Yellow
Measured Voltage is between Warning and Alarm threshold.
Attached equipment is operating at an allowable voltage level.
Red
Measured Voltage is below Alarm threshold.
Attached equipment might not operate as expected.

Caution

Caution  -  If the PDU input voltage is below the Alarm level, the attached equipment (and PDU) might be damaged. Power off the equipment and PDU immediately.
