- Custom Asset Tag: Users can change the default "Asset Tag" to a custom tag for easy identification. This is useful for naming the sensor in larger distributed systems or to denote a company asset number.
- Clock: Users can set the date and time in 12 or 24-hour format.
- Keypad Sounds: Users can toggle keypad beep sounds on and off.
- Alarm Volume: Users can adjust the alarm volume (low, medium, or high).
- On-Screen Alert Banners: A yellow banner appears beneath on-screen velocity readings to alert users of following scenarios: 1) Uncalibrated Sensor 2) Sensor Failure 3) Low Airflow. Alarm latched status will also display here.
- Toggle Velocity Unit Type: Instantly toggle displayed velocity units between m/s, fpm, or cfm by pressing on the displayed velocity reading on the home screen.
- Toggle Temperature Type: Instantly toggle displayed temperature units from Fahrenheit to Celsius or vice versa by pressing on the displayed temperature reading on the home screen.
- Password-Protected Access Tiers: Features Certifier & EH&S access tiers with advanced configuration options and features.
- USB Interface for Field Upgrade Procedure and Data Import/Export: Firmware upgrades can be installed on-site via USB flash drive. Users can also import/export Rooster™ settings and event log through the USB interface.
- Customizable Boot Screen: Users can configure their unit with a custom image or logo file (240x320) in portable network graphic (.png) format to display on bootup.
- Night Setback: Offers three convenient modes (Audible, Muted, or Off) of operation. The Rooster™ Sensor100 is a normally open (NO) device, to trigger audible or muted night setback, the dry contact relay must be closed.
- Alarm Latching: EH&S or Certifier users can setup latched alarms to indicate that a low airflow state has occurred in the "Alarm Controls" menu.
- Alarm Ringback: EH&S or Certifier users can configure the amount of snooze time before an alarm rings again after being muted in the "Alarm Controls" menu.
- Backlight Dimming: Users can toggle the brightness setting, as well as the brightness of the screen when set to "dim". A "time before dim" option is available that sets the screen to dim after a predetermined amount of time has expired.
- Airflow Resolution: For advanced users, displayed velocity units can be configured to display in an alternate resolution.
- Volumetric Flow Settings: The Sensor100 displays velocity flow by default. Display of volumetric flow is available for applications using the probe style sensor in a ducted flow.
- Analog Output: The Rooster™ Sensor100 has digital to analogue converter (DAC) output enabled, with correspondence to air velocity. There are four user selectable ranges to choose from, which the user will connect to pins 7 & 8 on the rear panel’s 8-position “Outputs” Connector.
- I/O Polarity: For advanced users, it may be helpful to toggle relay and input nodes from normally open to normally closed.
- Event Log: The Rooster™ logs the date and time of alarms and alarm recovery as well as system boot time to its internal SD card. Users can export the event log in .csv format to a USB thumb drive.
Maintenance Features:
- USB Field Upgrade Procedure: Firmware upgrades are crucial for maintaining the device. A Rooster™ with firmware preceding version 1.06 may be upgraded to version 1.06 using the bootloader. Existing calibration data will be lost, and all settings will be reset to factory defaults. This update should only be done during annual certification, where the certifier would be recalibrating anyway, OR, if the client approves forcing a recalibration.
- Soft Reboot from Info Screen: Allows for a soft reboot of the device from the info screen, which can be useful for troubleshooting or applying minor changes.
- Power Cycle Procedure: This procedure involves removing power from the Rooster™ Sensor100, inserting a USB thumb drive with new firmware, depressing and holding the "Home" button while reapplying power, and then releasing the "Home" button after the firmware update sequence begins. After approximately 3 seconds, release the Home button. After approximately 10 seconds, the LED on the front of the Rooster™ will light, and the unit will boot up with the new firmware.
- Factory Reset Procedure: The Master Reset will return the Rooster™ Sensor100 to its default alarm & input/output settings. Time and date will be preserved during a factory reset. The following factory reset procedure can be done at any time upon system reset to restore default settings and passwords. This involves following the above steps, when the 1st information screen displays, momentarily pressing the "Mute" key. The "Enter Factory Password" screen will display. The Factory Password is "5878" and cannot be changed. The Factory Menu will display. Depress "Reset to Factory Defaults". The factory-default certify password is "6425".
