Example: How to configure UPS temperature Custom Thresholds
Electrical devices operate safely between a minimum and a maximum temperature grade. Running a device exceeding these conditions
may cause issues. These issues may vary starting from simple defects up to acute fire hazards.
In order to be able to intervene in time, therefore, a predetermined temperature value must be compared with the measured
temperatures.
As an example, the manufacturer of a device specifies the "safe operating temperature" between + 5 ° C and + 39 ° C:
The CS141 can configured to warn if these values will be exceeded - the condition out of range first defines the safe temperature range.
As mentioned, two menus are required to configure Custom Thresholds:
- Custom Thresholds:
The first setting is made under Custom Thresholds where the appropriate values are set.
Enabling the checkbox UPS Temperature will include measuring values according to the UPS. For the argument out of range you need
to specify both - the lowest temperature value and the highest temperature value.
Note:
Since this is the warning, it should be sent before reaching critical values.
Due to the fact the minimum of + 5 ° C and a maximum of + 39 °C is predefined by manufacturer, the values for warning levels must be
corrected accordingly. In this example the decision is made to use 5°C:
Min: 10°C
Max: 34°C
Save your entries and move to the next menu:
- USP events
Search for temperature threshold entries to be found at UPS events. Unlike the Custom Thresholds menu, each Threshold is displayed
as regular system events and shows all possible states:
Since Custom Thresholds can be configured like regular UPS events, all jobs are available. If necessary, counter jobs can be defined
according to temperature.
Setting up Alarm Levels
The alarm levels represent an escalation level and, if necessary, should trigger emergency measures, the values must be adjusted
accordingly to warning levels.
Please note, since the condition for an alarm is fulfilled in addition to existing warning levels, configured jobs can be executed in parallel,
overlap or even contradict or cancel each other out.
