SECTION 11: NOTIFICATION SETTINGS
This section will guide you on how to enable and disable sensor inputs to suit your
application. On the website, you can edit the notification settings by clicking on the
bell icon, which is underneath the “Alarm Settings” column. If you are on the mobile
application, you will need to click on the device name, and then an action bar will
show up at the bottom of the screen, click on the bell icon.
1. The first input is for the Temperature Sensor. The left side of the screen has the
lower set point, and the right side is the upper set point. Any temperature below
the lower setpoint will put the device into alarm state. Also, a temperature above
the upper setpoint will put the device into alarm state. A reading that is in
between the upper and lower setpoint will not cause an alarm.
a. Delay of Temperature Alarms: This is the time for the delay of a Temperature
alarm. From the time that the temperature reading is out of range, the device
will not go into alarm state until the delay time is met. We recommend using a
delay of 5 minutes for this sensor. If you do not use a delay, then you will get
an alarm immediately if the temperature goes out of range. You may get
temperature alarms when the refrigerator/freezer are opened. This is most
likely not useful for most people.
b. Temperature Offset: The Offset feature is used to calibrate your temperature
sensor. In the first text box enter the number that you want to adjust the
temperature by. For example, if your current temperature reading from the
Freezer Sentry device is 34F, and the actual temperature in the freezer is 32F,
then you will enter 2.00 into the first text box and select the minus sign into
the operation text box to adjust the temperature reading to the correct
temperature value. Please note that it can take up to five minutes for the
offset value to take effect. Refresh your screen and refer to the Offset
Equation above to verify if the offset is applied as intended.
