Sensor Settings Description
Description The description of the sensor that will be viewed in the Summary page and in the body of alert
messages
Units This lets the operator choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit as the temperature
measurement unit.
Min. Level Displays the minimum value that this sensor will report
Max. Level Displays the maximum value that this sensor will report
Minimum Non-Critical -
Threshold
The user must define the lowest acceptable value for the sensors. If the sensor measures a
value below this threshold, the sensor will move to non-critical alert status. The assigned value
should be
within the range defined by Minimum Level and Maximum Level and
lower than the assigned Maximum Threshold value.
If values out of the range are entered, and error message will be shown.
Maximum Non-Critical
Threshold
The user must define the highest acceptable value for the sensors. If the sensor measures a
value above this threshold, the sensor will move to non-critical alert status. The assigned value
should be
within the range defined by Minimum Level and Maximum Level and
higher than the assigned Minimum Threshold value.
If values out of the range are entered, and error message will be shown.
Minimum Critical Threshold The user must define the lowest acceptable value for the sensors. If the sensor measures a
value below this threshold, the sensor will move to alert status. The assigned value should be
within the range defined by Minimum Level and Maximum Level,
lower than the assigned Maximum Threshold value, and
lower than the Minimum Non-Critical Threshold value.
If values out of the range are entered, and error message will be shown.
Maximum Critical Threshold The user must define the highest acceptable value for the sensors. If the sensor measures a
value above this threshold, the sensor will move to alert status. The assigned value should be
within the range defined by Minimum Level and Maximum Level,
higher than the assigned Minimum Threshold value, and
higher than the Maximum Non-Critical Threshold value.
If values out of the range are entered, and error message will be shown.
Enable Disconnection Alert If this sensor is disconnected its status will change to alarm and an alert will be sent
Refresh Rate Determines how often the displayed sensor value is refreshed on the Sensor page. A numeric
value and a measurement unit (minimum 1 seconds, maximum 999 minutes) should be entered.
Enable Graph Apply a checkmark if graphs are desired for this sensor. Up to 150 sensor graphs are
supported. This is checked by default until 150 sensors or more are being monitored.
Group Settings Description
Group Assign the sensor to any or all groups 1 -8 (see also page 44)
