Description
Sensor Name
Configure the name of a sensor (or device) with up to 15 characters.
Set Point
The threshold of a sensor (Temperature or Humidity) will trigger an
alarm, whenever the measurement is over (high) or under (low) the
set point. If the checkbox is not filled, the threshold is disabled and
the alarm will not be triggered. The valid range for the Temperature
threshold setting is 5 to 65, and 5 to 95 for Humidity.
Calibration Offset
If the measurement value of a sensor doesn't, for whatever reason,
comply with the actual environment, the 'Calibration Offset' setting
can be configured to adjust the final value of the sensor. For example,
if a sensor reports 43% humidity for a 45% humidity environment, the
user can configure the humidity offset as 2% so the sensor can then
adjust its final value to 45%.
Alarm Type
If an alarm sensor (water leak, security, etc) is connected to the IP
Power Manager, the user can configure the alarm as 'Disabled',
'Normal Open', or 'Normal Close'. A 'Disabled' setting will mean the
alarm is inactive. 'Normal Open' and 'Normal Close' are used for a
two-wire detector that will emulate an open/close state. When the
wires are closed to 'loop-back' (the signal for the sensor), the sensor
will detect the state as closed. The sensor will NOT activate the alarm
for 'Normal Close' in this case, although the alarm will be activated if
configured as 'Normal Open'.
EMD Status
The EMD can be configured as 'Disabled' or 'Auto'. The setup should
be configured as 'Disabled' if an EMD is not attached to the port. The
EMD type will be auto detected by the IP Power Manager if
configured as 'Auto' and if the EMD is plugged into the port.
