Digital Sensors
The alert thresholds for attached Digital Temperature Sensors are entered in the ‘Sensor # Alarm Confi guration’
sections with ‘#’ representing the digital port number the sensor is connected to. Sensor 1 is the internal
temperature sensor and Sensors 2 and 3 are the external temperature sensors. The sensor label for that
corresponding sensor can be updated in the fi eld below the ‘Sensor Label’. High and low thresholds for the
temperature are entered in the ‘High’ and ‘Low’ columns. Temperature thresholds must be entered in the
temperature scale selected on the ‘Advanced’ tab. If the sensor readings differ from a known temperature at the
sensor location, they can be calibrated using the ‘Adjust’ column.
Digital sensors are those that provide real-time variable status values that can be used to obtain a more
defi nitive understanding of a current sensor’s status, allow products like Device ManageR and other
monitoring software to monitor at multiple thresholds and be logged for historical reference. These
values are included within alert messages for a clearer understanding by recipients and used for trending
or manipulation into graphs or charts via other applications. These sensors attach to various AVTECH
hardware via RJ-11 cable to an external environment sensor channel. Current sensors providing real-
time values include the AVTECH Digital Temperature Sensor, AVTECH Digital Temperature/Humidity
Sensor and AVTECH Digital Power Sensor.

Switch Sensors
Alert thresholds for switch sensors connected to the Room Alert 4E ID Box are set by specifying either
‘Closed’ or ‘Open’. Please refer to the documentation received for any switch sensors purchased to
determine the ‘normal’ state (open or closed) of the sensor. Next, select the opposite state (i.e. not
normal) to confi gure the Room Alert 4E ID Box to send an alert when the alarm condition exists.
