Setting up email alerts
You can set up email alerts to notify you and others when alarms are triggered, and also send notification for
any of the following events:

AC Power - Reports a change in the state of AC power connected to your device. To monitor power,
connect your device permanently using a USB charger and enable the AC Power email alerts. The Cloud
sends an email if power fails and when power is restored.

Battery Low - Report when the battery in your device is low and needs re-charging. For uninterrupted data
recording, you can recharge at the site of the device using a USB 5V wall adapter or a portable USB battery
pack.
 Loss of Connection - Reports when regular transmissions from your device are not received. The Cloud
sends an email instructing you to check your WiFi network, device position, and battery charge.

Device Problems - Reports when there is a problem with your device, such as a disconnected probe or
readings out of range.
Complete the following steps to set up email alert recipients over the Cloud:
1. Click Email Alerts .
2. Enter a Name and Email Address and click .
3. Select the checkbox for each type alert to send to the recipient.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each email recipient you want to add.
5. Click Apply to save all recipients and settings.
Customizing email alerts
When you set up email alerts, only select those events that you want to generate emails. If you are only
interested in the measured alarm levels, deselect some other options you don’t need.
When you set-up an alarm level, you can delay the onset of the alarm by a selectable period of time. For
example, when monitoring the temperature of a chiller, you might not need to know if the temperature exceeds
the alarm level briefly (when someone opens and closes the door, for instance), but you do need to know if
someone leaves the door open. When using dual channel device devices, alarm delay is independently settable
for each channel.
