Remove Sensors

The Remove Sensors button removes all selected sensors from Collector. Follow the steps

below to remove a sensor:
1 Checkmark the sensor(s) to be removed.

2 Click the Remove Sensors button.

3 When a confirmation message appears, click OK. The screen will refresh and the de-

leted sensor(s) will be removed from Collector.
