4.If desired, edit the existing name of the digital input by clicking in the Unique name ﬁeld and typing a new name. The name cannot contain any spaces. The only special character allowed is the underscore (_).

5.If desired, set the threshold for the digital input by clicking Application - Thresholds. For instructions, refer to Setting Thresholds in Chapter 4.

6.Click Save to save the changes made to the digital input(s). - or -

Click Cancel to cancel the updates. Canceling displays the last saved value for the digital input in the Current Value cell for the entire tab.

Configuring Analog Inputs and Internal Sensors

After installing the EVR1500 environmental monitor appliance and configuring the network, you can configure, rename and test analog inputs and internal sensors through the Configuration tab window. Before configuring analog input sensors, be sure you have the necessary information, including input voltage range and convert value range. Typically, each analog sensor is shipped with the sensor’s input voltage range and a conversion table showing the actual values interpreted from the voltages. For example, a temperature sensor might have a voltage range of Ø to 5 volts with a conversion range of 5 degrees F (Farenheit) to 140 degrees F.

To conﬁgure analog inputs and internal sensors:

1.After launching the web GUI, click Conﬁguration - Analog Inputs. The Analog Inputs table lists eight inputs, corresponding to the eight RJ-45 connectors on the back of the appliance. Also displayed are the four internal sensors (Temperature, Humidity, Air Flow and Audio) at the bottom of the table.

2.Click the row containing the analog input you wish to conﬁgure. The analog input information displays in the dialog box.

NOTE: In Figure 3.10, the last two digits in the sensor’s default name represent the port connecting the sensor. It is good practice to use this format when naming sensors.
