Chapter 2: Software

Channel Enabled: This box provides a simple means to enable or disable a sensor channel.

Add to Datalog: Click this box to store the value or status of the channel in the datalogger.

Value: This is the current value of the sensor connected to the channel (only valid for analog sensor types).

Min: This is the minimum value reached by the sensor since it was connected to the unit.

Max: This is the maximum value reached by the sensor since it was connected to the unit.

Calibration: Enter a positive or negative offset in this field to calibrate the sensor value.

High Limit: Enter the sensor high alarm limit in this field. When the value exceeds this limit for the duration of the recognition time, and if the channel is enabled, an alarm will be tripped.

Low Limit: Enter the sensor low alarm limit in this field. When the value falls below this limit for the duration of the recognition time, and if the channel is enabled, an alarm will be tripped.

Alarm Class: Click the drop down arrow and select the appropriate class for this sensor/channel. If you prefer you can create your own classes on the Class Setup screen.

Wait (Recognition) Time: This is the time required for a fault condition to qualify as an alarm event. The sensor/channel must remain beyond the limits or in a fault condition continuously for this entire period of time in order to become an alarm.

Reset Time: This is the time allowed for an acknowledged alarm’s fault condition to be corrected before the RIM-600 resets (reactivates) the alarm and begins the message delivery process all over again. The minimum reset time is 30 minutes.

Alarm on Return to Normal: This feature makes the unit send a message (or messages) when a condition has moved within its programmed alarm limits or has gone from an alarm state to a Normal state. The person who acknowledged the alarm—in addition to all Inform Only contacts in the alarm class—will receive the message.

SNMP Trap Level: When sending alarm messages via SNMP, this sets the priority of the SNMP trap. The choices are Major or Minor.
