System and Control Options

7.5.1Identify the Sensor as Connected

To make use of an analog sensor, you must specify it as Connected (Y). By default, analog sensors are Not connected (N).

Disconnecting a sensor will turn off staging for that sensor’s zone if staging has been turned on for the zone (see 7.10.6 - Specify Staging for details on staging).

•From the Setup Sensor Menu, choose Connected, as shown at right, and press Enter ↵ .

• To change this feature, use the arrows ↑↓ to choose Y (Yes - Con- nected) or N (No - Not connected), then press Enter ↵ .

7.5.2Change Sensor Label (Name)

Each sensor has a default label (Sensor_1, Sensor_2, etc.) that you may change to a more descriptive name. The label may consist of up to eight characters (see Table 14 for valid characters).

•From the Setup Sensor Menu, choose Label for the selected sen- sor—Label: Sensor_1 in the example—and press Enter ↵ .

•To change the sensor’s label, which may consist of up to eight char- acters:

•Use the arrows ↑↓ to choose a character.

•Press Enter ↵ to advance to the next character position.

•When finished, press Enter ↵ again.

7.5.3Change Units Label

For each sensor, you may use a three-character label to specify mea- surement units, such as DEG (see Table 14 for valid characters).

•From the Setup Sensor Menu, choose Units for the selected sensor and press Enter ↵ .

•To enter the units label, which may consist of up to three charac- ters:

•Use the arrows ↑↓ to choose a character.

•Press Enter ↵ to advance to the next character position.

•When finished, press Enter ↵ again.
