4.4.1Temperature/Humidity Sensor Thresholds
Temperature and humidity sensors have four thresholds: High Critical, High Warning, Low Warning and Low Critical. The Normal range is determined by these limits. Table 7 shows examples of limits for these types of sensors. Each level is

Using the examples of temperature sensor limits in Table 7, the following is a typical scenario:
•The temperature of a monitored area rises to 90°F. The status changes at two points:
•The status changes to High Warning when the temperature reaches 75°F. The name of the sensor, the current reading and the status are displayed in yellow text in the Web interface.
•As the temperature continues to rise, the status changes to High Critical at 85°F (displayed in red text).
•At each change in status, the unit sends alerts if it is configured to do so.
•When the temperature falls to 74°F, the status changes to Normal (displayed in green text) and a
•When a sensor is disconnected from the unit, its status changes to Not Present (black text) and the sensor’s name appears in gray text.

•The sensor’s normal state is defined as Normally Open.
•When the contact closes, the sensor’s status changes to Critical (displayed in red text). The unit sends alerts, if it is configured to do so.
•When the state changes again (the contact opens), the sensor’s status changes to Normal (dis- played in green text) and a
