Liebert EM manual Sensors Window, Configure Sensors

Getting Started With the Web Interface

5.3Sensors Window

The Sensors tab provides access to sensor-related data and settings, including:

•Setting thresholds that will trigger alerts for each sensor (see 5.3.1 - Configure Sensors)

•Creating display names for any sensor (see 5.3.2 - Create or Change Sensor Names)

•Viewing graphs of sensor readings and thresholds (see 5.3.3 - View Sensor Graphs)

5.3.1Configure Sensors

The Sensor Data window allows you to set the high and low limits that will trigger alarms for any sensor. You also may specify rearm and calibration values for some sensors.

To access the Sensor Data window, log in (see 5.1 - Open the Web Interface and Log In) and:

1.Click on the Sensors tab at the top of the Web interface, as shown below.

2.Select a sensor from either list:

a.Connected sensors list

OR

b.Drop-down list

1. Sensors tab

3.View selected sensor data

4. Set thresholds:

a. Critical & Warning limits

OR

b.Normal State

5. Rearm

7. Refresh	Sensor Names	Graph (see	6. Calibration
button	(see Section 5.3.2)	Section 5.3.3)

2.Select a sensor from either of the two lists on the left side of the window:

a.To configure a sensor that is connected to the unit, click on a link in the connected sensors list. This list displays only sensors that are connected to the Sensor ports.

b.To configure sensors that are not connected to the unit, click on the Down arrow to the right of the drop-down list and select a name from the list. This list includes all sensors the unit can recognize, allowing you to configure sensors even when they are not connected.

3.The right side of the window displays identifying information for the selected sensor, along with color-coded text showing its most recent status and current reading. See Table 10 for details.

4.Set the sensor’s thresholds that will trigger alerts, as described in 4.4 - Thresholds in the Web Interface. Depending on the type of sensor:

a.For a temperature or humidity sensor, use the Critical and Warning text boxes to set high and low thresholds.

b.For a dry-contact sensor, click in the Normal State box and select Normally Open or Normally Closed to define the sensor’s normal state.

5.If the sensor has a Rearm box, you may enter a value to define how much the sensor’s reading must change beyond the threshold in either direction before its state is changed. This feature prevents the unit from generating excessive alerts if a sensor’s value repeatedly moves slightly above or below a threshold.

6.If the sensor has a Calibration box, you may enter a value to be added to the sensor reading to create an adjusted reading. For example, if you set the Calibration to -2 for a temperature sensor,

areading of 85°F will be adjusted to 83°F. Valid entries are integers ranging from -10 to 10.

7.At any time, click on the Refresh button to update the sensor’s Status and Current Value.

8.Click on the Apply button to keep your changes. (Or click Reset to cancel the changes.)
