Alarm Actions

 – sets the action(s) to be taken if Alarm State is set to ON, and the temperature exceeds any of the 

Very High / High / Low / Very Low thresholds shown to the right.   Alarm Actions are configured as 

En

 where 

n

 

corresponds to the Email Address index number on the Email Alerts tab, and 

Tn

 where 

n

 corresponds to the SNMP 

Manager index number on the SNMP Alerts tab.  Multiple actions are listed with no delimiters, so for example: 

T1T2E2E3

 would send a trap to SNMP Managers 1 and 2, and an Email message to Email Addresses 2 and 3.  

 

Deadband

 – sets the range, in degrees, on either side of a temperature setting that prevents the event from 

repeatedly going in and out of the "event state" as the actual temperature fluctuates above and below the temperature 
setting.  Default setting is 3 degrees. 
 

Very High / High / Low / Very Low Temp

 – are the settings for each of four temperature thresholds that the S420 

can alarm on.  If Alarm State is set to ON, and the temperature rises above the High and Very High settings, the Alarm 
Actions will take effect.  Same process if the temperature drops below either the Low or Very Low settings.  Default 
settings are:  Very High (120), High (100), Low (40), Very Low (32).  
 

Very High / High / Low / Very Low Severity

 – displays a drop down menu of four descriptive words – Info, Minor, 

Major, Critical – that allow you to assign a severity rating to this alarm.  This word will appear in an SNMP Trap alert, 
but does not appear in an Email alert.  Default setting for all is “Info”.  
 

Contacts Tabs (S420-0 only) 

Displays contacts 1 thru 4 or 5 thru 8 depending on which tab is selected.
