automatically reboot and commit your changes.
TIP
Analog Sensor Settings
( Room Alert 32E/W & 12E)
If your Room Alert model has built-in analog input ports, you may configure the 0-5 VDC analog
sensor connected to them in these fields.
In the example below, we are configuring AVTECH’s Current Loop 1.
1.
First, enable the sensor by selecting
Enabled
in the set of fields on the left of the screen.
The built-in analog sensor will not appear in the Room Alert web interface, Device
ManageR, GoToMyDevices or SNMP program unless it is enabled.
2.
In the set of fields on the right of the screen, select
Enable
to turn on the Reference,
Scale and Units fields.
•
In Reference, enter values from 5 to 0 that represent the High and Low points of your
analog sensor’s output signal range. In the case of the Current Loop 1, which outputs a
signal of 0-5 VDC, we’ve left the default values.
•
In Scale, enter the High and Low points of the scale you want the Reference reading to
be converted to. In our Current Loop example, we would like to convert 0-5 volts to 0-
10 amps, so we’ve replaced the default of 5 in High with 10 and left the default of 0 in
Low.
•
In Units, enter a 1 to 3-character label for the unit type that your readings will be
measured in. If you are measuring amperage, as with the Current Loop, you might
enter “A” or “Amp,” for example. Note that this field is merely a label and does not
affect any of the calculations.
3.
Return to the left side of the screen to enter your sensor label and thresholds:
•
In Sensor Label, you may leave the default, “Analog Sensor 1” or choose something
The options in the Sensor Alarm Configuration fields vary slightly depending on the
type of digital sensor.
