Parameter Description
Sensor name The name given to the EMP. Dell recommends using a name that
identifies the location of the EMP.
Temperature Choice of the temperature unit (°C or °F) from the list.
High threshold (temperature) If the temperature exceeds the set threshold, a notification is triggered if
enabled. The default value is 40°C / 104°F.
Low threshold (temperature) If the temperature falls below the set threshold, a notification is triggered
if enabled. The default value is 5°C / 41°F.
Hysteresis (temperature) Hysteresis must be set to prevent multiple notifications if temperature
fluctuates around a threshold. The default value is 2°C / -3.6°F.
The high alarm disappears when the value drops below the high threshold
minus hysteresis value.
The low alarm disappears when the value returns above the low threshold
plus the hysteresis value.
High threshold (humidity) If the humidity exceeds the set threshold, a notification is triggered if
enabled. The default value is 90%.
Low threshold (humidity) If the humidity falls below the set threshold, a notification is triggered if
enabled. The default value is 5%.
Hysteresis (humidity) Hysteresis must be set to prevent multiple notifications if humidity
fluctuates around a threshold. The default value is 5%.
The high alarm disappears when the value drops below the high threshold
minus the hysteresis value.
The low alarm disappears when the value returns above the low threshold
plus the hysteresis value.
Input #1 and Input #2 An identifier corresponding to the acquired contact (for example: rack
door, air conditioning, or generator unit). The maximum length is 28
characters.
when closed and when open The names associated with the two contact positions (for example “open”
and “closed” for a door, “on” and “off” for a generator).
