Low Ref
User-definable lower reference/scaling level. This scales the information
collected by the sensor (in mA or VDC) to a meaningful unit for the user. For
example, for a temperature sensor, the lower input collected by the sensor
may be 4mA (for a 4-20mA sensor), which would correspond to a specific
temperature you define in this field.
High Ref
User-definable upper reference/scaling level. This scales the information
collected by the sensor (in mA or VDC) to a meaningful unit for the user. For
example, for a temperature sensor, the upper input collected by the sensor
may be 20mA (for a 4-20mA sensor), which would correspond to a specific
temperature you define in this field.
Thresholds
These settings are set to indicate the severity of the alarm depending on
which threshold values have been passed. Enter values for Major Under
(MjU), Minor Under (MnU), Minor Over (MnO), and Major Over (MjO).
6.3.11 Sensors (Provisioning)
The RPS AB6 supports up to 16 daisy-chained D-Wire sensors via its D-Wire input. Sensors connected
to the NetGuardian will appear on the NetGuardian's web interface. The background color of the ROM
field informs the user of the sensor's configuration state.
By default, the RPS AB6's first D-Wire sensor is used to monitor the internal temperature. When no
additional sensors are plugged in, ID #1 will refer to the RPS AB6's internal temperature. The internal
temperature sensor measures a range of -40° F to 180° F (-40° C to 82.2° C) within an accuracy of
about ± 2°. Before plugging in any addition D-Wire sensors, be sure to set up the internal sensor.
Basic configuration for the NetGuardian's D-Wire temperature sensors can be accomplished from the
Provisioning > Sensors menu. From this screen, you can configure D-Wire sensors, select
notification devices, and set thresholds.
