Chapter 12: Configuring Sensors
The various models support different sensors. An overview is available in Chapter
2:
.
egnite Querx can inform you if the following critical environmental conditions
occur:
Lower alert threshold value transgressed
Lower warning threshold value transgressed
Upper alert threshold value transgressed
Upper warning threshold value transgressed
Values falling too rapidly
Values rising too rapidly
The configuration iworks identical for all sensors. The only exception are the
alerts for falling and rising calculated values, such as the dew point. The following
sections explain how to configure the temperature sensor, but are also applicable
to the other sensors that are supported by other models.
Monitoring Threshold Values
Two upper and lower thresholds can be set up for each sensor. As soon as one of
these values is transgressed, the device will switch into alert mode.
In some applications, temporary transgressions of a threshold may be tolerable.
When monitoring a refrigerator, for instance, an alert should not be triggered
each time the door is opened. Configuring a delay can prevent this from
happening by specifying a certain period of time during which the limit needs to
be transgressed before an alert is triggered.
