AC Fault
If checked, an AC fault condition on a connected device will generate an email alert .
Battery Backup Time
If checked, an alert will be generated if the required standby time is not able to be met with the installed battery .
Current Sensor 1
If checked, a current outside the range set for Current Sensor 1 will generate an email alert .
External Temperature
If checked, an external temperature outside of the range set will generate an email alert . (NL4 Only)
Event1
If checked, a valid input on the Event1 Input will generate an email alert .
FAI Active
If checked, an active FAI Input on a connected device will cause an email alert .
Current Sensor 2
If checked, a current outside the range set for Current Sensor 2 will generate an email report . (NL4 Only)
Battery End of Life
If checked, an email alert will be sent when the Battery Runtime of the connected device reaches the "Rated
Battery Life" setting on the Configure page . When a new battery is installed, the "Reset Timer for New Battery
Installation" box on the Programming page should be set to reset the Battery Runtime counter .
Battery Condition
An email alert will be sent when the battery charge is less than 20% (one yellow bar on the "Bat . Condition"
display on the power supply page) .
ADC1 Reading
If checked, a voltage outside the range set for ADC1 will generate an email report .
Service Reminder
An email alert will be sent when the "Next Service Due" date and time on the Configure page are reached .
Device Detect
An email alert will be sent when a device (FPO, M8) is connected or disconnected from the Netlink board . This

devices will show here, along with a section for the Netlink itself .
The Netlink and each device also have selectable parameters listed below their headings . Checking these parameters will add them
to the report attached to the email alert . These are the same parameters as seen on the Home page .
Available Netlink parameters include: enclosure temperature, external temperature, current sensor readings, the ADC1 reading, and the
Event Status (these may appear as the labels set on the Configure page) .
Available FPO parameters include: Model Number, System Fault Status, AC Fault Status, FAI Status, FAI Latch Status, FPO Output
Voltage, Battery Voltage, Battery Charge Current, Total Power-up time, Battery Installed time, AC Fault Total, System Fault Total, Battery
State Of Charge, Battery Runtime Test Total, Battery Runtime Test Failed Total, Required Standby, and Actual Standby .
M8 parameters are set on the M8's configure page (NL4 only - see the M8 Manual for more information) .
After setting the devices and parameters to be reported, be sure to click the "Submit" button for each device .
