Custom Sensor Implementation
Custom sensor types or “wildcards” can be configured with the DVP-120. There are 8 Macurco sensor types and 21 custom sensor types
available. Though the Macurco sensor data cannot be changed, custom sensor parameters can be configured to define the sensor type:

From this menu, you can access any of the following menus to change type parameters using the navigation key up, down, left and right.
Type: 01 CO
Good definition
Figure 4-23.3 Sensor Definition
CO for carbon monoxide is one of the 8 Macurco sensor types already defined.
Type: 01
Tag: CO ♦
Figure 4-23.4 Sensor Tag
“Tag” is a 3-character parameter and is used to identify the sensor type (i.e. CO, EX...)
Type: 01 CO
Units: ppm ♦
Figure 4-23.5 Sensor Units
“Units” is a 4-character parameter and indicates the engineering units (i.e. ppm, %LEL…)
Type: 01 CO
Depletion: 0 No
Figure 4-23.6 Depletion Type
“Depletion” is “1” when the sensor is a depletion type and “0” when it is not a depletion type sensor. A depletion sensor detects when gas
concentrations in a space fall below a specified level.
Type: 01 CO
Dec.: 0
8888. ppm
Figure 4-23.7 Decimal Points
“Dec.” defines how many decimal points are used to display the reading, alarm, warning, range, rising and falling levels. It can have
values between 0 and 2.
