Yellow- or Red-Highlighted Sensors
The PDU highlights the sensors entering the abnormal state with a yellow or red color. Note that numeric sensors can
change colors only after you have enabled their thresholds.
Tip: When an dry contact is turned ON, it is also highlighted in red for drawing attention.
For concepts of thresholds, deassertion hysteresis, assertion timeout, and coloring see
page 50).
Managed vs. Unmanaged Sensors/Dry Contacts
To manually manage or unmanage/release a sensor or dry contact, see
Managed sensors/dry contacts:

The PDU communicates with managed sensors/dry contacts and retrieves their data.

Managed sensors/dry contacts are always listed on the Peripheral Devices page no matter they are physically
connected or not.
