Peripherals
If there are Raritan environmental sensor packages connected to the
PX3, they are listed on the Peripherals page. See
Connecting
Environmental Sensor Packages
(on page 53).
An environmental sensor package comprises one or some of the
following sensors/actuators:

Numeric sensors: Detectors that show both readings and states,
such as temperature sensors.

State sensors: Detectors that show states only, such as contact
closure sensors.

Actuators: An actuator controls a system or mechanism so it shows
states only.
The PX3 communicates with managed sensors/actuators only and
retrieves their data. It does not communicate with unmanaged ones. See
Managed vs Unmanaged Sensors/Actuators
(on page 181).
When the number of "managed" sensors/actuators has not reached the
maximum, the PX3 automatically brings newly-detected
sensors/actuators under management by default.
One PX3 can manage a maximum of 32 sensors/actuators.
Note: To disable the automatic management function, go to
PDU
(on
page 145). You need to manually manage a sensor/actuator only when it
is not under management.
When any sensor/actuator is no longer needed, you can
unmanage/release it.
Open the Peripherals page by clicking Peripherals in the
Menu
(on page
132). Then you can:

Perform actions on multiple sensors/actuators by using the
control/action icons on the top-right corner.
