Room Alert 32S (RA32S-DAP-RAS)
Analog Sensor Settings
You may configure the 0-5 VDC analog sensor connected to your device’s built-in analog ports
in these fields.
In the example below, we are configuring AVTECH’s Current Loop 1
.
1. First, enable the sensor by selecting
Enabled
in the set of fields to the right of the
sensor configurations. The built-in analog sensor will not appear in the Room Alert web
account or SNMP program unless it is enabled.
2.
In the set of fields toward the bottom of the sensor configurations, select
Enabled
to
turn on the
Reference
,
Scale
and
Unit
fields.
• In Reference, enter values from 5 to 0 that represent the
High
and
Low
points of
your analog sensor’s output signal range. In the case of the Current Loop 1, which
outputs a signal of 0-5 VDC, we’ve left the default values.
• In
Scale
, enter the
High
and
Low
points of the scale you want the Reference reading
to be converted to. In our Current Loop example, we would like to convert 0-5 volts
to 0-10 amps, so we’ve replaced the default of 5 in
High
with 10 and left the default
of 0 in
Low
.
• In
Unit
, enter a 1 to 3-character label for the unit type that your readings will be
measured in. If you are measuring amperage, as with the Current Loop, you might
enter “A” or “Amp,” for example. Note that this field is merely a label and does not
affect any of the calculations.
3.
Return to the upper section of the sensor configurations to enter your sensor label and
thresholds:
• In
Sensor Label
, you may leave the default, “Analog 1” or choose something more
descriptive, such as “Current Loop 1” or “Cryogenic Temp.”
Tip
Room Alert 32S sensor labels may be up to 30 characters and can include the
following: letters, numbers, spaces, and special characters.
