If installations need unusual amounts of time (more than one second), use the Set Poll Interval
from the Functions Menu to extend the poll interval use by IES. The new poll interval is assigned
to all marked sensors. (See
page 38
). If no IES is marked when this menu item is invoked, the new
poll interval is set for the currently highlighted IES only. The interval may range from 1 to 60
seconds.
Set Reboot Timeout
If a processor module fails to respond to a request by the IES, the IES assumes that the processor
has been reset. The IES waits the amount of time specified by the “reboot timeout” for the processor
to reboot and load the appropriate software. After this time period, if the device is still not
responding, the IES resets the processor. The default reboot timeout is 60 seconds.
The observed reboot timeout is dependent upon the poll interval. After resetting a processor, the
IES checks once per poll to determine if the time specified by the reboot timeout has elapsed, at
which time the IES resumes monitoring the processor module activity. Therefore, the reboot
timeout specified should be greater than the poll interval.
To modify the reboot timeout, select Set Reboot Timeout from the Functions Menu. The new reboot
timeout will be assigned to all marked sensors. (See
page 38
). If no IES is marked when this menu
item is invoked, the new reboot timeout is set for the currently highlighted IES only. Specify a
timeout value in the range of 1 to 3600 seconds.
Set Temperature Threshold
Each IES constantly monitors the temperature of the subsystem in which it resides. The current
temperature is displayed on the IES Status Screen. If the temperature exceeds a maximum
threshold, an alarm is generated. The default temperature threshold is 50 degrees Celsius; we
recommend a setting of 50 degrees if no air conditioning, and 40 degrees with air conditioning.
To modify the maximum temperature threshold, select Set Temperature Threshold from the
Functions Menu
. The new threshold is assigned to all marked sensors. (See
page 38
). If no IES is
marked when this menu item is invoked, the new threshold is set for the currently highlighted IES
only. Specify a temperature threshold from 1 to 70 degrees Celsius.
Note: Temperature is monitored in degrees Celsius only. A conversion chart (from degrees
Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit) is available through the Help Menu.
Set Date and Time
The date and time of the clock imbedded in the IES may be set to the date and time of the EMS
module. Mark the IES, and then select the Set Date and Time option from the Functions Menu. The
IES clock is used to time-stamp alarms.
To determine the current setting of the date and time in a subsystem, refer to the IES Detail display
(from the View IES Detail function).
