Settings View
To edit the operational settings for a sensor, choose the “
Sensor
” option in the main
navigation menu then select the “
Settings
” tab to access the configuration page.
A. Sensor Name
is a unique name you give
the sensor to easily identify it in a list and in any
notifications.
B.
The
Scale
sets the temperature that the data is
displayed in. It will either be Fahrenheit or Celsius.
C.
Display Mode
sets the display mode of the
data. Ability to set thresholds available only for the
displayed values.
D.
Heartbeat Interval
is how often the sensor
communicates with the gateway while in the Aware
State.
E. Aware State Heartbeat
is how often the sensor
communicates with the gateway while in the Aware
state.
F. Sensor is on
is the time of day the sensor is
actively working. No communication will be sent
while the sensor is hibernating.
G. Below
is the minimum setting for your Carbon
Monoxide (CO) sensor. This should be set to zero.
PAGE 10
The default heartbeat interval is 120 minutes or two hours. It is recommended that you do
not lower your heartbeat level too much because it will drain the battery.
Finish by selecting the “Save” button.
Note:
Be sure to select the “Save” button anytime you make a change to any of the sensor parameters. All
changes made to the sensor settings will be downloaded to the sensor on the next sensor heartbeat (check-
in). Once a change has been made and saved, you will not be able to edit that sensor’s configuration again
until it has downloaded the new setting.
H. Above
is the maximum allowable presence of Carbon Monoxide in the atmosphere.
I. Concentration Aware State Buffer
is a buffer to prevent the sensor from bouncing
between Standard Operation and Aware State when the assessments are very close to a
threshold.
J. Time to Re-Arm
is the time in seconds after triggering event that the sensor will wait
before re-arming itself.
K. Failed Transmissions before link mode
is the number of transmissions the sensor
sends without response from a gateway before it goes to battery saving link mode. In link
mode, the sensor will scan for a new gateway and if not found will enter battery-saving
sleep mode for up to 60 minutes before trying to scan again. A lower number will allow
sensors to find new gateways with fewer missed readings. Higher numbers will enable the
sensor to remain with its current gateway in a noisy RF environment better. (Zero will cause
the sensor to never join another gateway to find a new gateway the battery will have to be
cycled out of the sensor.)
