5.5 Device Readings
The Device Readings box section is where you will see Aux 1, Aux 2, and 4-20 mA Input
readings. Readings are sent from the device to the portal hourly and can be requested at
any time by clicking the
Refresh
button. Refreshing the device readings will request new
readings from the device and display them once received.
Cycle Count
displays the number of times each Aux switch has cycled,
ON
and back
OFF
is one cycle. The time period of this count can be changed by selecting from the list of time
frames below the Cycle Count. Time periods are shown for the last hour, the last day, the
last week, the last month, and the life of the Phase Connect device. Aux
On Time
refers to
the amount of time each Aux switch has been in the closed, or
ON
, position. The
On Time
counts can be reset to 0 by clicking
Reset Time
below each count.
5.6 Controls
In the
Controls
section of the
Dashboard
, you have the ability to control two relays and
one 4-20 mA Output. To change the state of relays, click on the toggle next to the relay
you’d like to change then hit the
Send Commands
button. Likewise, to change the
4-20
mA Output
, type in the value you want the device to give and hit
Send Commands
. You
may send multiple commands at once. After sending commands to the device, a 20 second
countdown will begin, after which the portal will auto-refresh. This 20 second delay allows
the analog readings to reach or move toward their setpoint before updating the portal
readings.
5.7 Configuring Your Device
The
Config
page allows you to customize the
Dashboard
labels and the 4-20 mA settings.
For accurate 4-20 mA readings, you must set the range and the units of the transducer in
the
Analog Control Settings
box. Units can be psi (pounds per square inch), ft (feet), or
gpm (gallons per minute). To save configuration changes, you must click “Save” or “Save
and Deploy” before leaving the Config page.
Device location can be set on the Config page by scrolling down to the map and clicking on
the desired device location then clicking Save.
5.8 Programming Alerts
Alerts can be set up to monitor the status of Aux switches, 4-20 mA Input, and Online
Status. Alerts will be triggered when the portal receives hourly updates from the device or
upon manual refreshes of the
Dashboard
. After clicking on the
Alerts
tab, you will be
taken to the Alerts page, where you will see a list of previous alerts that have been
triggered.
The Alerts page is where you can Acknowledge alerts by clicking on the
Acknowledge
button on the right side of the list. Acknowledging an alert will remove it from the alert
counter in the
Device Status Bar
.
To view current alert rules or set up a new alert, click on the
Manage Alerts
button. This
will bring up a list of alert rules. To edit an alert rule, click on the rule you would like to edit.
To create a new alert rule, click the
Add Alert
button. Contacts can be notified via text or
email by clicking the
Add Contact
button and selecting the Contact or Group you would
like to be notified.
