General Setup
For general setup, use the
General
tab on the ORB webserver. Remember to save when complete.
1.
Give the ORB a name that is meaningful
to the user, in this case, “House Tank
Level.”
2.
To save energy, the ORB is set to wake
up every 10 minutes (600 seconds),
report the level and then return to sleep.
3.
Set the Transmit Interval to 1 so that the
level is sent each time it is measured.
4.
There are no warnings or alarms used in
this application that require faster
updates be sent and so the Exception
Interval is set to be the same as the
transit interval. Note that if alerts are
more important than actual levels, that
the transmit interval could be set to only
transmit say once a day. The ORB would
wake every 10 minutes, check the levels
and only transmit if there was a warning
or alarms. Power would be saved in this
way. If the Exception Interval was set to
1, then the ORB would transmit on every
measurement whilst a warning or alarm
was current.
5.
The
Device Always On
and
Web Server
Always On
options are both not ticked in
order to save power.
6.
If AA batteries are being used as a
backup to power the ORB, then an alert
should be set for when the batteries are low.
7.
If solar is being used to power the ORB, then a warning indicating that the internal backup battery is low,
should be set. This is likely if the solar installation has been damaged or it is covered with dust or other
substances.
