If the sensor is changed for an activated input, and then the page saved, an option will appear asking if
the change should be backdated to historical data or only apply from that point in time. See the
consumption section for more information on setting up current inputs in relation to consumption
calculations in kWh.
5.7.4 - Consumption
This is relevant if voltage and current inputs are connected, or if just current is connected on a mains
powered node and an assumed voltage has been entered for that current input, to enable high frequency
conversion of amps to watt.
The value in kWh can be overridden to a user entered value, relevant to a specified time (which must be a
time near the actual time of entering it in these settings) so that the value will be synchronised with
another counter.
5.7.5 – Thermistor
Thermistor inputs are automatically activated when physically connected. A thermistor input needs to be
assigned a sensor, so that the value can be given in terms of your chosen temperature unit (see the
general settings for the
Entranet
:
Administration Settings
). Enter the manufacturer first, then the sensor
category, then the sensor label here. If the sensor is not available it needs to be added to the library (See
Section 5.8 - Adding Sensors for
EnCompass
Inputs, P19).
If the sensor is changed for an activated input, and then the page saved, an option will appear
asking if the change should be backdated to historical data or only apply from that point in time.
5.7.6 - Status / Pulse
Any digital input to be used needs to be assigned a mode:
•
Record All Changes
– This will ignore the sampling interval and give data values whenever the
input changes between
On
and
Off
.
•
Take Regular Snapshots
– The state of the input will be recorded, using the sampling interval of
the
EnCompass
.
•
Keep Pulse Count
– A running total will be recorded, using the sampling interval of the
EnCompass
. A unit can be specified, which will be appended when data is displayed. A conversion
factor can be entered, such that the number of pulses multiplied by this factor is equal to the
number of specified units. If the conversion factor is changed for an activated input, and then the
page saved, an option will appear asking if the change should be backdated to historical data or
only apply from that point in time. Once the conversion factor has been entered, the value (in
specified units) can be overridden to a user entered value, relevant to a specified time (which must
be a time near the actual time of entering it in these settings) so that the value will be
synchronised with another counter.
If the unit is powered by mains power any of the thermistor inputs can be used as digital inputs,
giving you up to five additional inputs for status / pulse. The mode of these inputs can be altered
on this page.
