Device Configuration Alarms
If you receive a Configuration Alarm, this indicates that your
device has stopped recording data history or was configured
incorrectly. This could be the result of being set to stop when
full, a delayed start, or the device could have an internal
error. This alarm can also be triggered if a channel has been
disabled in the device using vLog. To correct this issue, you
can verify or modify the Vaisala Veriteq device settings using
vLog. If the problem persists, contact your Vaisala technical
support representative. The default delay for configuration
alarms is 60 seconds. However this delay is bypassed for
certain alarm types such as Missing Channel alarms,
Configuration changes and Probe changes.
Device Validation Alarms
If you use a VL-type data logger, you’ll receive a Validation
alarm if the validation memory in the device is corrupted or
has been modified. Contact your Vaisala technical support
representative.
Device Calibration Alarms
If you use a VL-type device, Calibration Alarms send you
intermittent notification when your device is due for
calibration. You receive notifications at the following intervals:
3 months and 1 month before the calibration due date, then
again on the data logger’s scheduled recal date. This alarm
will remain active until the logger has been recalibrated.
