Threshold Templates
Threshold settings are assigned to Locations, to define the conditions
that trigger alarms. For example:
• Greater than 23.00 C for more than 1 minute, or,
• Less than 37.76 RH for more than 15 minutes
Threshold settings can be applied with or without templates, but a
Threshold template makes it easy to apply similar parameters to
several Locations, with single or multiple-threshold settings.
Users with can create a new Threshold template, or simply modify
one of the two default templates, High Temp and Low Temp.
Note: If threshold settings are applied to a Location, and con-
ditions exceed these settings, the Default Threshold Alarm
Template is automatically activated. To learn about Alarm
Template settings, see “Alarm Templates” on page 51.
Alarm settings can indicate whether the alarm is a mild concern
(indicated with a yellow bar, perhaps when conditions are nearing
Threshold) or an extreme concern (indicated with a red bar, when a
condition exceeds Threshold).
For
example, you could set a yellow alarm to trigger first,
automatically
sending an Email to someone who needs to know
within a few minutes of the minor condition alert. For a red alarm,
you could set the alarm condition to a longer time (15 minutes out of
threshold) and send the Email to a lab manager, or a distribution list
of people who need to be notified to take action.
