Configuring Inputs
Decide how your inputs will connect to the Spider.
As described earlier in
“
Inputs
”
, every Spider input can be configured
in one of the following seven modes: switch closure (digital), analog,
counter, event, daily total, utility meter, or disabled.
Switch, counter, event, daily total, and utility meter inputs accept
simple ON/OFF sensors. Analog inputs accept a variety of
transducers, such as temperature sensors and water level sensors.
For example, you may want to monitor only 3 Inputs. The first two
may be switch (digital) types, monitoring operating status of two
pumps. The third may be an analog input monitoring a tank level.
Assume that
“
Pump status 1
”
will connect to Input 1,
“
Pump status 2
”
to Input 2, and
“
Tank level
”
to Input 3. The remaining 5 inputs will be
disabled.
If not already displayed, access the
“ CHANGE SETUP ” page, as
described in Setting up a Spider for the First Time on page 32.
Click
“

”
.
Select
“
Switch
”
Input Type for the first two inputs and
“
Analog
”
for the
third. Select
“
Disabled
”
for the remaining five inputs. Enter
“
Pump
status 1
”
as the Input 1 Name,
“
Pump status 2
”
as the Input 2 Name,
and
“
Tank level
”
as the Input 3 Name.
