Geist RCX Series v3 - Manual (Page 38)

GM1111 38 Revision Date 4/3/2014
Analysis of each unit is recommended before setting alarm thresholds as some of the values
monitored by the unit are relative values, whose scale will differ slightly between units. Allow
each unit to operate under normal, steady state conditions for several hours before setting
alarm thresholds. By allowing the sensors to operate for several hours, the user can better
understand what the normal variations are; thereby allowing the user to choose alarm
thresholds that will not trigger numerous false alarms.
Alarms can be set to only send notification if the alarm is in a tripped state for a certain amount
of time. The user sets the amount of time required by entering a value from 0-240 minutes in
the text box on the Alarms page. Additionally, alarm notifications can be set to send multiple
notifications for an alarm that remains in a tripped state. The alarm notifications are set to
repeat at intervals of no repeat, 10, 30, or 60 minutes by selecting the desired option in the
drop down menu on the Alarms page.
Note: Changes in settings take a few moments to become active. Rapidly resetting alarm values may not
provide the desired results. Allow up to 2 minutes after changing a setting before modifying it again.
