Alarms are triggered based on the selected sensor’s data and the trip threshold type and value.
Alarm settings can be edited or deleted at any time.
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.
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.
