Installation Verify Wireless Signal Strength After temporarily mounting the wireless sensors in the desired location, verify the signal strength at the console by performing the following procedure to verify the signal strength of each programmed wireless sensor. It may take as long as 30 seconds to acquire the current signal strength.
Adding Wired Sensors Adding Wired Sensors Adding a Wired Sensor The procedure shown below adds a wired blue temperature sensor, but is applicable to other wired sensors as well. The Hysteresis setting helps prevent alarms from being set and reset continually if the environment is at or near the alarm set point by providing an acceptable variance.
Installation Adding a 4-20mA Sensor There are some additional parameters to configure with this type of sensor, including Unit of Measure and Resolution. 4-20mA sensors can be used for monitoring a variety of conditions because the measured value corresponds to a current level, which is configured to represent the conditions being monitored. Follow the steps outlined below to add a 4-20mA sensor.
Configuring the Relays Configuring the Relays When all sensors have been added, you may change the default relay configurations. If the defaults are acceptable, it is not necessary to configure the relays. Perform the following procedure to configure all relays used: Note: The default relay settings are: •...
