Page 37: Sensors
Sensors Overview All internal sensors are measured every 15 seconds. External sensors are measured every 15 to 30 seconds, depending on the number of devices connected. Sensor data collected by the 7M, 7N, 7S or 7W unit gives useful trend analysis data. While all values are not absolute in relation to a known unit, trend analysis of the data allows users to view changes and draw useful conclusions about what is happening over time in the monitored environment. -
