Unit Configuration Page: The Unit configuration page allows the user to modify the Smart Tracker’s device information, operating attributes, select the time zone, set an NTP server address for time and date synchronization, and provide GPS location infor- mation. It allows the user to edit the high and low threshold points for voltage, current, temperature, and humidity. If an external temperature and humidity sensor has been purchased, the option to enable this feature is also found on this page. - Page 38 Name: This text field may be used to rename each unit or to reflect the organization who owns the unit. Location: Used to describe the location of the device. For example: Northeast corner of 1 and Main. Cabinet Information: Used to describe the enclosure and/or the equipment that may reside inside the enclosure. Timezone: This configuration item is used to set the time offset from UTC time.
- Page 39 Temperature Units: Allows user to change the unit of measure for the temperature. Values for the temperatures on the Summary page, Unit configuration page, and LCD will change when the unit of measure is changed. Temperature Low: This threshold can be adjusted to indicate when the internal temperature of the Smart Tracker has exceeded its low threshold value.
- Page 40 Email Notifications: When enabled, each Smart Tracker will send an email when one or more thresholds are exceed- ed. There is also the option of including state changes in emails whenever an outlet, relay, or input has changed state. Enable Timeout (Minutes): Allows the user to delay the frequency of emails, as the potential for several emails may exist at any one time.
- Page 41 High Current: This threshold can be adjusted to indicate the total current draw has exceeded its High value. When this occurs, the Smart Tracker will send an email notification to the list of recipients concerning the alarm. This feature is auto-correcting but the AC circuit breaker may trip on the unit, requiring a manual restart.
