Configure pins and protocols
5. Select the analog input for your sensor:
Analog: 4-20mA Current Loop 1-4
n
Analog: Voltage Input 1-4
n
Note
Configure each analog input as either a current loop or a voltage input, not both. For
example, if you enable Analog: 4-20mA Current Loop 1, make sure you disable Analog: Voltage
Input 1.
6. Enable the input by selecting On for Interface Enable.
7. Select On for the alarms you want to enable and enter an appropriate value for each threshold
that you enabled. For more information, see Alarms.
8. Enter a value for Hysteresis to prevent multiple alarms when the sensor input value is near a
high or low threshold. For more information, see Hysteresis.
9. Enter a user-friendly name that describes the sensor in the Sensor Description field.
10. Enter the unit of measurement type, such as inches, that you are using for your application in
the Custom Scaled Sample Unit field.
11. Enter the sensor manufacturer's values for y1 and y2 in the Custom Scaled Sample Value
fields. For more information about the Custom Scaled fields, see
12. Enable the oversampling feature, if desired. For more information about this feature, see
Oversampling.
a. From the Oversampling (ovs) list box, select the option that describes the desired
b. In the Oversampling Inter-sample Delay field, specify the time interval between
c. In the Oversampling Number Samples field, specify the number of data samples
13. Apply the configuration changes:
a. Click Save > Schedule. The Save Device Properties dialog appears.
b. Select Immediate.
c. Select Schedule Offline.
d. Click Schedule. Digi Connect Sensor+ downloads and applies configuration changes
Enable and configure analog power outputs
Note
Powering sensors reduces battery life.
Enable and configure the power output options when you use Digi Connect Sensor+ to power the
analog sensors.
Each of the four analog inputs also has four corresponding power outputs to power sensors. The
analog power outputs work independently—each one powers only its corresponding analog input.
