DSCP device is sync'd with the NetGuardian.
Note: This field must be cleared before a new DSCP device can sync with the
NetGuardian.
The rate with which the Track Monitor will report sensor data to the NetGuardian.
Note: The Track Monitor spends a majority of the time in 'sleep mode' to conserve
power. Update Frequency will determine the rate with which it will 'wake up' and report
data to the NetGuardian. The lower the Update Frequency, the faster the battery will
drain. Increasing the intervals between reports will increase the battery's longevity.
Select 'Track Monitor' to enable the Track Monitor DSCP device.
Note: When the Track Monitor is enabled, Sensors (Provisioning > Sensors) 27-32
will become disabled for use.
Note: When the Track Monitor is enabled, reach-through access via Provisioning >
Serial Ports is disabled.
Point Configuration
Alarm point number.
User-definable description for the discrete alarm point.
Reverse: Check this box to reverse the polarity of the alarm point. Un-checked
means the alarm is triggered when the Normally Open contact closure is latched.
When polarity is reversed, a Normally Closed contact closure is clear and the alarm
is triggered when this contact closure is released.
Check which notification device(s), 1 through 8, you want to send alarm notifications
for that alarm point.
Analog Configuration (Details >>)
ID number for the analog channel.
User-definable description for the analog channel.
The amount of time, in minutes (min) or seconds (s), between each log of each
analog value to history.
The amount (in volts) that the channel needs to go above or below a threshold in order
to cause an alarm.
User-definable display units. The most common are:
User-definable lower reference/scaling level. This scales the information collected by
the sensor (in mA or VDC) to a meaningful unit for the user. For example, for a
temperature sensor, the lower input collected by the sensor may be 4mA (for a 4-
20mA sensor), which would correspond to a specific temperature you define in this
field, such as 32°F.
User-definable upper reference/scaling level. This scales the information collected by
the sensor (in mA or VDC) to a meaningful unit for the user. For example, for a
temperature sensor, the upper input collected by the sensor may be 20mA (for a 4-
20mA sensor), which would correspond to a specific temperature you define in this
field, such as 32°F.
These settings are set to indicate the severity of the alarm depending on which
threshold values have been passed. Enter values for Major Under (MjU), Minor Under
(MnU), Minor Over (MnO), and Major Over (MjO).
VDC = Voltage
F = Fahrenheit
C = Celsius
