1.877.877.2269 1.1 INTRODUCTION The EME1TH00C NIST2 sensors feature two NIST traceable, calibrated temperature sensors and an internal calibration integrity check. With this technology, the sensors operate in pairs, with the values compared once a second. If a difference greater than the stated tolerance of the sensor is detected, an alarm is raised to warn that the sensor is out of calibration. - Page 3 1.877.877.2269 1.2 NIST SENSOR COMPATIBILITY The EME1TH00C NIST2 sensor is compatible with the AlertWerks Plus Gateways with F7 and H7 processors. The NIST2 sensors will not work on the older AlertWerks Plus Gateways with F4 processors. The NIST2 sensors are compatible with the AlertWerks V4E and V4EL Gateways, but they are not supported on the 8-port sensor expansion modules.

FIGURE 3-5: ADVANCED TAB OPTIONS Degree Type The Degree Type can be set to Fahrenheit or Celsius. The system stores the thresholds for both Celsius and Fahrenheit independently, allowing you to switch between the two degree types.

If you wish to calibrate the temperature sensor, for example, you could enter an offset value of 5. In this example, if the sensor reads 20 degrees then it would record as 25 degrees.

When enabled, it will check the sensor status. If the status of the sensor changes very rapidly, it will report how many times the sensor status changed, instead of having multiple separate entries in the syslog.
