Triggers Setup - Ametek SurgeX Vertical+ Series User Manual

4.4.4 Triggers Setup

The Triggers Setup page allows for the modification of Triggers. Triggers define event logging
parameters and allow configuration to automatically control and protect connected equipment. Triggers
are categorized into three types, autoping, Threshold with Samples, and Schedule, but all have the same
possible actions. Actions can either be on the onset (Trigger/Alarm Actions) or offset (Clear Actions) of
a trigger. All Triggers are logged, along with the associated actions.
Item Description
Threshold with Uses measurements over an allotted time to take an action. This trigger type is configurable to act
Samples very quickly or very slowly depending on environmental/system needs.
Auto Ping Issues a ping function on a periodic basis to determine if an IP asset is accessible.
Schedule Uses the device time to issue a one time or periodic command. We suggest ensuring the NTP server
is updating correctly to use the schedule trigger.

Description
Do not take any action, only log the event. This is useful as a Clear Action when an action should
persist, or for both Alarm and Clear actions when just logging the event is desired.
Power on a specific outlet if the outlet configuration allows it.
Power off a specific outlet if the outlet configuration allows it.
Reboot a specific outlet if the outlet configuration allows it. If an outlet is already off when this
command is issued, the outlet will simply turn on after the outlet specific reboot delay time.
Run a specific sequence.
Put the device into a shutdown state. This state turns off all outlets (unless they are configured for
always on). The only way to clear a shutdown state, is another trigger, a button on the web
interface, or a REST API command.
Clear the device's shutdown state. Clearing the device's shutdown state will cause the outlets to
follow the logic defined by the On Shutdown Clear setting.
