    Real time readings are provided for all power strip and sensor data next to historical graphs. Each attached RS2 Series units will show a remote sensor section on the host unit’s Sensors page. All power monitoring information will be shown here.
  • Page 8: Logging Page

    Logging Page The host unit’s Logging page allows the user to access the historical data of the RS2 by selecting the desired readings and time range to be graphed. This is done the same way the sensor readings are graphed on the host unit. A new section will be shown for each RS2 added to the host unit.
  • Page 9: Display Page

    Display Page The host unit’s Display page allows the user to assign friendly names to the RS2 unit. This friendly name is shown as the name of the RS2 on the host unit’s other pages. This feature is helpful to distinguish one RS2 from another RS2 or from another sensor when attached to the same host device.
  • Page 10: Alarms Page

    Alarms Page The host unit’s Alarms page allows the user to establish alarm conditions for each sensor reading. Alarm conditions can be established with either high or low trip thresholds. To set an alarm, select the alarm type from the dropdown menu. Then select whether the alarm will trip above or below the threshold.
  • Page 11: Sensors

    Control Page The host unit’s Control pages will become active after the RS2 is attached, if they are not already. The Control pages include an Actions tab and a Settings tab. The Settings tab gives the user the ability reset the kilowatt hours or to change the friendly names of the outlets on the RS2.
  • Page 12: Overview

    Overview The RS2 updates its measurements every 5 seconds. Like all external sensors, the RS2’s measurements are read by the host every 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the number of other sensors connected. Sensor data collected by the RS2 gives useful trend analysis data, and allows users to view changes and draw useful conclusions about what is happening over time in the monitored environment.
