Remote sensors

List of monitored sensors by Upsagent .

This window shows the list of remote sensors associated with the SNMP adapter connected to the UPS. Up to 6 different types of remote sensor can be associated with an SNMP adapter using the serial port (see sensor cable wiring specifications). The remote sensors are divided into three categories:

Temperature sensors that measure the environmental temperature around the sensor. Alarms can be set to indicate when high or low temperature thresholds are exceeded so that certain actions can be taken (sending an SMS or an e-mail or system shutdown).

Temperature and humidity sensors that measure the environmental temperature and humidity around the sensor. Alarms can be set to indicate when high or low temperature thresholds are exceeded so that certain actions can be taken (sending an SMS or e-mail or system shutdown).

Temperature and digital I/O sensors that measure the environmental temperature around the sensor and have two contacts - an Input and an Output. Alarms can be set to indicate when high or low temperature thresholds are exceeded so that certain actions can be taken (sending an SMS or e-mail or system shutdown). It is also possible to set parameters for the Input contact so that certain actions are taken (sending an SMS or e-mail or system shutdown) whenever the contact opens (or closes),One of the actions that can be taken is the closing of the Output contact of the digital I/O sensors. This can be set to signal a general alarm condition on the UPS (e.g. AC Failure), or a general alarm condition on a sensor (e.g. high temperature).

Up to 32 remote sensors can be configured. Given that a maximum of 32 UPS systems can be controlled, it is evident that if each UPS has 6 sensors, it will not be possible to monitor all the sensors. It is up to the user to choose which of the 32 sensors he intends to monitor.

You can add, delete or edit remote sensors list (see Remote sensor parameters).
