Critical Low These thresholds are compared to the sensor value several times a second and the status is set accordingly Some sensors such as the temperature and humidity sensors use these thresholds whereas other sensors such as dry contact inputs only use the Normal State to formulate the status Rearm The Rearm parameter is useful for sensors whose values can vary such as the temperature and humidity sensor The Rearm is used to prevent the sensor from flickering between two states For example if the Warning High threshold for the temperature sensor is set to 80 degrees and the sensor were to vary between 79 and 80 you could be faced with a very large number of emails traps and events logged The Rearm parameter prevents this by forcing the temperature to drop by the Rearm before changing the state back to normal In this example if Rearm is set to 2 then the sensor would have to drop from 80 down to 77 before the status would change from Warning High back to normal 14 Sensor Status Filter Continuous time secs sensor is high critical to report This is for delay the status changing from the high warning state to high critical state This will help to eliminate unnecessary messages during minor fluctuations Enter the time in seconds and press the Save button The amount of time that can be entered is between 0 and 65535 seconds which equals approximately 18 hours Continuous time secs sensor is high warning to report There is a
