1. Temperature and Humidity Page Path Environment gt Overview gt Temp amp Humidity This displays the name alarm status temperature and humidity if supported for each sensor Click the name of a sensor to edit the name and location and to configure its thresholds and its hysteresis Thresholds For each sensor you set the thresholds for temperature and if supported humidity measured at the sensor When a threshold is breached passed the alarm signals Hysteresis Use the Hysteresis value to avoid getting alarms repeatedly for the same violation of the temperature or humidity threshold When the temperature or humidity that causes a violation tends to waver slightly up and down it can repeatedly trigger the alarm A higher hysteresis value can prevent this If the hysteresis value is too low the wavering can first cause a threshold violation and then clear it meaning the alarm can be triggered several times See the examples below after noting the following e For maximum and high threshold violations the clearing point for the alarm is the threshold minus the hysteresis value you input e For minimum and low threshold violations the clearing point is the threshold plus the hysteresis value Example of rising but wavering humidity Say the maximum humidity threshold is 65 and the humidity hysteresis is 10 Then the humidity rises above 65 causing an alarm It then wavers down to 60 and up UPS Network Manageme
