2.1 SENSOR CONFIGURATION
Plug in the sensor using an available sensor port. Then open the base unit’s Web UI and navigate to the Sensors list, as
shown in Figure 2-1.
FIGURE -: SENSORS LIST
NOTE: This sensor is not configurable directly from the EMEMS platform. The configuration option will redirect to the
unit’s Web UI where the sensor is connected to. This is similar to the older AlertWerks hubs.

The preview screen, shown in Figure 2-5, will show you how the configured display will look like, with the actual sensor
reading and status value.
The small index counter on the top right corner of the LCD screen shows the sensor’s order number in the list. You can
reorder the sensors by selecting them and clicking on the Up/Down buttons accordingly.
After you save your configuration, it will be uploaded to the sensor.
NOTE: This process takes a few seconds to complete.

There is also a Critical Rotation List configuration, shown in Figure 2-6, which will be used when one of the monitored
sensor’s status is in a warning or critical state.
IMPORTANT: The Critical Rotation List will override the Primary Rotation List if a sensor’s status is warning or critical, and
it will only display those sensor statuses.
The display configuration is the same as for the Primary Rotation List, but you can also define a blinking rate value (slow or
fast) to emphasize the value reading that is being displayed.

.. BUILT-IN TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The LCD Sensor’s built-in Temperature Sensor is selectable from the same sensor port.
Its configuration, shown in Figure 2-7, is the same as the standard Temperature Sensor’s configuration, and it can be used
by notifications.
This sensor’s reading will always be displayed on the top left corner of the LCD screen. It can’t be turned off.
