Night Setback Input
The Rooster™Sensor100 allows the user to connect to the digital input (0V, dry contact) on the
input connector, positions 5 & 6, for night setback. The purpose of the Night Setback input is to
allow the user the ability to send a remote signal to all Rooster™Sensor100s, simultaneously,
which changes their behavior during low flow conditions. This signal is normally initiated by a
Laboratory or Building Management System (BMS).
Once the wiring connections are made, the user can assert and remove the night setback signal
from the BMS, and three Sensor100 states can be selected.
oOn: This state can be enabled to trigger NSB mode of operation when no NSB trip
threshold is configured.
oAudible: In this state, when the night setback signal is asserted, the Sensor100 will still
audibly alarm when airflow drops below the NSB trip threshold.
oMuted: In this state, when the night setback signal is asserted, the Sensor100 will alarm
when airflow drops below the NSB trip threshold, but the alarm will be muted.
oOff (default): In this state, when the night setback signal is asserted, the Sensor100 will
ignore it.
Alarm Output
The RoosterTM alarms for airflow. The alarm output is a relay outputs available on the output
connection of the display module. I/O polarity logic of outputs may be reversed as well. See the
I/O Polarity menu of the Rooster™ Sensor100.
Installation
Installation of the RoosterTM involves selecting and preparing appropriate locations for the alarm
module and sensor, wiring, and connecting the unit, and then mounting both the alarm module
and sensor securely.
Back Plate Mounting Options - Alarm Module
The RoosterTM is mountable to a cabinet or wall panel by first securing the back plate. Once this is
complete, the RoosterTM is easily aligned to the back plate and secured with bottom captive screw.
Two back plate versions are available:
1. Wall Mount: This back plate sits directly on the wall or cabinet surface, and is secured by
self-tapping screws, or industrial Velcro. Sensor and control wiring access is at the back,
while access for power in from the wall mount power supply is at the bottom of the back
plate.

Boot Up Procedure
The RoosterTM does not have a power-on switch and will become energized
as soon as you plug it in. The RoosterTM boots to the screen depicted on the
right, with a slot for a custom logo. The boot screen is designed to support
a custom image or logo file in portable network graphic (.png) format with
(240x320) dimensions. This feature must be requested and is not setup for
manual configuration.
Once the start procedure has completed, the Home screen will appear with
two system buttons, and you will need to setup password-protected access
tiers for advanced system functions. This is explained in the “Access Tier
Privileges” section below.
Access Tier Privileges: USER, EH&S & CERTIFIER
Users have the ability to customize their containment
cabinets within a defined set of options for each
authorization level. There are three levels of access to
the RoosterTM: User, EH&S/Facility Manager and
Certifier. These are managed by logging in with a 4-digit
numerical passcode. The User access level does not
require a passcode.
You can reboot your RoosterTM Sensor100 at any time by pushing the hard “Home” and “Mute”
buttons simultaneously until the boot screen reappears.
Manufacturer default passcodes:
EH&S = 8377
Certifier = 6425

Set/Change Passwords
To change or set a password, follow this GUI path to trigger the password change sequence:
Home>Settings>System>Advanced>Change Passwords
You will have to enter an EH&S or Certifier passcode to get access to the “Advanced” menu. To
change either the EH&S or Certifier passcode, you must first re-enter the old passcode. Please
note that if you are authorized to perform both EH&S and Certifier functions, you may set an
identical passcode for both access tiers to make logging in and accessing key functions easier.
Alarm Threshold Configuration
1) To set your alarm threshold, follow the menu path below :
Home>Settings>Thresholds>Adjust Thresholds

Rooster™Sensor100 USER MANUAL
Rooster TM Sensor100 USER MANUAL 62320MN000-A04 14
2) To set alarm thresholds, you will first have to define an alarm trip point
and an alarm clear point. The alarm trip point is the air velocity value
that will trigger an alarm. The alarm clear point is the air velocity value
that will clear an alarm state. Once you have defined these values, the
alarm will trip and clear based on your settings. You may return to this
menu at any time to adjust these values as needed.
3) By default, no values are set for the NSB (Night Setback) mode of
operation. Depending on your application or setup, you may not need to
have an active alarm during night setback mode. You may choose,
however, to set a specific alarm trip and clear point for night setback
mode. You will first have to define an alarm trip point and an alarm clear
point. The alarm trip point is the air velocity value that will trigger an
alarm. The alarm clear point is the air velocity value that will clear an
alarm state. Once thresholds are assigned for night setback, you may
choose to set your alarm as “audible” or “muted” in the alarm controls
menu below.:
Home>Settings>System>Alarms/Sound>Alarm Controls>Night Setback
4) To quickly glance at threshold settings, follow this menu path:
Home>Settings>Thresholds>Threshold Info
Alarm Troubleshooting
Is your alarm failing to sound or clear as you intended? You may need to verify that you have
entered valid threshold values. For both normal and NSB modes of operation, the “Alarm Trip”
or “NSB Trip” point must be a lower value than the “Alarm Clear” or “NSB Clear” point to
properly trigger and clear an alarm.
The RoosterTM Sensor100 offers an array of customization options for alarm behaviors. In the
following section, we will provide a detailed overview on how to customize your alarm behavior
to meet your particular needs and preferences.
Alarm Controls
To provide our users with full customization of the alarm behaviors that are best suited for their
facilities and unique conditions, the RoosterTM Sensor100 allows authorized users (Certifier &
EH&S) to set night setback, ringback, alarm delay, startup delay, latching, alarm tone, and airflow
resolution preferences.

Alarm Delay
To account for hysteresis and prevent nuisance alarms or premature recoveries, users can define
the amount of time that the RoosterTM has to achieve continuous safe velocity readings before
the alarm state clears and continuous unsafe velocity readings before an alarm is triggered. This
is called Alarm Delay.
Alarm Delay
Definition
1s
Alarm is cleared after 1 second if velocity readings are above the alarm clear threshold.
Alarm is triggered after 1 second if velocity readings are below the alarm trip threshold.
This is the default setting.
2s
Alarm is cleared after 2 seconds if velocity readings are above the alarm clear threshold.
Alarm is triggered after 2 seconds if velocity readings are below the alarm trip threshold.
5s
Alarm is cleared after 5 seconds if velocity readings are above the alarm clear threshold.
Alarm is triggered after 5 seconds if velocity readings are below the alarm trip threshold.
10s
Alarm is cleared after 10 seconds if velocity readings are above the alarm clear threshold.
Alarm is triggered after 10 seconds if velocity readings are below the alarm trip
threshold.
Startup Delay
The startup delay prevents an alarm from triggering until the workstation and ventilation
systems have fully powered up and are operational. Refer to chart on next page for further
definitions.
Alarm Delay
Definition
30s
Alarm is paused for 30 seconds on power up.
1 min
Alarm is paused for 1 minute on power up.
2 min
Alarm is paused for 2 minutes on power up.
5 min
Alarm is paused for 5 minutes on power up.
Latch Alarm
Alarm latching is a useful feature to indicate that an alarm state was triggered even if the device
is no longer in an active alarm state. This could occur, for example, when a user has stepped
away from the workstation. When latching is activated “On”, a yellow banner will display
beneath the velocity and temperature readings on the home screen to indicate that a low
airflow event has occurred. When latching is set to “Password”, an EH&S passcode must be

Rooster™Sensor100 USER MANUAL
Rooster TM Sensor100 USER MANUAL 62320MN000-A04 17
entered to unlatch this alarm. If the latch alarm setting is set to “On”, simply tap the banner to
disable the alarm. Switching the latch state to “Off” disables this feature entirely.
Home>Settings>System>Alarms/Sound>Alarm Controls>Latch Alarm
Alarm Tone Settings
The user can configure alarms with different tones. Alarm tone settings are available for Low
Flow, Sensor, and Sash Alarms. At the time of tone selection, the tone plays for approximately 2
seconds to provide an understanding of tone type and volume level. Default alarm tone settings
are:
▪Low Flow alarm - Tone 1
▪Sensor alarm - Off
▪Sash alarm - Tone 2
Alarm Tone Settings supersedes Minimum Volume settings.
Alarm Type
Definition
Off
The audible alarm is off.
Tone 1
Alarm plays Tone 1.
Tone 2
Alarm plays Tone 2.
Examples:
1. If the sensor becomes disconnected, and Sensor Alarm is set to Tone 1,
the audible alarm will play Tone 1, and the on-screen alert banner will indicate Sensor
Fault.
2. If the sensor becomes disconnected, and Sensor Alarm is set to Off,
there will be no audible alarm, and the on-screen alert banner will indicate Sensor Fault.
Backlight Dimming
Brightness is adjusted via left and right arrows. Actual screen brightness
adjusts immediately as the setting is changed. Pressing the Enter button
will save the brightness setting, and Cancel will leave the setting
unchanged.
A timer is reset each time the screen is pressed. Once the timer reaches
the “Auto-Dim Time” value, the screen will dim. When the screen is
pressed again, the screen will return to its original brightness setting.
The lowest dim level setting will not allow the screen to turn completely
dark, instead, it will be just bright enough to still be readable. Dim times
are 1, 5, 10, and 60 minutes, with an “Off” setting, and a default time of 10 minutes initially.

For advanced users, displayed velocity units can be configured to display in an alternate
resolution. The default resolution for units is 1 fpm and .01 m/s respectively, however, for users
who prefer a more uniform readout, this can be configured at different settings up to 5 fpm or
.05 m/s.

.01 m/s
Displayed units in m/s are rounded to .01 m/s. This is the default setting.
.02 m/s
Displayed units in m/s are rounded to .02 m/s.
.05 m/s
Displayed units in m/s are rounded to .05 m/s.
Volumetric Flow Settings
The Sensor100 displays velocity flow by default. Display of volumetric flow is available for
applications using the probe style sensor in a ducted flow. Volumetric flow can be displayed by
first navigating to the Airflow Settings menu to enable volumetric flow, and then entering the
required duct information. The steps are as follows:
1. Navigate to the System screen by following this path:
Home>Settings>System

Rooster™Sensor100 USER MANUAL
Rooster TM Sensor100 USER MANUAL 62320MN000-A04 19
2. Push the “Airflow Settings” button to enter the Airflow Settings menu screen.
Home>Settings>System>Airflow Settings
3. In order to proceed, you will need to enter your “Certify” password. If you have not set a
custom password, the factory default is “6425”
4. Push the “Volumetric Flow Settings” button to enter the Volumetric Flow menu screen.
Home>Settings>System>Airflow Settings>Volumetric Flow Settings
5. Push the “Volumetric Flow” button until it says Enabled.
Home>Settings>System>Airflow Settings>Volumetric Flow Settings>Volumetric Flow
6. Push the “Duct Size” button to enter the Duct Size screen.
Home>Settings>System>Airflow Settings>Volumetric Flow Settings>Volumetric Flow>Duct Size
7. Press the “Shape” button until the appropriate duct shape is displayed, circular or
rectangular.
8. Press the “Units” button to display your choice of cm or inch units for entry of duct
dimension(s).
9. Enter the dimension(s) of the duct, diameter for circular shape, height, and width for
rectangular shape.
A third units touch toggle of cfm is accessible on the main screen with volumetric flow enabled
so that the user is able to cycle between fpm, m/s, and cfm.
Analog Output
The RoosterTM Sensor100 has digital to analogue converter (DAC) output enabled, with
correspondence to air velocity. There are four user selectable ranges to choose from, which the
user will connect to pins 7 & 8 on the rear panel’s 8-position “Outputs” Connector:
o0-5 VDC

Rooster™Sensor100 USER MANUAL
Rooster TM Sensor100 USER MANUAL 62320MN000-A04 20
o0-10 VDC
o0-20 mA (available upon request)
o4-20 mA (available upon request)
Home>Settings>System>Advanced>Analog Out
Your unit has been calibrated from 30-4,000 fpm (0.15- 20.0 m/s); however, you may select a
range to scale within your chosen analog output.
For example: Velocity maximum can be set to 500 fpm, and if 0-5V is selected as the analog
output, then 5V will correspond to 500 fpm. In this regard, the client can scale the output to the
most convenient application.
I/O Polarity
For advanced users, it may be helpful to toggle relay and input nodes
from normally open to normally closed. In the default state, a closed relay
output denotes an alarm. If the alarm state is required to be an open relay,
then toggle the output on the Rooster™. For example: The Airflow Alarm is
configured by default to alarm when the relay is closed. If this is toggled
to Normally Closed (NC), then this logic is reversed.

Import/Export
EEPROM
The user can save all current RoosterTM settings to a USB thumb drive for future use. Importing
the EEPROM configuration file to another RoosterTM in your facility ensures operational
consistency and saves valuable setup time. Plug a USB thumb drive into the RoosterTM and
navigate to the Import/Export menu to select the Import EEPROM or Export EEPROM option.
Home>Settings>System>Advanced>Import/Export
Event Log
RoosterTM logs the date and time of alarms and alarm recovery as well as system boot time to its
internal SD card. Users can export the event log in .csv format to a USB thumb drive. Simply
plug a USB thumb drive into the RoosterTM, and select Export Event Log from the Advanced
menu. Users also have a selection to delete the event log.
Home>Settings>System>Advanced>Import/Export
Users can also view the event log on screen by navigating to the Info screen and then pressing
“Event Log” to view.
