Internal channels

Configuration section to configure the settings for the internal channels (e.g. mobile network signal strength or state of charge). The designation of the individual channels can be determined via the "Basic" tab. The "Alarms" tab is used to enter the alarm thresholds and the via the "Trigger" tab the trigger thresholds and the actions to be performed if the trigger conditions are met are determined.

Basic

"Internal channels" configuration section, "Basic" tab

1 Freely selectable channel title for:

GSM

voltage

battery

SOC

int. temp

Load

Runtime

the mobile network signal strength

the external supply or charging voltage (V IN)

the internal battery or rechargeable battery voltage

the State of Charge of the internal battery or internal rechargeable battery 1)

the internal device temperature

the energy consumption between two records

the expected remaining operating time of the instrument while maintaining the configuration 2)
2 String that is used as measurement unit from all display elements of the server

1) To find out why, in rare cases, the battery may be depleted before the SoC reaches 0, please refer to the chapter Determining the State of Charge (SoC)

2) To find out how you can optimise device runtime, see the chapter Factors affecting the device service life

Alarms

Note: In the event of a warning or an alarm, an entry is always created in the alarm list and an immediate transmission is initiated. If the warning or the alarm is cancelled again, an immediate transmission follows.

"Internal channels" configuration section, "Alarms" tab

1 A warning is triggered, if the measurement value drops to or below this value.
2 A warning is triggered, if the measurement value meets or exceeds this value.
3 An alarm is triggered, if the measurement value drops to or below this value.
4 An alarm is triggered, if the measurement value meets or exceeds this value.
5 Hysteresis for all-clear in event of alarm/warning (e.g. Hyst=5 %, alarm or warning at 100 -> all-clear at 95)

Trigger

There are two different types of triggers:

  • Event trigger (RI, XM)

    The relevant operation (e.g. initiate transmission) is only executed once when the trigger event occurs.

  • Level trigger (ON, RA, QX)

    The relevant operation (e.g. activate online mode) is executed as long as the trigger is active.

"Internal channels" configuration section, "Trigger" tab

  Event trigger:
1 Execute recording immediately
2 Initiate transmission
  Level trigger:
3 Activate online mode
4 The alternative record interval should be used.
5 The alternative transmission cycle should be used.
   
6 Selection if the corresponding action is to be performed upon exceeding or falling below the value entered in the "level" field
greater or equal Event trigger: The trigger is initiated if the measurement value meets or exceeds this value.

Level trigger: The trigger is active as long as the measurement value is higher than the level or equal to the level.
less or equal Event trigger: The trigger is initiated if the measurement value drops to or falls below this value.

Level trigger: The trigger is active as long as the measurement value is lower than the level or equal to the level.
7 Levels for initiating the trigger. The hysteresis is used to determine the level to reset the trigger.
8 Hysteresis for revoking the trigger (e.g. hyst=5 %, level = greater or equal, trigger at 100 -> all-clear at 95)
