Configuring Alarm Notifications

Top  Previous  Next

Alarm notifications can be configured to notify a group of users when there is a specific type of alarm in a zone group. Notifications will be sent via email or SMS text message as long as the there is an internet connection available to the Cypress Green Box. Only one alarm will be sent per WPT at a time and no other alarms will be sent until the first alarm is acknowledged from the Dashboard monitor.

 

The alarms supported for the WPT System are as follows:

Occupied Zone Temperature: This alarm is flagged when the Zone temperature exceeds either the low or high limits of the ambient temperature.
Low Battery: This alarm is flagged when the battery charge level goes below the known low battery limit.
Offline Node: This alarm is flagged when the system detects an offline node.
Occupancy Override: This alarm is flagged when occupancy override is activated.
Manual Override: This alarm is flagged when the set point is changed manually on any of the nodes.

 

To configure the alarm notifications:

1.Click Alarm in the menu bar.
2.Click the Alarm Notification tab.
