Editing a Zone's Sensors

To edit a Zone's Sensors:

1.Click on the Sites radio button.

2.Either:

Click on the View Data icon on the relevant Site's Dashboard icon. See Figure 664 below:

Figure 664

Or:

i.Select Table View from the OVERVIEW drop  down menu. See Figure 665 below:

Figure 665

•The Sites Table View window is displayed. See Figure 666 below:

Figure 666

ii.On the Sites Table View window, click on the View Data icon associated with the Site you wish to view the Zones for. See Figure 667 below:

Figure 667

•In both cases, a Live View window is displayed for the selected Site, showing the Sensors associated with the first Zone listed. See Figure 668 below:

Figure 668

➢        To select another Zone, click here.

3.Select Edit Mode from the main View Data menu. See Figure 669 below:

Figure 669

 

Click here for details on Editing Sensors if you are using a version of EMS prior to Version 1.0.9 / 2.0.3 (Compliant)

•The Edit Mode window is displayed. See Figure 673 below:

Figure 673

 

•By default, the Edit Mode window for the Zone at the top of the left-hand menu is displayed.

•To display another Zone's Edit Mode window, click on the entry for the required Zone in the left-hand menu. For an example. See Figure 674 below:

4.Either:

i.In the left-hand list of the Zone's Edit Mode window, click on the small 'arrow' symbol to display a list of the Sensors associated with the Zone. See Figure 676 below:

Figure 676

 

ii.In the left-hand list, click on the required Sensor's icon, i.e.: .

Or:

In table in the Zone's Edit Mode window, click on the required Sensor's name in the Sensor Name column. See Figure 677 below:

Figure 677

•The Edit Mode window for the selected Sensor is displayed.  See Figure 678 below:

Figure 678

5.Edit the displayed details as required:

The Editable Details are:

•Sensor Name

Here you can type a name for the Sensor that means something in relation to either the type of measurement that the Sensor is making or the location, for example, RH/T Room 1 or Room 1.

For this example we are going to call our Sensor, 'RH/T Room 1'.

•Hardware Serial No

This is the Transmitter's Serial Number and can be found on the back of the transmitter.
You can either:
Enter the Serial Number in the dialog box in the following format: 0113-00001
Or:
Enter a 0 (zero).
If a 0 (zero) is entered, the Serial Number will be filled in automatically by the EMS Management Application when the Sensor is synchronised. For details see Document: IM6000 EMS Remote Management Tool User Guide.

•Control Device Group:

➢The Control Device Group is the wireless receiving device that will receive the data from the transmitters.

➢The Control Device Group is selected from the drop-down menu.

oSelect the Control Device Group which corresponds to the Site and is compatible with the wireless transmitters used at that Site.

oFor more details see the Adding Control Devices section.

oFor this example, we are going to select Hanwell.

•Physical ID

➢This is the Unique Sensor ID, it can be in the range 1 to 255.

➢For this example we are going to select Sensor 1.

➢If the Physical ID is already used by another Sensor, the System will suggest the next available ID.

•Logging Interval (Mins)

➢The time, in minutes, between the Sensor's Logging/Parameter Sampling events.

•Send Interval

➢For certain Families of Sensor (for example iSense) this Value sets the interval between times when logged data is sent to the Hanwell Remote Data Service.

The Optional Details are:

•Units

This is the measurement Units for each of the channels for the Sensor/Transmitter.

➢These cannot be changed here as they are set by the Sensor/Transmitter install.

•Sensor Out of Service

This feature allows you to temporally take a Sensor out of service. This is useful if the Sensor/Transmitter is measuring something that is turned off for a period and monitoring is not required.

➢It avoids alarms being generated while the Sensor/Transmitter is not required.

➢Out of Service Sensors are displayed with blue text in the Live View.

•Has Digital Input

Checking this box registers that at least one of the Sensor's channels monitors a digital signal.

•Location

Second Location

The Location and Second Location fields allow you to put notes against the Sensor to assist with physically locating the Sensor/Transmitter within a building.

➢These are aide-mémoires only, serve no operational function within the software and are not mandatory.

•Sensor Property functionality is accessed by clicking on the relevant panes at the bottom of the Edit Mode window. See Figure 679 below (Click on the relevant image to navigate to information on the parameters for each Sensor Property):

6.Once you are happy with the details click on the Save button to save the Sensor's edited details.

•Click on the Back button to cancel editing the Sensor's details.

•The Sensor's details are updated and you are returned to the Zone's Edit Mode window.

•A green dialog box is displayed in the Edit Mode window confirming that the Sensor has been updated successfully. See Figure 680 below:
