High and low thresholds
Use these settings to define if the liquid level in the tank is too high, too low, or changes too quickly between two consecutive readings.
For example, the device is configured to take measurements every hour and send reports twice every day at 8:00 and 20:00. If a device senses that the liquid level reached a high or low alarm threshold at 11:00, it immediately sends a report to Remote Manager with that information.
When configuring alarms, make sure you use correct measurements. The Connect Tank sensor measures the distance in inches from the top of the sensor to the top of the liquid in the tank. A smaller distance (such as 10 inches) is near the top of the tank; a larger distance (such as 70 inches) is near the bottom of the tank.
Note Actual measurements depend on your tank size.
Threshold | Description | |
---|---|---|
1 | High |
Sends an alarm report when the measurement indicates the liquid level is near the top of the tank. For example, the high threshold value might be 15 inches. |
2 | Low |
Sends an alarm report when the measurement indicates the liquid level is near the bottom of the tank. For example, the low threshold might be 75 inches. |
3 | Delta high |
Sends an alarm report when the liquid level increases too much between two consecutive readings. For example, the delta high threshold value might be 20 inches because liquid levels should not increase more than 20 inches between two consecutive readings. |
4 | Delta low |
Sends an alarm report when the liquid level decreases too much between two consecutive readings. For example, the delta low threshold value might be 10 inches because liquid levels should not decrease more than 10 inches between two consecutive readings. |
