Configure the global battery alarm for a device

You can specify the battery life percentage threshold for a device in the Global Alarm Settings page. This feature alerts you when the battery percentage falls below the threshold.

• Connect Tank sends an alarm report to Remote Manager, which you can review in the Data Services screen. See View battery information in a data stream.
• The battery function light for on the device blinks red when the battery life is less than or equal to the battery life percentage. The light blinks blue when battery life is greater than the battery life percentage. See Connect Tank LEDs.

For details about this option, see Global Alarm Settings option definitions.

Note You can also create a battery life alarm that sends an email notification when the battery life percentage falls beneath a specified threshold. See Create a battery life alarm for Connect Tank devices.
