Enable and configure analog inputs

Connect Tank has four analog inputs, each of which you can configure as either a 4-20 mA current loop or a voltage input. For details about the configuration options, see Analog Current Loop Input and Voltage Input option definitions.

To set analog input options:

  1. Sign in to Remote Manager.
  2. Click the arrow next to your user name and choose Open Classic Remote Manager.
  3. Click Device Management > Devices tab.
  4. Double-click the Connect Tank device you want to configure.
  5. Expand the Configuration menu.

  1. Select the analog input for your sensor:
    • Analog: 4-20mA Current Loop 1-4
    • Analog: Voltage Input 1-4

    Note Configure each analog input as either a current loop or a voltage input, not both. For example, if you enable Analog: 4-20mA Current Loop 1, make sure you disable Analog: Voltage Input 1.

  2. Enable the input by selecting On for Interface Enable.
  3. Select On for the alarms you want to enable and enter an appropriate value for each threshold that you enabled. For more information, see Alarms.
  4. Enter a value for Hysteresis to prevent multiple alarms when the sensor input value is near a high or low threshold. For more information, see Hysteresis.
  5. Enter a user-friendly name that describes the sensor in the Sensor Description field.
  6. Enter the unit of measurement type, such as inches, that you are using for your application in the Custom Scaled Sample Unit field.
  7. Enter the sensor manufacturer's values for y1 and y2 in the Custom Scaled Sample Value fields. For more information about the Custom Scaled fields, see Custom scaled sensor values.
  8. Enable the oversampling feature, if desired. For more information about this feature, see Oversampling.
    1. From the Oversampling (ovs) list box, select the option that describes the desired value for the sampled data: Average, Minimum, or Maximum.
    2. In the Oversampling Inter-sample Delay field, specify the time interval between readings. The time is measured in milliseconds.
    3. In the Oversampling Number Samples field, specify the number of data samples that must be taken.

  9. Apply the configuration changes:

    1. Click Save > Schedule. The Save Device Properties dialog appears.
    2. Select Immediate.
    3. Select Schedule Offline.
    1. Click Schedule. Connect Tank downloads and applies configuration changes the next time it connects to Remote Manager.
