Configure analog inputs and power outputs for a Connect Sensor

Connect Sensor has four analog inputs, each of which you can configure as either a 4-20 mA current loop or a voltage input.

Analog power outputs

You can enable and configure the analog power output options when you use Connect Sensor to power analog sensors. Each of the four analog inputs also has four corresponding power outputs to power sensors. The analog power outputs work independently: each one powers only its corresponding analog input.

When Connect Sensor powers multiple sensors, it powers only one sensor at a time for each sensor reading. This also allows you to set different voltage ranges for each power output.

Log into the Connect Sensor web UI from Digi Axess.
In the Interfaces section, click Analog I/O.
Configure the analog inputs: Analog 1, Analog 2, Analog 3, and Analog 4. Information about the fields is in the table below.

Option	Description
Input	Determine the analog input type. Options are: 4-20mA Current Loop Voltage Input
Oversampling	Select the option that describes the desired value for the sampled data. Options are: Off: Do not use this option. This is the default. Average Minimum Maximum See Oversampling for a feature description. Note Reading a large number of data samples over a long interval reduces battery life.
Oversampling Delay	Specify the time interval between oversampling readings. The time is measured in milliseconds.
Oversampling count	Specify the number of data samples that must be taken.
High send trigger	Specify whether you want to generate a high trigger report. Options are: Disabled Enabled
High trigger	Specifies the input value that generates a high alarm report when the high trigger is enabled.
Low send trigger	Specify whether you want to generate a low trigger report. Options are: Disabled Enabled
Low trigger	Specifies the input value that generates a low alarm report when the low trigger is enabled.
Hysteresis	Specifies the input value to keep an alarm on or to shut off an alarm during high and low alarm states. 0: hysteresis is off 1 or more: hysteresis is on and managing alarms. The default is 1.0. See Hysteresis for more information.
Power output	Enables or disables the power output source. Options are: Enabled Disabled: This is the default.
Output voltage	Specifies the voltage level output for the power source. The default is 3.3 Volts.
Read delay	Specifies the time in seconds that the sensor voltage is enabled before Connect Sensor reads its value. This allows the sensor to stabilize to get an accurate reading. The default is 0. Note A higher read delay keeps the device powered on longer, which reduces battery life.
