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.

Access the web UI for Connect Sensor from the Device Summary page. The Automation Dashboard displays.
Choose Physical I/O > Analog I/O. The Analog I/O Configuration page displays.
Select the analog input that you want to configure: Analog 1, Analog 2, Analog 3, and Analog 4. Information about the fields is in the table below.

Option	Description
Input Type	Determine the analog input type. Options are: 4-20mA Current Loop Voltage Input. This is the default.
Input Enabled	Determine when the pin is enabled. Options are: Auto: The pin is enabled only when referenced by an automation input. This is the default. Always: The pin is always enabled.
Power output	Configure the power output. Options are: Disabled: Power does not need to be provided to the sensor. This is the default. Enabled: Power does need to be provided to the sensor. Read Delay Only: When this feature is enabled, you can choose to let the Connect Sensor power the sensor connected to the device, as some sensors need time to level and take the correct reading. 0: The Connect Sensor does not power the sensor. This is the default. n seconds: The Connect Sensor powers the sensor for the number of seconds specified.
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.
