Defining a Custom 4-20mA Sensor

After you select 4-20mA and click OK, the Add Custom 4-20mA Sensor window opens. This window

features the following fields and controls:

Type in the appropriate values for the analog sensor hardware. When you have finished, click OK to add

this sensor definition to the list of available Sensor Types.

Note

Once a custom 4-20mA sensor is added, it cannot be edited. Custom 4-20mA sensors can

only be added or removed. You can view the custom sensor settings for selected sensors

by clicking View.

Field Description

Sensor type label The label represents the name of the custom sensor definition.

For example, if you are creating a custom sensor definition for

use with temperature sensor Model 42 from MyCo, Inc., you

might want to use “MyCo Model 42 Temperature Sensor” as the

Sensor Type Label. Once defined, the Sensor Type Label

appears only in the Sensor Type Installed drop box when

specifying Sensor Pod external port settings.

Default sensor label This is the text that is used, by default, as a label for any new

sensors added using this custom sensor definition. This label is

used to identify each individual sensor in the Sensor Readings

pane, as well as in all interfaces and alert notifications. Once a

sensor has been added to your device, you can use the Monitored

Device Settings task to modify the labels for easier sensor-

specific identification.

mA 1 / sensor value

and

mA 2 / sensor value

Use the mA 1 / Sensor Value and mA 2 / Sensor Value fields to

specify 2 reference points (between 4 and 20 mA) for the sensor

readings. Using these two points, the device will use linear

interpolation to determine the full range of sensor values that

correspond to the voltage readings reported by the sensor.

Minimum sensor value The lowest value that will be reported by the sensor.

Maximum sensor value The highest value that will be reported by the sensor.

Sensor increment The numeric increments in which the sensor reading rises or

falls.

Units The unit of measurement that is used for this sensor.
