Additional Features and Operation

Alarm Settings/Rules

In MadgeTech 4, alarms can be created
on two levels; in the software itself, and
programmed specifically to the data logger.
Creating alarm rules in the software allows
the user to utilize alarms while real time
recording, and have the added benefit of
features such as e-mail and SMS notification.
An alarm that is programmed on the data
logger will only alert the user from the
device itself, whether that is by a flashing
LED, audible alarm, or local LCD notification.

Creating a Real time Alarm Rule

1. Within the Device tab in MadgeTech 4, in the Alarms group, click Manage Rules,

then select New.

2. Enter a name in the Rule name box, and select whether notifications will occur when

All conditions are met or Any condition is met.

3. Select the desired conditions to have met before notifications occur, and select which

notifications will occur from the drop down menus.

4. If selecting to receive notifications by email or text message, click Email settings and

make sure the correct info has been entered. Email and text message notifications will
not be received if settings are incorrect.

5. Click OK. The OK button will be disabled if the Rule name box is empty.

Changing the Alarm Settings of a Device

1. In the Connected devices panel, select the RFRHTemp2000A device.

2. Click the Properties button under the device tab at the top of the software, and select

the Alarm tab in the Properties window.

3. The High and Low settings indicate reading thresholds at which the alarm becomes active.

4. The Delay setting indicates how long to wait before the alarm becomes active after

passing an alarm threshold.

5. The Use cumulative alarm delay checkbox indicates whether the alarm delay should

reset when reading values fall back within the alarm threshold.

6. Once the alarm is configured appropriately, click Apply to save the settings.
