Smoke detector configuration settings for your SensorProbe
Filed under: Data Center, environmental monitoring, SensorProbes, smoke detector
Because of the similarities in how the smoke detector and dry contact sensors work, when a smoke detector sensor is connected to any of the Ravica SensorProbe models it will be recognized as dry contact sensor. The real differences lie in how the user configures and labels the sensor.
Therefore, when connecting a new smoke detector sensor, change the description to “Smoke Detector” or something similar, then update the web interface settings for the smoke detector to reflect the options below.
Direction: Input
Normal State: Open/+5 Volts
Output Level: Low/GND
Congratulations! You now have a properly configured smoke detector sensor watching over you.
