Create a Hot Sensor Safety Rule

If a Hot Sensor is exposed to temperatures above 150˚C (302˚F), it may result in fire, explosion, and a severe burn hazard.

It is essential that a safety rule is applied to this type of sensor so that you are alerted immediately if they exceed 100˚C.

You must be a Safety Manager to create a rule. See User Roles for more details.

You cannot install a Hot Sensor unless you apply a safety rule.
