SenseFlex Range: Cloud Connector Power Supply
The Cloud Connector is powered by mains power supply.
You can connect the device to the mains using the power cable provided. Alternatively, if you prefer to use Power over Ethernet (PoE), we can provide a PoE splitter.
If the Cloud Connector Loses Power Supply
If the Cloud Connector is disconnected from the mains power supply, for example, accidentally or during a power outage, it will power off.
You can tell if the Cloud Connector is powered off if no icons are illuminated on the front display panel.
If the Cloud Connector remains powered off for an extended period:
All sensors connected to the device will appear offline
Administrators and Safety Managers will receive multiple service alerts (see Cloud Connector Troubleshooting for instructions on how to resolve the issue).
By default, if a sensor is offline for more than 1 hour, a service alert will be triggered. If you would like to be notified sooner, see Edit Offline Alert Period.
While the Cloud Connector Is Powered Off
While the Cloud Connector is powered off:
Sensors will continue to take readings and store the data in their internal memory
No subsequent sensor readings will be visible in the Control Centre
No sensor alerts will be triggered if a sensor goes out of range for more than its delay period
See Sensor Technical Specifications for details of sensor storage capacity.
When the Cloud Connector Is Powered On Again
When the Cloud Connector is powered on again, the backlog of sensor readings will be sent to the Control Centre automatically.
If the backlog of sensor readings indicates that a sensor was out of range for longer than its alert delay period, a sensor alert will not be triggered. We only trigger sensor alerts from live data to ensure that alerts reflect a sensor’s most recent status.
