Sensor Readings

Frequency

Cold Sensors and Hot Sensors take a reading every 5 minutes and send these data to the Control Centre every 15 minutes.

Sensor+ temperature and humidity sensors take readings every minute and send these data to the Control Centre every 5 minutes.

Sensor+ Contact sensors take readings and send data in real time.

Out-of-Range Sensor Readings

Each sensor has a rule: an acceptable range, including a maximum and minimum limit and an alert delay period.

Depending on the sensor, this may be a temperature range, humidity range, etc.

For example, a temperature sensor may be configured to trigger an alarm if it exceeds 4°C or falls below 1°C for more than 1 hour.

If a sensor takes a reading that contravenes the rule assigned to it, the following people will be notified via a sensor alert so they can take appropriate action:

• Supervisors in the team assigned to the sensor

• Safety Managers at the location assigned to the sensor

To find out which location, rule, and team are assigned to a sensor, see View Your Monitoring Configuration.

View Sensor Data Reports

You can view the following reports containing sensor readings:

• Monitoring Report: a record of sensor readings in tabular form

• Monitoring Summary Report: a record of sensor readings in graphical form

You can also export data from the Monitoring Report to Excel.
