9.3 Setup System - Setup Input
The Universal Monitor has eight digital input points that may be
configured individually. If the optional Expansion Board is used, an
additional 16 digital inputs may also be configured. These inputs may
have a wide variety of Liebert or other manufacturers’ equipment
connected for monitoring.
To configure a digital input:
Log In and Choose Setup System
• From the Main Menu, use the arrows
↑↓ to choose System and
Control, then press Enter ↵ (see 9.1 - Login for help).
• Enter your password at the Login screen.
• From the System and Control Menu, use the arrows
↑↓ to choose
Setup System, then press Enter ↵ .
Select a Digital Input to Configure
• From the Setup System Menu, shown at right, use the arrows
↑↓ to
choose Setup Input and press Enter ↵ .
• From the Select Input Menu, choose the input you want—for exam-
ple, Input_01—and press Enter ↵ .
Table 21 shows the digital input features you may change, along with
the default settings: you may change the name of the input, define it as
normally open or closed, and specify it as alarmable or as an event.
• Alarmable inputs may be defined as either Unlatched or Latched.
• Event status allows you to monitor a digital input’s state—and use a change in state to initiate an
action through an output, if desired—without triggering an alarm. Events are always Unlatched.
• You may also specify a time delay before the Universal Monitor responds to an alarm or event.
Use the steps following Table 21 to change the default settings for any digital input.
