How To Configure Light Tower Or Relay Alarm Profiles In Your Room Alert Monitor

You must first enable your Light Tower or Relay Switch in the Room Alert web interface. For instructions, please see How To Enable Your External Light Tower Or Relay Switch In Your Room Alert Monitor.

At the end of those instructions, you may select Save to reboot the unit and commit the change or continue on to configure a Default / Boot Profile (Step 2) or your Alert Profile(s) (Step 3).

Follow these instructions to set a Default / Boot Profile:

1. Select Settings in the navigation bar to the left in your Room Alert’s web interface.
2. Then select Alarms.
3. Locate your Light Tower or Relay.
4. Locate the Profile drop-down menu.
   • On ‘E’ models, you’ll see: “Choose an Alarm or Boot Profile to view or edit.”
   • On ‘S’ models, you’ll see: “Choose an Alarm or Default Profile to view or edit.“
5. Select Boot Profile or Default Profile (depending on your Room Alert model).
6. Under each feature of the Light Tower or Relay, select what you’d like to happen any time the attached Room Alert reboots. In the example below, we set only the green LED of a Light Tower to turn on.
   
   
7. You may go on to configure Alarm Profiles (Step 3) or select Save now at the top or bottom of the page. Your Room Alert will reboot to commit the changes. In our example, when the unit comes back up, the Light Tower’s green LED will be on.

Setting different Alarm Profiles is useful when you want your Light Tower or Relay to behave differently depending on which sensor is in alert status.

To set an Alarm Profile:

1. Select Settings in navigation bar to the left in your Room Alert’s web interface.
2. Then select Alarms.
3. Locate your Light Tower or Relay.
4. In Choose an Alarm or Default / Boot Profile to view or edit, select Profile X (1, 2, 3, etc.) from the drop-down menu.
5. Under each feature of the Light Tower or Relay, select what you’d like to happen when that profile executes.

6. Repeat the steps above for each Alarm Profile you wish to create.
7. When you’re finished configuring your profiles, you may go on to associate them with sensors (Step 4) or select Save now at the top or bottom of the page. Your Room Alert will reboot to commit your changes.

Now that you’ve created your Alarm Profile(s), you’ll need to associate them with sensors so that they execute when that sensor goes into an alarm state.

To associate a profile with a sensor, follow the steps below:

1. Select the Settings tab from the navigation bar to the left in your Room Alert’s web interface.
2. Then select Sensors in the Settings menu.
3. Locate the sensor you wish to set a profile on. In our example, we’ve chosen the internal Temperature & Humidity sensor.
4. Set at least one threshold on the sensor. In our example, we’ve set a high of 81° Fahrenheit.
5. In Use Alarm Profile, select the profile you wish to use. In our example, we’re using the default, Profile 1, which we’ve configured to turn on the Light Tower’s red LED. When the temperature exceeds 81° Fahrenheit, the red LED will go on.
   
6. Repeat the steps above for each sensor you’d like to trigger your Light Tower or Relay. In our example, we’ve selected Profile 2 for the Room Alert 32E’s Room Entry sensor. Profile 2 will turn the Light Tower’s audio on when the door opens.
   
7. If there are active sensors that you do not wish to trigger the Light Tower or Relay with, be sure to select No Alarm Profile next to them in the Use Alarm Profile drop-down menu. (All sensors are set to Profile 1 by default.)
   
8. Select Save at the top or bottom of the page. Your Room Alert will reboot to commit the changes.
