To adjust a reading, please follow these steps:
A Room Alert Monitor or Wireless Sensor Hub’s internal temperature sensor measures the ambient air temperature inside the unit.
Under normal operating conditions, the device can generate some heat internally that can cause the internal sensor to register a temperature that is a few degrees higher than the external sensors. This especially holds true for any rack-mounted monitors, as the temperature inside of a rack is typically warmer than the surrounding environment.
If you find that the internal temperature reads higher than that shown by your external temperature sensors, you may use the adjust field to calibrate. If the internal temperature is, for example, 2 degrees higher than the external temperature sensors, you may put -2 in the internal temperature sensor’s Adjust field.
Although both your Room Alert Account and your Room Alert Monitor offer the adjust feature, it’s best to apply an adjust in only one place. Why? The adjust will be cumulative in your account at RoomAlert.com. If, for example, you adjust a reading +2 on the Room Alert Monitor’s web interface and +2 on RoomAlert.com, the reading will be +4 as shown in RoomAlert.com.
Setting an adjust in your Room Alert Account will not affect the reading on the Room Alert Monitor. If you plan to view the readings through the Room Alert Monitor web interface, it is best to only adjust the value here.
