How To Configure A Switch Sensor’s ‘Alarm On’ Setting In A Room Alert Monitor (Legacy)

Using the new version of the Room Alert Monitor web interface? Please click here for the appropriate FAQ.

Switch sensor ‘Alarm On’ states are set to ‘Closed’ by default in your Room Alert Monitor web interface. Click here to check if your switch sensor should be set to ‘Alarm On’ ‘Open’ or ‘Closed’.

To change the ‘Alarm On’ setting for your switch sensor to ‘Open,’ follow these steps:

1. Open your Room Alert Monitor’s web interface. You may open the interface using Device Discovery or Device ManageR, or by typing the IP address of the unit directly into the address bar of your web browser.

2. Select the Settings tab at the top of the page.

3. Then select Sensors in the navigation bar to the left.

4. In the Sensor Settings page, scroll down to the switch sensor section and then find your sensor.

– If you’ve named the sensor, you can find it by name.

– Otherwise, you can find it by number: if you’ve connected your switch sensor to the first switch port, look for Switch 1; if you connected it to the second switch port, look for Switch 2, etc.

5. Select the Alarm On drop-down menu for your sensor. You’ll see a list with the following options:

– Open

– Closed

– Disabled

6. To generate an alarm (and change the Status page appearance to a red X) when the switch goes into an OPEN state, select Open from the drop-down list.

7. Select Accept Changes at the bottom of the page, and then select Save Settings in the navigation bar to the left. Your Room Alert Monitor will reboot with your new setting.
