This especially holds true for any rack-mounted monitors, as the temperature inside of a rack is typically warmer than the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;s <em>Adjust<\/em> field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use \u2018Adjust\u2019 feature in Room Alert Monitor or in your Room Alert Account, not both<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although both your Room Alert Account and your Room Alert Monitor offer the adjust feature, it\u2019s best to apply an adjust in only one place. Why? The adjust will be cumulative in your account at <a href=\"http:\/\/roomalert.com\">RoomAlert.com<\/a>. If, for example, you adjust a reading +2 on the Room Alert Monitor\u2019s web interface and +2 on <a href=\"http:\/\/roomalert.com\">RoomAlert.com<\/a>, the reading will be +4 as shown in <a href=\"http:\/\/roomalert.com\">RoomAlert.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&nbsp;best to only adjust the value here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using an older version of the Room Alert Monitor web interface?\u00a0Please click here for the appropriate FAQ.
