Your Digital Active Power Sensor will not appear in Device ManageR unless you first configure it in your Room Alert Monitor.<\/p>\n<p>To configure your Digital Active Power Sensor, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1. Open your Room Alert Monitor&#8217;s web interface.&nbsp;You may open the interface using Device Discovery, Device ManageR, or your account at <a href=\"https:\/\/roomalert.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RoomAlert.com<\/a>. You may also type the IP address of the unit directly into the address bar of your web browser.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">2. Navigate to <strong>Settings<\/strong>\u2192<strong>Network<\/strong> in the navigation bar to the left.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">3.&nbsp;Find the digital sensor interface that matches the port you connected your Digital Active Power Sensor to. For example, if you used the first digital port on your Room Alert Monitor, look for <em>Sensor 1 Alarm Configuration<\/em>; if you used the second, look for <em>Sensor 2 Alarm Configuration<\/em>, and so on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">4. In the <em>Sensor Type<\/em> drop-down menu, select <strong>Temp\/Active Power<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">5. In <em>Sensor Label<\/em>, you may leave the default, <em>Ext Sensor X<\/em>, or name your Digital Active Power Sensor. In our example, we&#8217;re calling it <em>DAP Server 1<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">6.&nbsp;In <em>Power<\/em>, make a selection in the drop-down menu depending on how you intend to alert:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">&#8211; If you wish alerts to come only from Device ManageR, leave the default <strong>Alert Disabled<\/strong>. This means the Room Alert itself will not go into an alert state for the <em>Power<\/em> portion of the Digital Active Power Sensor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">&#8211; If you wish also to alert from the Room Alert unit itself, select&nbsp;<strong>No Power Detected<\/strong> or <strong>Power Detected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RA_Settings_Sensors_Digital_Active_Power.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10467\" src=\"http:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RA_Settings_Sensors_Digital_Active_Power.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RA_Settings_Sensors_Digital_Active_Power.png 1285w, https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RA_Settings_Sensors_Digital_Active_Power-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RA_Settings_Sensors_Digital_Active_Power-768x381.png 768w, https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RA_Settings_Sensors_Digital_Active_Power-1024x508.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">7.&nbsp;Select <strong>Save Settings<\/strong> at the top or bottom of the page.
