Sending a Sensor Report
You can set the HPDU so that it automatically reports the latest readings
or states of one or more sensors by sending a message or email or recording
the report in a log. The sensor report can contain the following
information.
-
Inlet sensors, including RMS current, RMS voltage, active power,
apparent power, power factor and active energy.
-
Overcurrent protector sensors, including RMS current and tripping
state.
-
Select Device Settings → Event Rules → + New Action.
-
For Action, select Send sensor report.
-
In the Destination Actions section, select the method(s) to report
sensor readings or states. The number of available methods varies,
depending on how many messaging actions have been created.
The messaging action types include:

In the Available Sensors list, select a sensor for the target:
-
Click the first Up or Down arrow (far left) and select a
target component.
-
Click the second Up or Down arrow (middle) and select the
sensor for the target.
For example, to monitor the current reading of the Inlet 1,
select Inlet 1 from the left field, and select RMS Current from
the right field.
-
To report additional sensors simultaneously, repeat the Step
7b to add more sensors.
-
Click + to add the selected sensor to the Report Sensors
list.
-
To remove any sensor from the Report Sensors list:
