"alarmed" State

This state means a discrete (on/off) sensor is in the "abnormal" state.

Usually for a contact closure sensor, the meaning of this state varies based on the sensor's normal state setting.

For a Raritan's floor water sensor, the normal state must be set to Normally Closed, which means no water is detected. The alarmed state indicates that the presence of water is detected.

Note: See Environmental Sensors Guide for information on setting the normal state or dip switch. This guide can be downloaded from the Raritan website's PX2 Support Files page.

Tip: A contact closure sensor's LED is lit after entering the alarmed state. Determine which contact closure switch is in the "abnormal" status according to the corresponding LED.
