The PXE starts to retrieve an environmental sensor's reading and/or state and records the state transitions after the environmental sensor is managed. To control an actuator, you also need to have it managed.
The PXE device can manage a maximum of 32 environmental sensors or actuators.
When there are less than 32 managed sensors or actuators, the PXE automatically brings detected environmental sensors or actuators under management by default. You have to manually manage a sensor or actuator only when it is not under management.
Tip: You can disable the automatic management feature so that newly connected environmental sensors or actuators are NOT brought under management automatically. See Disabling the Automatic Management Function.
Note: To identify all detected sensors or actuators, see Identifying Environmental Sensors and Actuators.
Note: For a sensor package with contact closure (CC) or dry contact (DC) channels, a channel number is added to the end of the <sensor type>.
If the number you selected was already assigned to a sensor or actuator, that sensor or actuator becomes released after losing this ID number.
Tip: The information in parentheses following each ID number indicates whether the number has been assigned to any sensor or actuator. If it has been assigned to a sensor or actuator, it shows its serial number. Otherwise, it shows the word "unused."
The manual assignment method is unavailable if you selected multiple sensors or actuators in Step 2.
Note: When the total number of managed sensors and actuators reaches the maximum, you CANNOT manage additional sensors or actuators unless you remove or replace any managed ones. To remove a sensor or actuator, see Unmanaging Environmental Sensors or Actuators.
