The State of a Monitored Asset is determined by the last transmitted reading and operating condition of its assigned sensor(s). Its Status identifies the condition that resulted in the asset either entering a Warning or Alarm state.
You can view the state of a Monitored Asset from your Dashboard or from the profile of the asset. The sensor assigned to a Monitored Asset also provides local visual status indicators and an audible reading alarm.
Go to Monitoring > Monitored Assets.
-
Locate the Monitored Asset. The state and status column is displayed.
To view its state-change history, from the list select the Name link of the Monitored Asset > select Event History.
The state of a Monitored Asset represents its current operating condition monitored by OneVue. OneVue continuously monitors readings and sensor devices, which allows staff to know when an asset or its assigned sensor requires attention. The status of a Monitored Asset identifies what caused the asset to enter either a Warning or an Alarm state.
The following provides what each state means.
Normal - last reading in range, sensor operating as expected
Warning - last reading out of range, but time period has not exceeded Alarm Delay
Alarm - last reading out of range and exceeded its Alarm Delay or sensor is not operating as expected
Suspended - manually set by a user and alerts are not generated
Decommissioned - manually set by a user and Monitored Asset is not monitored
Unmonitored Monitored Asset is not assigned to a sensor
-
Current condition
Last transmitted sensor reading is within its Normal Condition and the sensor device is operating as expected.
-
Status resulting in State
Status is blank during this state.
Return to Normal status: indicates its prior state was either a Warning or Alarm State and has since returned to normal.
Differential Pressure Door Switch monitoring only: an Open status indicates the Differential Pressure Door Switch is in an Open status. When in an Open status for longer than the time period set in its Door Delay Alarm setting, the Monitored Asset is set to an Alarms Disabled state.
-
Current condition
Last transmitted reading is not within its Normal Condition, but the amount of time the reading has been out of range has not exceeded the time period set in the sensor's Alarm Delay setting.
When in a Warning state, OneVue:
does not activate an alert
continues to log, store, and monitor the sensor readings and sensor device operating conditions
-
Status resulting in State
Out of Range
The last reading was either below or above its Normal Condition (temperature, temperature and humidity, or differential pressure sensor) or the last reading was not its Normal Condition (water leak and contact closure sensor).
-
Current condition
A condition requires immediate attention. The condition resulting in the Alarm state is indicated by its Status.
When in an Alarm state OneVue:
activates an alert for the alarm condition and sends alert notifications. The Monitored Asset and the staff required to receive alert notifications must be included in an Alert Rule.
continues to log, store, and monitor sensor readings and sensor device operating conditions
-
Status resulting in State
Enters an Alarm state due to any of the statuses below:
-
Out of Range, Past Alarm Delay (reading alarm)
The amount of time the last reading/condition has been out of range (not within its Normal Condition), has exceeded the time period set in its Alarm Delay.
The last reading was either below or above its Normal Condition (temperature, temperature and humidity, or differential pressure sensor) or the last reading was not its Normal Condition (water leak and contact closure sensor).
If the Alarm Delay setting is set to 0 (zero), the Monitored Asset is immediately set to an Alarm state with the status of Out of Range, Past Alarm Delay.
-
Unresponsive (no network)
Indicates the sensor device has not checked-in to OneVue for more than the time period set in the sensor's gateway Unresponsive Timeout setting.
The Unresponsive status is due to a network connectivity issue that has prevented the Primex device from checking-in to OneVue or the device has no power.
-
No Probe (applies to Temperature Sensor & Water Leak Sensor)
When a Probe has been removed from a Temperature Sensor or a Water Detector is removed from a Water Leak Sensor, a no probe status is automatically sent to OneVue.
For a temperature sensor, indicates a temperature probe has either been removed from the sensor's probe input jack or the probe is malfunctioning.
For a water leak sensor, Indicates the water detector has either been removed from the sensor's input jack or the detector is malfunctioning.
-
Low Battery
Indicates the sensor device has reported a low battery level.
It's recommended to replace the device batteries to avoid a loss of power.
-
-
Current condition
A OneVue user manually changed the Monitored Asset to a Suspended state.
For use during a temporary condition, such as when a Monitored Asset is being repaired or replaced and you do not want staff to receive alerts during this time period.
The Monitored Asset is required to be set to a Normal state by a system user to resume alerting.
When set to a Suspended state, OneVue:
acknowledges and ends any active alerts
does not generate alerts for the asset
does not monitor the readings or sensor device operating conditions
continues to log and store readings and sensor device operating conditions - continues to show status changes only
-
Status resulting in State
A manual State Change was made by a OneVue user.
Note
Displays status changes only and not monitored during this state.
Status changes are for information purposes only.
-
Current condition
A OneVue user sets a Monitored Asset to the Decommissioned state.
The Decommissioned state is designed to permanently disable a Monitored Asset from your account, such as when an asset has been taken out of service. All of the Monitored Asset's data generated prior to being Decommissioned is retained in previously generated reports.
When set to Decommissioned state, OneVue:
detaches the Monitored Asset from its assigned sensor(s)
acknowledges and ends any active alerts
retains all historical reading data that was stored in the system prior to the Monitored Asset being set to a Decommissioned state
allows the Monitored Asset to be permanently deleted from your OneVue account. If the sensor assigned to the Monitored Asset also needs to be deleted from OneVue, you must contact Primex Technical Support and request to have the sensor removed from your OneVue account.
-
Status resulting in State
Not applicable. State manually changed by a OneVue user.
-
Current condition
A sensor is not assigned to the Monitored Asset. Therefore, no reading or sensor device operating data is associated to the Monitored Asset. This state is set by OneVue and cannot be set by a user.
When in an Unmonitored state, OneVue:
does not monitor the Monitored Asset or generate alerts
-
Status resulting in State
Not applicable, set by OneVue when a sensor is not assigned to the Monitored Asset.
A sensor also provides visual and audio indicators that indicate its current operating state.
A Primex sensor has three LED indicators (green, yellow, and red) that provide a visual indicator of its current state.
When power is first applied, the LCD segments display and LED indicators briefly illuminate.
In addition to the sampled readings, the LCD screen provides visual indicators of its current operating state.
Segment |
Description |
|---|---|
Signal OK |
Indicates its last connection to the facility's network and check-in to OneVue was successful. |
No Signal |
Indicates the device could not establish a connection to the facility's network and check-in to OneVue. For wireless network use, this may be due to the device is not within range of a wireless access point or the wireless signal strength is not adequate for normal operation. If the device is powered by AC or Power over Ethernet (PoE), the yellow LED indicator also flashes during this state. |
|
Err (Temperature or Water Leak Sensor) |
For a temperature sensor: indicates either of the following: (1) a probe is either removed from or not inserted correctly into the sensor's probe input jack, or can be caused due to the probe is not operating as expected, or (2) the collection period must be reset, which may result from inserting a new probe or reinserting a probe. To clear the error state and reset the Lo/Hi collection period, verify the probe is inserted into the sensor jack and press and release the sensor Silence (bell) button For a water leak sensor: indicates the water detector is either removed from or not inserted correctly into the sensor's input jack or can be caused due to the detector is not operating as expected. During this error:
|
Low Battery icon |
Indicates an Alarm state due to its estimated battery life is less than 25%. To avoid loss of battery power, be sure to replace its batteries. Requires 2 AA Lithium AA batteries. The use of alkaline batteries is not recommended. |
Lbat |
Indicates an Alarm state due to its battery level is critically low. Replace its batteries immediately. Requires 2 AA Lithium AA batteries. The use of alkaline batteries is not recommended. Readings are not displayed, sampled, logged, or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
Up |
Indicates a firmware update is currently being applied to the device. Do not remove power during this state. When the firmware update is complete, UP is no longer displayed. Readings are not displayed, sampled, logged, or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
Con |
The device is in configuration mode. The config icon is also displayed. Data is not logged or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
|
H \ / F (HwF) |
Indicates an internal hardware failure. This is due to the main processor cannot communicate with the internal sensing element. Contact Primex Technical Support for assistance. Readings are not displayed, sampled, logged, or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
FTST |
Indicates the sensor is in a Factory Test Mode state. A sensor enters Factory Test Mode when its Silence button This mode does not impact the use of the sensor or the logged readings stored in its local memory. The purpose of this mode is for use by Primex during factory testing. When a sensor has entered this mode, it performs a factory test and power-cycles (turns off and on), which can take up to approximately 1 minute. Once the factory test is complete, the sensor returns to its normal operating mode. Readings are not displayed, sampled, logged, or transmitted to OneVue during this state. |
Primex sensors are equipped with a reading alarm audio alert. The audio alert is activated when a reading is out of range and the time period it has been out of range has exceeded the time period set in its Alarm Delay. Be default, the audio alert is disabled.
When the audio alert is enabled (disabled by default) and the sensor is in a reading Alarm state, the sensor emits an audio beep at one second intervals. Also, when powered by AC or PoE, the sensor's red LED flashes once per second.
During a reading Alarm state, pressing and immediately releasing the silence button
clears the audio alert and stops the red LED from flashing, but does not acknowledge the alert. The audio alert resumes once the time period of the Resume Audio Alert setting has been reached.Audio alert settings are configured from a sensor's gateway profile.
