System Setup - Set Up Inputs

Setup Inputs is where the user defines which sensors the Pearl™ will use, a process also known as sensor mapping. The screen above shows the typical sensor mapping for each sensor. If there is no particular sensor used, then leave the setting as None .

     Note: For Zone units, you should set all weather station sensors (OutT, OLight, WindSpd, WindDir, and Rain) to Remote .

     Setting the weather station sensors to Remote means the Zone controller will get their weather station data remotely from the Gateway controller

To Setup Inputs from Pearl Cloud Platform you would do the following:

To Setup Inputs from Pearl Controller you would do the following:

PREV and NEXT keys move the cursor from one input selection to the next. Using the + and - keys, the user can select which one of the input channels to assign to the sensors. Note that the allowable choices vary from one type of sensor to another. If any given sensor is not present, None should be selected. The Software choice is useful for testing and debugging purposes, as it allows the user to manually force the reading to a specific value if needed. The software value can be modified through the Calibration Inputs screen below. The Backup Sensor is an optional way to tell the Pearl™ which sensor it should default to in the case of a failure on the InTemp temperature sensor.

     Note: For the Backup Sensor to be used, it must be Enabled. See also Fallback Settings below to Enable the Backup Sensor.
