1. Introduction
This page is used to configure and review alarm trigger limits for instruments across different revisions. These settings define threshold values that will trigger warning (AMBER) or critical (RED) alarms when the measured data exceeds specific conditions. This ensures timely alerts for abnormal readings in monitoring systems.
2. Page Navigation
Sign in to GeoSens.
Click on left-hand corner icon 'Setting', click to expand 'INIT | REV | CALI | DATA'→ click REV.Alarm Trigger Limits.
Instrument Type Filter: select instrument type to filter out and narrow down the list.
Alarm Trigger Limits Data Table: view and manage alarm limits details.
Function Bar: edit, export, delete, or copy alarm limits.
3. Instrument Type Filter
To use instrument type filter
Dropdown menu to filter alarm configurations by a specific instrument type used in the project (e.g., Load Cells, Inclinometers, etc.).
4. Alarm Trigger Limit Data Table
4.1 Field Introduction
Each row in this grid represents an alarm trigger setup for a particular instrument revision.
Column Name | Description |
Instrument Type | The type/category of the instrument for which the alarm is defined. |
Instrument Name | The unique identifier of the instrument associated with the alarm configuration. |
Revision | Configuration revision number. Used to distinguish between different versions of alarm settings. |
Alarm Level | Indicates severity of the alarm, e.g. 🔴 RED (Critical) or 🟠 AMBER (Warning). *Different Alarm Levels are customized in project setting - Alarm Level Set. |
Data Column | Specifies the monitored parameter (e.g., Force, Pressure, Displacement), and its unit/type. |
Trigger Limit | The primary numeric threshold. When exceeded, an alarm will be triggered. |
Trigger Limit 2 | Optional secondary threshold for advanced conditions (e.g., dual-limit checks). |
Trigger Applied To | Indicates which values the alarm logic applies to. Commonly |
Alarm On | ✓ (Check mark) indicates whether the alarm is active and applied. |
Notes | Optional text field for explanations or documentation. (Currently empty in this view.) |
NOTE: High-level fields like Instrument Type, Instrument Name, and Revision No. are non-editable. Only alarm limit related fields—Alarm Level, Data Column, Alarm Limit—can be edited.
NOTE: To create a new row / record for specific instrument revision, please use Data Entry Page for bulk-uploading.
4.2 Additional Information Column
Additional columns can be dragged and dropped from the column chooser '
' into the data table to customize the view and add more information.
Field Name | Description |
Prop Code | Identifier for the instrument property or revision for internal system use. |
From Date-Time | Start date and time for the alarm limit configuration. |
To Date-Time | End date and time for the alarm limit configuration. |
Range 1 | Threshold monitoring mapping value to be used if the Alarm level set by a DYNAMIC alarm. |
Range 2 | Threshold monitoring mapping value to be used if the Alarm level set by a DYNAMIC alarm. |
Created By | User who initially configured the alarm limits. |
Created On | Date and time when the configuration was created. |
Updated By | User who last modified the alarm limits. |
Updated On | Date and time of the most recent update to the configuration. |
NOTE: For more instructions on STATIC / DYNAMIC alarm, please refer to Manual - Dynamic Alarm Limit.
