Dynamic alarms

 

Dynamic alarms provide a framework for creating specific alarms using alarm templates. These templates allow to combine different conditions (temperature, speed, driving time, RPM, axle load, current activity ...) with specific time schedules and geozones.

Note: Alarm templates can only be created, imported and edited by Transics personnel.

 

The "Dynamic alarms" settings screen is divided into 3 zones:

 

1.     The upper left zone contains the "Dynamic alarm filter" which allows the user to search in the available dynamic alarms on the right:

        Name: filter on the name of the dynamic alarm.

        Vehicle / trailer: filter on the vehicle / trailer to which a dynamic alarm was sent.

        Group: filter on the vehicle / trailer groups to which a dynamic alarm was sent.

        Active: filter on (in)active dynamic alarms (cf. Active flag)

2.     The upper right zone contains the available dynamic alarms.

3.     The zone below contains the details of the selected dynamic alarm in different tab pages. The availability of the tab pages depends on the settings of the selected dynamic alarm.

 

At the bottom of the page, you will find the buttons Copy, Save, Cancel:

 

  • Press Copy to create a new dynamic alarm starting from a copy of the selected alarm.

  • Press Save to save your modifications.

  • Press Cancel to cancel your modifications.

Advanced

The Advanced menu at the bottom allows you to import or edit alarm templates.

Note: Alarm templates can only be created, imported and edited by Transics personnel.
