Creating & Editing a Schedule

The DATAssure™ scheduler schedules when activities will take place, these activities are:

• when sensors alarm (see Auto Inhibit Sensors)
• when alarm outputs action (see Alarm Profiles)

Five different schedules can be created; however, a sensor or alarm profile can only be attached to a single schedule. Each schedule has a 7-day schedule cycle, up to 10 exception dates (date ranges) can be added per schedule to allow for holiday periods.
