Configure X2-Base Radio Local Alarm

The CONNECT X2 base radio utility can monitor the status of configured alarms on a WQData LIVE project. When the base radio utility is enabled, a base radio X2 can be tasked to turn on 12V power to its P2 sensor port whenever a WQData LIVE alarm is triggered.

An external device connected to this port, such as a buzzer or beacon, can notify personnel of the alarm in the event that traditional methods of notifications (SMS or email) are not available.

Note: An active internet connection on the PC running the CONNECT software is required for data to be uploaded to WQData LIVE and local alarming to be processed.
