For a temperature-triggered policy:
In the Policy Settings section, select a monitoring period from the Monitoring time period drop-down menu, select or
provide the Temperature Threshold value, and then click Next.
Use the Temperature data section as a reference to set the temperature threshold value. Based on your selection of the
Monitoring time period value, the temperature summary details are displayed.
● The values change as you change the duration of the Monitoring time period.
● Select your preferred American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) temperature
threshold from the Temperature Threshold drop-down menu. Based on your ASHRAE class selection, the temperature
value is populated.
Select the ASHRAE standard relevant in your region or provide a custom value in Celsius only.
○ ASHRAE Recommended— 27°c (81°f)
○ ASHRAE Class A1 Allowable—32°c (90°f)
○ ASHRAE Class A2 Allowable— 35°c (95°f)
○ ASHRAE Class A3 Allowable— 40°c (104°f)
○ ASHRAE Class A4 Allowable—45°c (113°f)
● You can also provide a custom temperature threshold value.

Power Manager enables you to create and apply multiple policies on a specific device or group. In any instance, if multiple
policies are active on a device, either by policies set on the device or by policies set on the group the device is a part of, the
most restrictive power cap among the policies is applied on the device.
a. For the Time Span option, select Always for the policy to be active from the time of creation. If the policy does not
have to be active always when enabled, click Range and provide a time range during which the policy must be active
when it is enabled.
b. For the Day(s) option, select Always for the policy to be active from the time of creation. If the policy does not have to
be active always when enabled, click Daily, to select specific days on which the policy must be active when it is enabled.
c. For the Active Date option, select the date range during which the policy must be active when enabled.
NOTE: A temperature-triggered policy cannot be scheduled.
