• Event condition is removed from Power Center; for example, the Threshold settings.
• Event condition is updated in Power Center; for example, the Threshold settings.

For example, when the
Power/Temperature Return to Normal
event is triggered, the corresponding
Critical
or
Warning
event becomes an
Informative
event. Using the Average Inlet Temperature as an example: If you set 50 °C as the
Critical
threshold and 40 °C as the
Warning
threshold, then
Critical
and
Warning
events are sent when the average temperature
reaches 60 °C. When the average temperature returns to 45 °C, the
Critical
event automatically becomes
Informative
.
When the average temperature returns to 35 °C, the
Warning
event automatically becomes
Informative
