The upper limit is the highest temperature your appliance can be before being alerted
9. Set Lower Limit Temperature
The lower limit is the lowest temperature your appliance can be before being alerted
10. Set Suppression Time
Suppression Time is how long the appliance can surpass the Upper or Lower Limit before being alerted. We recommend at least 3 hours so you're not alerted every time a door opens for example. (You can change the alerts anytime as you see fit)

15. High Criticality Examples
High criticality is set up for when the appliance reaches a temperature that requires IMMEDIATE corrective action.
Here are a couple examples for a Refrigerator set at High: 42 Degrees, Low: 36 Degrees
Example 1: If the temperature has held at over 48 or under 32 degrees for one hour. We'll send an alert to the Manager, On-site tech, or any other appropriate person that can act quickly
Example 2: If the temperature ever reaches 55 or 25 degrees. We send out an alert INSTANTLY to everybody listed in example 1 plus the Owner, Regional Manager, etc. This requires action to be taken immediately to prevent spoilage &/or lost product.
