Tehama Configuration & Installation Tool (CIT)
You should have received a copy of the Tehama Configuration and Installation Tool (CIT)
software. This runs on a Windows based PC. More detailed information can be found in the
Tehama CIT User Manual or the Tehama QuickStart Guide.
The tool can be run on the PC either prior to or during a site installation, or when new MDT/
Sensors are added to a system. The tool is used to add configuration data to the database.
Examples of configuration data include the name, type, and location of equipment an MDT/
Sensor is connected to, and alarm trigger settings for the different MDT/Sensors.
