Creating Alerts on Scheduled Calculations

My site has pumps that have two vibration sensors mounted on each pump. Due to harsh cryogenic environment, these sensors often throw off spurious readings.

I wrote a fx calculation to develop a 2oo2 voting logic system for vibration alerts on a pump. The code includes logic to weed out the initial high vibration recorded during startup. I saved and scheduled the calculation and chose it to run once every minute (vibration sensor scan rate is 1 second on the chart).

The problem is that although the calculation works correctly on the chart display and my calculation ‘flag’ goes to 1 when both sensors exceed my defined threshold value, MONITORING ALERTS configured on the scheduled calculation NEVER GET TRIGGERED and no email alert notifications are received. 

I need to know what I am doing wrong and how to fix it.
