Operations with sensors

Sensor status indication

Identification of the sensor symbol on the Map depends on the current operating mode and sensor status, as well as the type of intrusion sensor. 

Sensor type security devices operated on the basis of circuit closure, interpret any sensor closure as an alarm event, whereas devices operated on the basis of circuit interruption, identify any sensor interruption as an alarm event.

Whenever a sensor is initiated on the Map, the colour of the symbol is changed depending on the occurrence of the alarm event (grey or blue). As soon as the sensor is armed, the colour of the symbol changes to green. As soon as the armed sensor registers an alarm event, the sensor symbol on the Map becomes red and starts blinking. When the Operator accepts an alarm event, the sensor symbol changes colour to green, however keeps blinking until it is disarmed. Where a new alarm event is registered after the first alarm event, the symbol of the sensor starts blinking and turns red again.

If the Sensor is armed, then at the Sensor switching on/off the "Alarm" event appears depending on the alarm mode setting (see the Creating and configuring the Sensor system object section of the Installing and configuring security system components guide). If the Sensor is disarmed, the "Closed" / "Opened" events appear correspondingly.

Operations with sensor

The sensor is operated via the feature menu of the given sensor symbol shown on the Map.

The feature menu of the sensor is called up by a right mouse click on the corresponding sensor symbol.

The feature menu of the sensor provides access to various operating functions of the sensor.
