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. The sensor is always in 2 states simultaneously, therefore its icon on the map blinks and changes once in a certain period. State icons for different sensor types are shown below. The state written to the dbo.STATES database is given in the dbo.state column.

Heat sensor:

Glass sensor:

Ceiling sensor:

Window sensor:

Infrared sensor:

Smoke sensor:

Hermetic contact:

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.

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.
