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:

Reed sensor:

For a Sensor security device type with the Circuit closure operation mode, an alarm event is generated in case of the sensor closure.  For a Sensor security device type with the Circuit interruption operation mode, an alarm event is generated in case of the sensor interruption.

If the Sensor is armed, then the "Alarm" event is generated in case of the sensor on/off switch depending on the specified alarm mode (see Creating and configuring the Sensor system object). If the Sensor is disarmed, then the "Closed"/"Opened" events are generated correspondingly. If the connection between the Intellect and the sensor is lost, the "Connection lost" event will be generated.

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.
