Use of sensors

A sensor is an external security device connected to the system.

The sensor can operate in the following modes:

1. Circuit closure: the sensor is armed when the circuit is open, and when the sensor circuit is closed, an alarm event is registered.
2. Circuit interruption: the sensor is armed when the circuit is closed, and when the sensor circuit is interrupted, an alarm event is registered.

When an alarm event is registered by a sensor, the operator must confirm that the event took place.

Each security device of the Sensor type is equipped with an intrusion sensor that is a physical device, giving a specific warning to the operator that an alarm event has occurred. The map displays icons of the following types of intrusion sensors:

1. Infrared.
2. Ceiling.
3. Glass.
4. Heat.
5. Window.
6. Flue gas.
7. Hermetic contact.
8. No specified type.

To operate the sensors, the operator can use the map (see Operations with sensors) or predefined macros (the Run menu in the main control panel).
