Alarm Area Setup
In the Transponder database
under the File menu, select the
transponder that has the alarm
area desired programmed in it.
Then click Edit data. Click Show
areas and select the area
desired.
The Pager group field may be
programmed with a pager group
that will be paged if this area is
the most likely location of an
alarm. This pager group will be
the first group paged to allow
quick response by those
individuals charged with
responding to an alarm in this
area. Each area may be
assigned a pager group that can
be the same or different from
other alarm areas.
The default alarm pager group defined in the Pager Setup dialog will also be paged after the pager group
assigned to an area. If a pager group is not assigned to an area or the alarm location is not within a defined area
then only the default pager group will be paged.
Floor Level
Receiver 1
Receiver 2
Location
This selects the physical floor level that a receiver
is mounted at or a virtual receiver will act like it is
mounted at. It is very important for the operation of
the location algorithm that this setting is correct.
These are the 2 receivers on the same transponder that a virtual receiver will assume the
average of. Both of the receivers will have to receive a signal before the virtual receiver will
report that it also received a signal that is the average of the other 2 receivers signals. The
location algorithm and sensitivity adjust work the same for a virtual receiver as for a physical
receiver.
This block contains the text to be displayed on the "Alarm" screen if this Receiver is one of
those closest to the Alarm source. The description is developed with the guidance of the
security personnel who must respond to an Alarm. It is vital that the description be clear
and unambiguous to them.
To enter a location description, place the cursor in the "Location" text block, click the mouse,
and begin typing. Receiver and Alert Unit location names are important as they are used for
directing response to an Alarm and to aid service personnel in identifying the device in the
event of a problem. The problem reports that are displayed on the Console Screen and
printed by the Hardcopy Printer contain the device location descriptions that are entered in
the "Location" text blocks.
