On This Form (Standard )
- Name: A suitable name indicating the operation
or usage for this custom point type;
- Preprocess:
Either the duration that the
point must REMAIN triggered before an
alarm will be audited, or
the point type /
operation;
Door: The 'Door' selection is normally used with doors
that are monitored, but not electronically controlled for
personnel access. For access-controlled doors, a
dedicated 'Door Contact' input is provided on the door-
control module (which is set up through the Door
screen). As well, door inputs cannot be set for a 24-hr
monitoring, and cannot be bypassed (regardless of
whether "bypassable" is selected or not).
Extended
: This pertains to garage door sensors, and
other applications where a longer delay time is
desired. With this setting, the area "Extended" delay
will apply, and the area can be armed while the input
is 'tripped'.
Keyswitch Arming/Disarming
: With 'pre-process' set to
"Keyswitch...", the "Level" setting provides selections
for "Arm" and "Disarm". The chime operation changes
as well: If "Chime ()", and
the area is set for "Stay on
Fail to Exit", the area will be armed to 'Stay' if no users
exit after turning the switch (not-Ok
to Ok).
Conversely, if the chime is not selected, the "Stay on
Fail to exit" setting will be ignored (the area will fully
arm to 'On'). Note: With an arming keyswitch,
disarming is typically done through an LCD keypad.
Guard Tour
: This pertains to guard-tour checkpoints
(stations). For this application:
+ The 'class' should be set as "supervisory";
+ The 'level' will typically be set as "24hr";
+ Any "Transmit" selections will be ignored (guard-tour
point activity is referenced locally during the
monitoring of a guard-tour).
WorkLate
: This pertains to a button that can be
pressed (during the pre-arm cycle) to delay the
scheduled closing time for the area associated with
the input-point. To set the time extension for
WorkLate buttons in a specific area, refer to the "Work
Late Input Point" setting under "Areas and Related
Settings".
Notice:
Outside of the 15 minute pre-arm cycle, a
worklate point acts as a standard burglary point. This
allows (for example) a motion sensor to function as a
worklate trigger during the pre-arm cycle, and as a
standard motion sensor during its monitored times.
Be careful to set the “Level” and “Transmit / Sonalert /
Siren” values as suitable for your specific application.
Command Point
: This allows a button or sensor to
command a device associated with: Any specific
panel, Any area or door number (ID) across all
panels, or All panels/areas/doors of an account.
Tip: The actual command is selected when setting up
the specific sensor(s)/input-point(s).
Related Topic
: Configuration, Input Points,
Command.
See: Input Points—Monitored Sensors (previous).
Activity Monitor
: This 'officially' detects activity in an
area. For details, refer to "Activity Monitoring and
Auto-Arming" in the 'Area' configuration topic.
- Level: The arming levels of the area assigned to
the point for which the point will be fully
monitored by the system.
Exception: For keyswitch operation, see the previous
"Keyswitch" note.
Activity Monitor
: The arming levels of the input
point's area for which the point will be treated as an
activity monitor versus a standard sensor (e.g.,
Burglary).
- Class: The basic classification for the point /
sensor (this is referenced in messages
transmitted to the monitoring station);
For Command Points: These are fixed as
'Supervisory'. As well, other than issuing the specific
action, command-points are monitored only for
'Tamper' conditions.
-------------------------
- Bypassable: Whether or not the point can be
bypassed (by a user with 'bypass' authority)
should the need arise (e.g., to allow arming an
area with a broken window, faulty sensor, etc.).
- Chime: Whether or not three short beeps will be
signalled at keypads in the area assigned to this
point whenever the point is triggered (this can
be ‘toggled’ off at a keypad by pressing ƒ5);
Exception: For keyswitch operation, see the previous
"Keyswitch" note.
- Pre-Alarm Warning: For associated input-
points, alarm transmission (to the central
station) will be delayed as per the "Pre-Alarm
Delay" setting (for the specific 'area'). During
the delay, keypad sonalert(s) will be sounded,
giving an authorized user time to "Silence" the
alarm at a keypad. (Selecting "Verify User" will
cancel the alarm transmission.)
Siren Time: To allow a pre-alarm warning to occur,
the siren time for the panel must be greater than 30
seconds. (Siren Time appears under:
Configuration, System, Standard )
For details on setting the "Pre-alarm Delay" time, refer
to "Areas and Related Settings".
To assign an area to be monitored by a specific
keypad, refer to "Expansion Modules".
