Cut Band Alarm
When an asset transmitter is tampered with (cut band, improperly removed), an alarm is sounded on every Client
computer configured to monitor the unit, a message is displayed in the Event List, and the location of the
Alarming Band Receiver that detected the event is indicated on the map on the Client computer(s).
If your facility has enabled the Lockdown on Cut Band Alarms feature, a Cut Band Alarm will trigger a Global
Lockdown.You can configure the Global Lockdown feature to lock doors at All exits or By transmitter units.
However, if a Cut Band Alarm is initiated during an Escort or a Transfer, the systems automatically locks All exits
and displays the alarm on all Client computers and Quick Look displays.
To respond to a Blue Cut Band Alarm

2. From the Client computer, click anywhere in the Cut Band Alarm Message Box to access the Event
Information window.
3. Select one of the following event causes:
• Tes t —the system was being tested.
• Other—opens a Clear Reason window, user must enter the cause in this window.
You cannot clear an event until you select the appropriate cause for the event. The event is cleared from
the Event List of every Client computer configured to monitor the unit.
NOTE: You can click Silence to stop the alarm sound at the Central Server or Client
computer. The alarm is silenced, at that computer only, for the configured length of time;
however, the event still appears in the Event List. The next event automatically restarts the
alarm sound.
