Central Console Response

 

During Alarm

After acknowledging the alarm

 

 

 

 

transmission from the first

 

 

transponder, the central console begins

 

 

its alarm analysis while collecting the

 

 

alarm data from all other transponders,

 

 

which had receivers that detected the

 

 

alarm. The Subscriber Database is

 

 

checked to determine the appropriate

 

 

reaction to the alarm. If the

 

 

transmitter is assigned to a valid

 

 

subscriber and it is not designated as

 

 

a security or watchman device, the

 

 

central console commands the

 

 

transponders to turn on the appropriate

 

 

alert units. Depending on the settings

 

 

selected in the Security Preferences

 

 

Screen, this enables only the strobe

 

 

portion of the alert unit, or both the

 

 

strobe and siren. If the transmitter is

 

 

unassigned, or has been disabled by

 

 

selection of that option in the

 

 

Subscriber Database, no commands will

 

 

be issued to activate the alert units.
