Transponder Area

Wandering Alarm - Create a protected area by placing a virtual monitor fence around an area of the main map. These areas are defined in the transponder database. If this transmitter is constrained to remain within one of these defined areas, first select the defining transponder in the Transponder Name field. Then select the desired area from this dropdown list of the transponder’s area names.

For the wandering alarm to work, the supervision period must also be programmed for this transmitter.

Specific transmitters are marked in the Subscriber Database to be constrained within a specific fenced area defined by this option. If the transmitters leave their defined area, the system reports this as a wandering alarm and continues to monitor and track the location of the transmitter until the alarm is canceled from the screen in the normal way. However, these tracking updates can only occur every supervision transmission period (not on an accelerated rate like a tracking alarm).

The Security Escort System computes the location of the transmitters when they broadcast automatic supervision transmissions periodically.

Because of the basic location accuracy and the floor-to-floor accuracy of the system, there is a potential for some false alarms. If false alarms are a problem, check the Filter Virtual Fence checkbox in the Edit Security Preferences Screen. If you do this, two successive location calculations indicate the transmitter moved outside the protected area before an alarm was generated. The downside of this is a delay in the reporting of a wandering alarm of one extra transmitter supervision period.

Alarm Group

This is the alarm group that controls the arm/disarm status of this transmitter. Select the desired alarm group from the dropdown list. This alarm group must be armed for this transmitter to cause an alarm, which is displayed. If no alarm group is assigned, the transmitter is always armed.

Requires Check-in

When this checkbox is checked, this transmitter activates once each day during the check-in schedule time. At the end of the check-in period, if the subscriber fails to check-in, a Failed to Check-in Report is generated and presented to the operator. This report contains all of the people who failed to check-in with their first address line and phone number. All subscribers in the report must be checked on to make sure they are not in need of assistance, as this may be a life- threatening situation. A printed report may be generated.

If the transmitter is not a point type, the transmitter can generate alarms and therefore a test transmission is used for the check-in.

If the transmitter is a point type, any non-trouble transmission serves as a check-in.

One of the ten schedules must be selected as the check-in schedule to define the check-in period.

3.1.6 Transponder Database

The Transponder Database is established at system set-up and contains all necessary configuration data for each transponder, receiver, and alert unit. It describes the basic structure of the installation, including all device names, locations, types, multiplex addresses, and so on. This information is used by the central console to generate alarm and test displays on the central console and in determining which alert units are activated.
