Use the virtual selection when there is
no physical device connected at this
bus location. Starting with version
2.03 of the Security Escort software,
you can add virtual receivers in the
Transponder Database. A virtual
receiver is added at one of the 64
points allowed per transponder.
However, there is no physical hardware
used.

Point Type
The virtual receiver is intended to
compensate in cases where there is a
receiver imbalance. For example, if a
building with a dense population of
receivers is adjacent to a fence with
few receivers and an alarm occurs
between them, the alarm location can
pull towards the building. The virtual
receiver references two other physical
receivers that must be on the same
transponder. Only if both of the
referenced receivers receive an alarm
transmission, is the virtual receiver
added to the alarm as if a physical
receiver heard the alarm at the average
receive level of the two referenced
receivers. The virtual receiver’s
location and sensitivity can be
adjusted the same as a physical
receiver. After a virtual receiver is
added, verify the surrounding areas to
make sure they were not adversely
affected. In no event, should a virtual
receiver be utilized as a cost savings
measure to avoid the installation of an
actual receiver.
