Use the virtual selection when there is no physical device connected at this bus location. Starting with version

2.03of 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.

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.
