Pick Lists (bottom of the form)
-Panel Group & Panel references (optional; bottom
of the form): This is where you select a specific
panel-group and panel in a multi-panel system
where the 'tree' is not
set to show items on a panel-
by-panel basis. For more information on this
feature, refer to "Other Desktop Choices".
- Custom Point Type (bottom of form): This is
where you select a custom point-type to view or
edit. This area shows a reference number
assigned by the system, and the description,
once defined;
Note: Similar to physical items in a
system, each custom point-type pertains to an
individual panel.
On This Form (Standard )
- Name: A suitable name indicating the operation
or usage for this custom point type;
- Preprocess:
Either the duration that the
point must REMAIN triggered before an
alarm will be audited, or
the point type /
operation;
Door: The 'Door' selection is normally used with doors
that are monitored, but not electronically controlled for
personnel access. For access-controlled doors, a
dedicated 'Door Contact' input is provided on the door-
control module (which is set up through the Door
screen). As well, door inputs cannot be set for a 24-hr
monitoring, and cannot be bypassed (regardless of
whether "bypassable" is selected or not).
Extended
: This pertains to garage door sensors, and
other applications where a longer delay time is
desired. With this setting, the area "Extended" delay
will apply, and the area can be armed while the input
is 'tripped'.
Keyswitch Arming/Disarming
: With 'pre-process' set
to "Keyswitch...", the "Level" setting provides
selections for "Arm" and "Disarm". The chime
operation changes as well: If "Chime (√)", and
the
area
is set for "Stay on Fail to Exit", the area will be
armed to 'Stay' if no users exit after turning the switch
(not-Ok
to Ok). Conversely, if the chime is not
selected, the "Stay on Fail to exit" setting will be
ignored (the area will fully arm to 'On'). Note: With an
arming keyswitch, disarming is typically done through
an LCD keypad.
Guard Tour
: This pertains to guard-tour checkpoints
(stations). For this application:
+ The 'class' should be set as "supervisory";
+ The 'level' will typically be set as "24hr";
+ Any "Transmit" selections will be ignored (guard-tour
point activity is referenced locally during the
monitoring of a guard-tour).
WorkLate
: This pertains to a button that can be
pressed (during the pre-arm cycle) to delay the
scheduled closing time for the area associated with
the input-point. To set the time extension for
WorkLate buttons in a specific area, refer to the "Work
Late Input Point" setting under "Areas and Related
Settings".
Notice: Outside of the 15 minute pre-arm cycle, a
worklate point acts as a standard burglary point. This
allows (for example) a motion sensor to function as a
worklate trigger during the pre-arm cycle, and as a
standard motion sensor during its monitored times.
Be careful to set the “Level” and “Transmit / Sonalert /
Siren” values as suitable for your specific application.
Command Point
: This allows a button or sensor to
command a device associated with: • Any specific
panel, • Any area or door number (ID) across all
panels, or • All panels/areas/doors of an account.
Tip: The actual command is selected when setting up
the specific sensor(s)/input-point(s).
Related Topic
: Configuration, ÖInput Points,
ÖCommand.
See: Input Points—Monitored Sensors (previous).
Activity Monitor
: This 'officially' detects activity in an
area. For details, refer to "Activity Monitoring and
Auto-Arming" in the 'Area' configuration topic.
- Level: The arming levels of the area assigned to
the point for which the point will be fully
monitored by the system.
Exception: For keyswitch operation, see the previous
"Keyswitch" note.
Activity Monitor
: The arming levels of the input
point's area for which the point will be treated as an
activity monitor versus a standard sensor (e.g.,
Burglary).
- Class: The basic classification for the point /
sensor (this is referenced in messages
transmitted to the monitoring station);
For Command Points: These are fixed as
'Supervisory'. As well, other than issuing the specific
action, command-points are monitored only for
'Tamper' conditions.
-------------------------
- Bypassable: Whether or not the point can be
bypassed (by a user with 'bypass' authority)
should the need arise (e.g., to allow arming an
area with a broken window, faulty sensor, etc.).
- Chime: Whether or not three short beeps will be
signalled at keypads in the area assigned to this
point whenever the point is triggered (this can
