Cut Band Alarm
When an asset transmitter is tampered with (cut band, improperly removed), an alarm is sounded on every Client
computer configured to monitor the unit, a message is displayed in the Event List, and the location of the
Alarming Band Receiver that detected the event is indicated on the map on the Client computer(s).
If your facility has enabled the Lockdown on Cut Band Alarms feature and the transmitter is configured as a “High
Risk” asset transmitter, a Cut Band Alarm will trigger a Global Lockdown. You can configure the Global
Lockdown feature to lock doors at All exits or By transmitter units. However, if a Cut Band Alarm is initiated
during an Escort or a Transfer, the systems automatically locks All exits and displays the alarm on all Client
computers and Quick Look displays.
To respond to a Blue Cut Band Alarm
1. Verify transmitter is applied correctly and without signs of damage or tampering.
2. From the Client computer, click anywhere in the Cut Band Alarm Message Box to access the Event
Information window.
3. Select one of the following event causes:
•Clear—no reason specified.
• Tes t —the system was being tested.
• Other—opens a Clear Reason window, user must enter the cause in this window.
You cannot clear an event until you select the appropriate cause for the event. The event is cleared from
the Event List of every Client computer configured to monitor the unit.
NOTE: When an asset transmitter is configured as HIGH priority, a Cut Band Alarm will
trigger a Global Lockdown. A low priority asset transmitters will not trigger a Global
Lockdown.
NOTE: Any perimeter alarms that occur due to a door open during a Cut Band Alarm
require that the Cut Band Alarm be cleared at the computer first, before the doors are reset
or cleared.
NOTE: You can click Silence to stop the alarm sound at the Central Server or Client
computer. The alarm is silenced at that computer only, for the configured length of time;
however, the event still appears in the Event List. The next event automatically restarts the
alarm sound.
