Sensors

The Sensors page enables you to view, search, add, edit, and delete sensors.

A Sensor is a device which senses an activity and sends an output based on the specific activity.

You must configure a sensor for an action with an alarm output. When the specified action is performed, an alarm is generated.

Viewing or Searching a Sensor

The Sensors page lists the sensors, along with the Device Type, Response Type, Loop Number, and so on.

To view or search a sensor:

In the AlarmNet 360 home page, type the City-CS-Sub or the MAC ID of the device and then click Search.
The account number, along with the device details, appears.
Under Actions, select Edit and then click the icon. The Account Overview page appears.
In the left pane, click Sensors.
Type the Serial Number/MAC in the search bar and then press Enter. The relevant sensor, with all the details, is listed.

Note:

Click Dismiss to dismiss the note against the Filter icon.

Filtering Sensors

The filter option enables you to perform an advance level of searching the sensors from the list.

To filter sensors:

In the Sensors page, click the icon. The Filter Sensors pane appears.
You can select either or all of the following:
- Configured Sensors: To list the configured sensors which has all peripheral information such as, serial number, device type, and so on.
- Default Sensors: To list the default sensors which the panel supports without configuration. This sensor appears as Default under the Status column.
- Not Paired Sensors: To list all the sensors which are manually added; and are not learnt by the panel. The available not paired sensor is SiXTM series sensor. This sensor appears as Not Paired under the Status column.
  
  SiXTM Contact
  
  SiXTM Motion Sensor
  
  SiXTM Glass Break
  
  SiXTM Smoke
  
  SiXTM Wireless Siren
- Paired Sensors: To list all the sensors which are learnt by the panel. This sensor appears as Paired under the Status column.
- Supervised: To list all the sensors which are supervised by the panel.
- Unsupervised: To list all the sensors which are not supervised by the panel.

Click Apply. Based on the selection, all the sensors are listed.

Adding a New Sensor

The Add Sensor option enables you to add a new sensor.

To add a new sensor, perform the following steps:

In the Sensors page, click Add Sensor. The Add New Sensor dialog box appears.
Enter the following details.

Fields	Description
Zone Number	Type the zone number of the zone.
Sensor Type	From the Sensor Type list, select the sensor type. Notes: Select a sensor type (RF 5800 or SiXTM series) and then click to read, learn, and enroll the sensor with the system. You can select: SiXTM Contact SiXTM Motion Sensor SiXTM Glass Break SiXTM Smoke SiXTM Wireless Siren RF 5800: The system learns only the Serial Number of the sensor. SiXTM: The system learns the MAC and the Sensor Version of the sensor. SiXTM Contact SiXTM Motion Sensor SiXTM Glass Break SiXTM Smoke SiXTM Wireless Siren During the learning mode, you must trip the sensor to complete the enrollment. DO NOT close the browser window when the panel is in Learn mode. Else, the panel will remain in STANDBY mode for 10 minutes.
Serial Number	Type the serial number for the sensor. Notes: For RF-5800, you must enter a seven digit serial number. For SiXTM series, you must enter a 16 digit MAC ID. SiXTM Contact SiXTM Motion Sensor SiXTM Glass Break SiXTM Smoke SiXTM Wireless Siren
Sensor Version	Displays the version of the selected sensor. Note: This is a read-only field.
Loop Number/Service	From the list, select a loop number to which the sensor is connected.
Device Type	From the list, select the device type.
Response Type	From the list, select the response type for the device type. Note: This is enabled based on the selected Device Type.
Zone Description 1	Type the description for the Zone.
Zone Description 2	Type more description for the Zone.
Chime	From the list, select the chime option. Note: This is enabled based on the selected Device Type.
Supervised	Select to enable the communicator to supervise check-in to AlarmNet 360 once per month.
Alarm Report	Select to send an alarm report to the supervisor.

Note:

The Response Type and Chime is based on the selected Device Type. For more information on Response Type and the availability of Chime option click here.

Click Save. A confirmation message appears.
Click OK.

Notes:

The Save and Add Another option in the Add New Sensor dialog box, enables you to save the newly created sensor and then add another sensor.
Click Cancel to cancel adding the sensor.

Editing a Sensor

With the relevant access permission, you can edit the existing sensors.

To edit a sensor:

From the sensors list, click the icon against the relevant sensor. The Edit Sensor dialog box appears.
You can edit the relevant fields and then click Save.

Note:

The following fields are disabled.

Zone Number
Sensor Type

Deleting a Sensor

With the relevant access permission, you can delete the existing sensors.

To delete a sensor, perform the following steps:

From the sensors list, click the icon against the relevant sensor.
A warning message appears.
Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

Pairing Sensors across zones

You can pair two different sensors with specific response type values, across different zones. For example, some of the response type includes, Day/Night, Perimeter, and Interior Follower.

The Cross Zones page displays the list of paired sensors.

Adding Cross Zone

To add a cross zone:

Click the Cross Zones tab and then click Add Cross Zone. The Add Cross Zone dialog box appears.
From the Sensor list, select a sensor for Sensor 1 and Sensor 2.
From the Delay list, select the delay value. The delay value delays the response type of the paired sensors.

Click Save.

Note:

You can add a maximum of four cross zones.
