You can add output relays to your maps to allow Security Desk operators to trigger output behaviors
on output relays from maps.
Before you begin
-
Create the map where you want to add
your output relays.
- Make sure you have output relay in your Security Center system.
Procedure
-
From the Config Tool homepage, open the Map designer
task.
-
Select a recent map or click Browse all maps to open an
existing map.
The selected map fills the Map designer
workspace.
-
In the toolbar, click I/Os (), select the output relay () you want to add, and drag it to where
you want it to be on the map.
The widgets for configuring the
map object appear in the right panel. The map object always takes on the identity of the
entity that it represents.
-
In the Identity widget, click Show
states, and then assign colors to the different output relay
states.
The system indicates the state, Normal, Active, or
Unknown, as a color dot over the icon. The color representing the
Unknown state cannot be changed.
Tip: To avoid cluttering
the map, you can hide the map object when the entity is found in certain
states. Clear the states that you want to hide.
When the state of the output relay changes, the state indicator changes
to the color configured for that state, or the icon is hidden.
-
In the Output behaviors widget, click Add
action (), select an output behavior and give it a name.
You can configure multiple output behaviors. When an operator clicks an output
relay on the map, the available output behaviors appear in a menu bubble.
-
In the Map designer toolbar, click
Save ().
