Virtual Fence Area
If this checkbox is checked, this area
is not used for a normal alarm area
location. This area is only used to
define a virtual fence. Specific
transmitters in the Subscriber Database
can reference this transponder and
area. When they reference this area and
the system locates the transmitter
position outside the area, a Wandering
(Virtual Fence) Alarm is generated.
This alerts the operator and shows the
position of the transmitter.
Locate
When clicked, the Edit Transponder’s
Database Record Screen disappears and
the cursor changes to a cross hair.
Moving the cursor to a point on the map
and clicking the left mouse button
scrolls the map so the point is at the
center of the screen and all previously
defined receivers and areas are shown
with numerical labels.
When the map is showing the location of
the desired receiver, move the cross
hair to the exact location of the
receiver and click the right mouse
button. The Edit Transponder’s Database
Record Screen reappears and the
selected location is entered into the X
and Y coordinates.
When the map shows the desired
location, move the cross hair to the
exact location of the first point of
the polygon that describes the boundary
of the area and right click. Move the
cursor to the second point of the
polygon and again right click. The
computer draws a straight line between
the first and second points. Repeat
this process drawing all sides of the
polygon to define the area. To close
the polygon, place the last point on
top of the first point. The polygon can
have up to nineteen sides and no two
lines of the polygon may cross each
other. If you try to create more than
nineteen sides, the computer
automatically closes the polygon with
the nineteenth side. When the polygon
is closed, it can be crosshatched to
make it more visible. After the polygon
is complete, double click the left
mouse button to return to the Edit
Transponder’s Database Record Screen.
If the area being defined is a virtual
monitor “fence” area for Wandering
Alarms, the monitor fence (area
boundary) should be drawn at least 7.62
m (25 ft.) past the area to be
protected to reduce potential false
alarms.
If the cross hair cursor is displayed
and you want to exit without changing
any coordinate values, press the [ESC]
key and the Edit Transponder’s Database
Record Screen reappears.
