screens that can display multiple videos from one or many cameras

30
Q

what does an iMonitor do

A

iMonitor is the ASN monitoring application used to monitor alarms and system activity

what does acknowledging an alarm do

A

silences the alert beeping occurring during the alarm

32
Q

what is an emergency duress

A

provides a means for personnel under duress to set of a silent alarm that will annunciate at BODC notifying 412 SFS of a duress situation

33
Q

what is a SCIF LATCH

A

due to SCIF requirement, an alarm received from a SCIF facility will also send a “SCIF LATCH” alarm. This indicates that the owner/user has acknowledged the alarm event at his/her keypad. SCIF alarms will not be reset until a Master Code by SCI-Indoctrinated personnel is entered at the facility

34
Q

what is an alarm point

A

this alarm indicates the violation of a protected area or device (ex: door) or violation of the reported programmable alarm point.

35
Q

what is a DELAY DOOR VIOLATED alarm

A

this alarm indicates a violation of an alarm point starting the Entry Delay timeout, and the time allowed for disarming the system/partition (usually 30 sec) has expired.

36
Q

what is a DISARM WITH ALARM

A

this alarm typically follows DELAY DOOR VIOLATED alarm. Indicates that a user entered a valid disarming sequence at the keypad with an active alarm after the specified time limit expired.

37
Q

what is a TAMPER alarm

indicates a violation of a tamper alarm point, such as a cabinet door (panel enclosure) being opened or a PIR cover being removed.

38
Q

what is a EMERGENCY DURESS alarm

A

indicates a user entered the distress sequence on keypad

39
Q

what is a DISABLED ALARM POINT

A

40
Q

what is a LATE TO ARM/DISARM alarm

A

this alarm is sent to the monitoring computer if the system/partition does not arm or disarm by the programmed close/open time

41
Q

what is a PERIMITER VIOLATED alarm

A

indicates a violation of an alarm point with sensor(s) monitoring the system’s/partition’s perimeter (e: internal door). In circumstances where the perimeter area can be monitored by VMS, ensure the camera is displayed on a monitor to maintain visual assessment of an alarm point.

42
Q

what is a TARGET(S) DETECTED alarm

A

alerts an operator that a radar has detected something/someone within its target area

43

indicates a valid entry, but the controlled door remained open beyond the allotted time

45
Q

what is ENTRY DENIED-INVALID PIN alarm

53
Q

when are alarm authentication codes changed

A

change codes every six months or immediately upon compromise or reassignment of personnel

54
Q

what is an IDS failure

A

loss of sensor coverage caused by excessive false/nuisance alarms, maintenance, or system malfunction. Compensatory measures will be implemented for IDS failure. For the BFTF, AM will conduct IVA while the ISRT will conduct sector sweeps. Main Base patrols will conduct sector sweeps for IDS not meeting requirements.

55
Q

what does a Major Malfunction require

A

an immediate maintenance response not to exceed four hours and must be corrected to as least partial failure

56
Q

what does a Catastrophic Failure require

A

an immediate maintenance response not to exceed one hour

57
Q

what is a down panel

A

indicates a panel is not responding, therefore no alarms can be sent to ASN. Indicates the panel has powered down (AC power is OFF and battery power depleted)

58
Q

what is a line interrupt

A

indicates there was an unexpected interruption in panel communication

59
Q

what is an option ram sumcheck

A

typically reported during initial download of a dedicated line panel. if it reports at any other time, it indicates an options failure, meaning the panel programming are not the same.

60
Q

what is an AC power down

A

this alarm activates within 1-5 minutes after an AC power loss. The panel reporting “AC POWER DOWN” appears in disabled.inactive list in iMonitor until AC power is restored .

61
Q

what is LOW BATTERY alarm

A

indicates limited operating time remaining . Notify ESS NCO/On-site Advantor Tech to prevent risk of losing critical data when no power is available

62
Q

what is BATTERY PROBLEM alarm

A

indicates that AC power is present, but backup battery is inoperative
