15 Main Map Displays the overall diagram of the entire site or building. This window can be displayed from any point in the program by pressing the Building icon at the tool bar on top of the screen. Each floor or zone can be represented by a customized button noting its name. Clicking the button will display that picture on top of the main map. Icons representing objects in that floor or zone are displayed. When event(s) occur(s) the corresponding icons will blink at the corresponding site, until these events have been handled and Reset at the Events Table. SESAM 15

16 Handling an event When an alarm message from the panel to the PC triggers an event, the system locates the event and automatically displays its zone map. The object's icon blinks and an instruction window opens next to this icon. Simultaneously, a siren switches on until acknowledged on Events Table button (or Speaker icon at the tool bar or F9 Key). If several events occur at the same map, all objects blink and some or all windows (depending on setup) display instructions. Only the most urgent instruction windows should be open; close the rest by clicking the instruction header. User should respond to instructions immediately. Simultaneously, the event will be recorded in the Events Table. The actions taken by the user will be recorded in the Events Table and in the History files. Each event is automatically printed out to a printer the moment it occurs. (This option depends on SESAM setup and printer setup). Each icon in the map represents a certain type of event (Panic button, Magnetic sensor, Card reader, etc.). Icons are blinking in two colors - an alarming color and an idle color. When the alarm panel restores the event and the Events Table is acknowledged, the icon blinking will stop and alarming color will remain on, until the event is reset and deleted from the Events Table. Each icon has an instruction window that opens when an event occurs. The window's title denotes abbreviated event name. The instructions are addressed to the user and may be scrolled with the mouse. To close this window, click header where there is no icon underneath. The Icon graphic legend Several additions on the icon graphic illustration indicate different event conditions. A small question mark on Icon indicates that this object is undefined in the system database. A full-size question mark on the icon indicates that the icon bmp file is missing. The Icon's menu Each icon has a menu with several functions. To open the icon menu, click the icon by the right button. To close this menu, click the mouse left button at a location outside the menu area. The Icon's menu provides the following information and options: Displays address of object. Displays object s type. Object description SESAM 16

17 Disable/Enable Selecting this line will disable the object and the text will change to enable. A red cross on the icon will denote it is disabled. When an object is disabled, any event initiated by this object is not considered an event. The disable operation causes an internal disable event in SESAM that is sent to the Events Table and printed out to the printer. To cancel the disable status, go back to the Icon Menu and click Enable. The Disable Red Cross will disappear. A cancellation message will be sent to the security panel (optional, depends on panel and driver). Enable event will be initiated at the Events Table and printed out to the printer. Disable/Enable functions are followed by typical sounds. To stop it, press Acknowledge. To delete the disable/enable messages from the table, press Reset. The Disable/Enable option is displayed to the user only if authorization level is sufficient. An enabled alarming object will burst-in immediately after being reset. NOTE: Disable/Enable functions can also be carried out from the Disable utility window. SESAM 17

18 Day/Night Unlike the Disable function, this function temporarily deactivates objects under a timetable. When selecting Night, the object will be on Day mode, meaning that object detects events, but the system does not respond with alarm. NOTE: A blue rectangle surrounds the icon while in Day mode. If you return to the Icon Menu and choose Day, the object will move to Night mode, meaning that the object is active. The blue rectangle disappears. Usually objects will function in Day/Night mode under groups that are managed manually, or by time schedules. Whenever a blue small rectangle appears inside the icon, it means that zone is open. Day and Night event sounds are typical and can be silenced by clicking Acknowledge. These events are deleted from the Events table by Reset, or not shown at all, depending upon setup. Access to Day/Night management requires sufficient authorization level. An Alarming object in Day mode will burst in as an event once shifted to Night mode. Instruction Access-control reader control Selecting this line will open instructions window. Using the reader icon right button menu on a map can open up a door. Select the option Open lock.

SESAM 18

19 Memos are saved to History file with the event, and presented attached to historical reports. Map display during event Each event has priority in the scale of one to ten. When an event map is displayed, and a higher priority event with different map bursts in, the present map will minimize to a window. The higher priority map will be fully displayed on the screen. If an equal or lower level priority event bursts in, the new map will minimize to its window, and the previous event map will continue to be displayed on screen.
