Detector

The "Detector" app allows a digital input to be used for alarms or notifications. For example, it can be used to integrate devices such as fire detectors into the Smart Building Automation system.

The Detector app is located under "All Apps" – "Detector".

Create

To create a "detector", a Schrack Smart Building Automation digital module, like the "D1180" or "D1344", with a digital input is required. Then, follow these steps:

Open the 'digital inputs' app under 'all apps'.

Select the digital input that will be used as a detector.

Open the settings of the selected digital input and set the mode to 'detector'.

The digital input is now configured as a detector and is listed in the 'detector' app.

Configuration

Each Detector allows you to configure the triggered alarms. Here you will find the description about all available options.

Type
This are pre configured settings for different use cases. Each one comes with a predefined notification text, settings and specific icon.

Alarm after
Defines the timespan for which a signal has to be active on the digital input to trigger an alarm.

Notification
Here you can choose to receive a notification once an alarm gets triggered.

Notification text
Set the text you want to see in the notification.

Alarm must be acknowledged
If this option is active, an active alarm has to be manually terminated instead of ending once the input signal stops.

Reserve (hide in visualization)
Once active, the Detector will be hidden in the visualization.

Icon
Defines which image should be used for this Detector.

Alarm Output
You can choose a digital output, which will be triggered in case of an alarm, here.

Mode
Here, the Digital Input which is used for this Detector can be switched back to another mode.

Simulation on
Activates the simulation and allows you to set a value via the setting 'Simulation Value'. Attention: If the simulation is active, real values are ignored!

Simulation Value
Change the simulated value with this setting.

Operation

After you changed a Digital Input into a Detector, it will react to incoming signals and trigger an alarm, depending on its configuration.

A detector will display if his input is currently active and if it is triggering an alarm.
