1. Click the Status tab at the top of your screen in the web interface.
2. Scroll down to the Switch Sensors and look at the circuit state of the channel you
connected your sensor to. If you connected your sensor to the first switch sensor port on
Room Alert, look at Channel 1; if you connected it to the second, look at Channel 2, etc.
3. Notice the circuit state of Switch 1. It should show
the normal state, which in this case is “Closed.”
(Ignore the red color coding for now. We haven’t configured the sensor yet, so it’s still set
at the default: alarm on closed.)
4. Now put the sensor into an alarm state. To put a Motion Sensor into an alarm state, for
example, wave your hand in front of it.
5. Look at the circuit state at the same time. You should see it switch to the opposite of
normal. In this example, if normal is “Closed,” you
see the alarm state as “Open.” (Again, ignore the
green color coding for now.)
Now that you’ve checked what “Open” and “Closed” mean on your switch sensor, navigate to
Settings Æ Sensors to configure your options in “Switch Sensor Settings”:
1. In “Sensor Label,” you may leave the default, “Switch 1” (2, 3 or 4) or enter something
more descriptive, such as “Ext Motion” or “Main Entry.”
2. In “Alarm On,” select the alarm state (“Open” or “Closed”) required to initiate an alarm,
which you determined on the “Status” page. In our example, the alarm state to trigger an
alarm is “Open.”
3. In “Use Alarm Profile,” which controls devices connected through the Light Tower &
Relay Adapter port, you may leave the default, “No Alarm,” or choose an Alarm Profile
from the drop-down menu.
If you have a Light Tower (any model) or Relay Switch Sensor
connected to your Room Alert via a Light Tower & Relay
Adapter, you may configure Alarm Profiles. Please refer to the
Alarm Options section in this manual for further information.
