Operating the PIR
The PIR monitors activity and reports it by sending notifications to the CP.
3.1.
Notifications
The PIR sends notifications to the CP for the following events:
The PIR detects motion
The room temperature exceeds the configured temperature threshold
The PIR battery charge is low
The PIR tamper switch is disturbed
3.2.
Supervision
The PIR is a supervised device. The PIR periodically transmits its status to the CP. If after a pre-defined
time the CP does not receive the status message, the CP sends a
Supervision lost
message to the
monitoring station.
