1.8.3 Modulated Alert
A Modulated Alert is a response of Detective Net to a local problem with the Detective Net device. It
is not a response to a command via the wireless network.
For example if a slave Detective Net device has lost connection to the network a modulated alert will
be sent to the locally-attached De. This will cause the De to go into Modulated Alert,
the beacon and lights will flash for 3 seconds followed by a 5 second pause; this pattern will then be
repeated. This modulated alert is to signify a difference to the Gas Alarm or Network Alert.
The following conditions can cause a Modulated Alert to be instigated:
• A slave device losing network connection to a master device (see
• A Detective Net device detects a low internal battery (see
)
• A Detective Net device detecting an internal fault (see
)
i
A Detective Net device in Modulated Alert signifies a fault with either the network or the
Detective Net device and should be investigated and rectified immediately to ensure the
wireless network continues to function as desired.
