Figure 7.      The PimaGuard interface

Configuration

1. On the left pane, double-click ‘General’, than double-click ‘Configuration’, or double-click any parameter on 

the right pane.

2. In the Configuration window that pops up, fill in the next CMS details:.

Figure 8.      The configuration window

A. CMS name: the Cental Monitoring Station or the customer’s name.
B. Note (here and everywhere else): free text for the customer’s use.

C. Password: protect the installation package and any future change by a password. If left blank, the 

PimaGuard will not be protected against fraud. The password can have up to 9 characters and is case 
sensitive.

D. Create date: the date the PimaGuard was created. Read only field. Create version: the PimaGuard version 

file (‘bs1’) version. Read only field. if the PimaGuard is upgraded, the ‘bs1’ file and the PimaGuard might 
have different versions.

E. Configuration file path: the location of the ‘bs1’ configuration file (automatic).

F. Account: a fault account (8000 in most cases). This PimaGuard self account/fault event is sent to the 

Central Monitoring Station via all the modules, each in its own protocol. If you don’t set any event, the 
PimaGuard will not report any fault.
The event transmission and reset are indicated by Windows ‘Exclamation’ tone, set in the Sounds 
Control Panel. See the Faults appendix on page 28. 

G. Event timeout: Set a time in minutes for the PimaGuard to keep events in a buffer, if transmission is 

delayed (unless incoming events fill up the buffer before).

H. Run delay: set a timeout in seconds for the PimaGuard application to wait after reboot and 

before running.

I. At first run: set commands to run when the PimaGuard application starts running. To insert a command: 

enter the command and press the Insert key; to erase a command: choose it and press Delete.

J. Language: select the interface language.

K. Beep time: set the error beep length in seconds. The beep can be temporarily stopped, by resetting the 

error or clicking anyway in the application window. If the error is not resetted, the beep will be sound 
hourly, even if it was temporarily stopped.

The ‘Run delay’ timeout, if set, precedes the execution of the ‘At first run’ file.
