Status of Monitored Sensors
(Input Points)
The 'point' status screen shows the status of
monitored sensors, and lets you bypass a
faulty sensor to allow arming an area.
Permissions/Authorities: This feature can be used by
operators with "Control and Status" permission, when
they log into 'Control & Status' as a user with the
authority to bypass input points.

Viewing the Status of a Specific Sensor
Use the Grid / Form toolbar-button to select
your preferred view-mode.
Forms view: Details for one sensor at a time;
Grid View: All defined sensors in a list.
Select a desired sensor (input-point) in the list.
Tip: In 'forms' view, you can select an item at the
bottom of the form, or use the 'Find' and 'Find Next'
buttons (binoculars) to search by name (or 1st few
characters--e.g., nam*).
Then, refer to the selection-descriptions for this
screen while viewing the status topics for the
desired input point(s).
Tip: Active status items, and available button(s) are
displayed in color. Be sure to dispatch someone to
deal with any conditions that require attention.
Bypassing a Specific Input-Point
To bypass a specific input-point, allowing its
area to be armed, or remove a 'bypass',
allowing the sensor to be monitored:
 Select the desired input-point (bottom of the
'forms' window);
 Click [Bypass] or [Remove Bypass] as
applicable;
If the button is not present, this means either that the
input-point is not of a 'bypassable' type, or you do not
the authority to bypass input-points.
A user's authorities can be set to automatically remove
any 'bypasses' that are in effect when they enter an
area (to help ensure that any faulty sensors are not
forgotten). For details, refer to the "Auto Remove
Bypass" setting under "Authorities for Users/Entrants".
