Alert 1, Alert 2, Alert 3, and Test
Each receiver can be assigned up to
three alert units that are activated if
it is one of the receivers reported by
the transponder as part of an alarm
event. Each receiver can also be
assigned one alert unit that is
activated to confirm test
transmissions. These alert units do not
need to be connected to the same
transponder as the receiver. The
Transponder field contains the
transponder to which the designated
alert unit is connected and the Point
field contains the point number of the
alert unit on that transponder.
The test boxes similarly designate the
alert unit, if any, whose strobe unit
is activated in the event of a test
transmission from a transmitter.
To assign alert units to each receiver,
use the drop-down menus to the right of
the boxes labeled Alert 1, Alert 2, and
Alert 3 to select the transponder of
the designated alert unit. Type point
number into the Point field.

Algorithm
Starting with version 2.03 of the
Security Escort Software, there are
five different location algorithms that
can be selected on an individual
receiver basis in the transponder
database. Classic (original Escort
algorithm), linear, low pull, medium
pull, and strong pull. By default, when
a receiver is set for outside or tunnel
it uses the linear algorithm; all other
receivers use the low pull algorithm.
The receiver that hears the alarm
transmission the strongest determines
the algorithm used for this alarm.
Figure 18: Location Algorithm
Selection
Changing the algorithm setting for a
receiver only affects the location when
the alarm is close to this receiver and
it hears the alarm the strongest. The
stronger the pull the more the alarm is
pulled towards the receiver, with
linear having no extra pull.
The algorithm setting is only available
if the Enable algorithm tweaks field is
checked in the System Preferences
Screen. Also Security Escort Software
version 2.03 and higher, allows
individual receiver sensitivity to be
set in the Transponder Database.
Receivers can be adjusted from 50% to
149% of their normal sensitivity using
the SA% field.
Floor Level
This selects the physical floor level a
receiver is mounted at or a virtual
receiver acts like it is mounted at. It
is very important that this setting is
correct for the operation of the
location algorithm.

Receiver 1 and Receiver 2
These are the two receivers, on the
same transponder, that a virtual
receiver assumes the average of. Both
receivers must receive a signal before
the virtual receiver reports it also
received a signal that is the average
of the other two receivers signals. The
location algorithm and sensitivity
adjust work the same for a virtual
receiver as for a physical receiver.
