General
The basic settings for each device include the activation status (on/off) and a name under which all alarms and warnings reported by this device are displayed. This should be as clearly descriptive as possible in order to distinguish the devices.
By selecting the higher-level alarm group, the device is assigned to the system hierarchy.
Alarms are signaled in the higher-level alarm group.
External sensors
SiteManager KSM-DR-02 only
External sensors such as door sounders or leakage sensors can be integrated into KentixONE via the digital inputs.
An external sensor with an active alarm assignment (not “Off”) is displayed as a separate device in the Detail View and therefore also has its own alarm evaluation.
The external sensor is always carried out in the configuration screen of the device to which the sensor is connected.
In the standard configuration, an alarm group cannot be armed if an alarm is pending (so-called forced operation).
If the higher-level alarm group is to be armed even if an alarm is pending for the external sensor, the “Always arm” option must be activated.
| Name | API value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| From | off | The alarm is deactivated for this input and the status/measured value is not updated. |
| Sharp-Active | armed-active | If the higher-level alarm group has been armed, alarms can be triggered. The status/measured value of the input is updated. |
| Permanently active | always-active | Alarms can be triggered independently of the switching status of the alarm group. The status/measured value of the input is updated. |
| fire | fire | Alarms can always be triggered. These are reported as fire alarms. |
| Sabotage | sabotage | Alarms can always be triggered. These are reported as sabotage/intrusion alarms. |
| System message | system | Alarms can always be triggered. These are reported as a system message. |
| Display only | display-only | No alarm evaluation takes place. The status/measured value is still updated. |
| Arming and disarming | arm-disarm | The assigned alarm group can be armed and disarmed via the input. |
| Arming | poor | The assigned alarm group can only be armed via the input. |
| Disarming | disarm | The assigned alarm group can only be disarmed via the input. |
Up to four external sensors can be connected.
Switching outputs
SiteManager KSM-DR-02 only
The digital switching outputs can be used to control external systems such as sirens, LEDs or locking components (motorized lock, etc.).
The meaning of the alarm assignment differs for switching outputs; in this case, it indicates the function of the switching output or which alarms the output should switch when they occur.
| Name | API value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sharp-Active | armed-active | If an armed-active alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgement also causes the output to drop back to low level prematurely. |
| Permanently active | always-active | If a permanently active alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgement also causes the output to drop back to low level prematurely. |
| fire | fire | If a fire alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgement also causes the output to drop back to low level prematurely. |
| Sabotage | sabotage | If a tamper alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgement also causes the output to drop back to low level prematurely. |
| System message | system | Alarms can always be triggered. These are reported as a system message. |
| Only for external devices and switching outputs | ||
| Collective alarm (group) | collected-alarm | Output is switched to high level as long as an alarm is present in the higher-level alarm group. Acknowledgements have no effect. |
| Manual | Manually | Currently without function |
| Open doors signalize | signal-open-doors | Currently without function |
| Collective alarm armed-active (group) | collected-alarm-armed-active | Output is switched to high level as long as an active alarm is present in the higher-level alarm group. |
| Collective alarm permanently active (group) | collected-alarm-always-active | Output is switched to high level as long as a permanently active alarm is present in the higher-level alarm group. |
| Collective fire alarm (group) | collected-alarm-fire | Output is switched to high level as long as a fire alarm is present in the higher-level alarm group. |
| Collective alarm sabotage (group) | collected-alarm-sabotage | Output is switched to high level as long as a tamper alarm is present in the higher-level alarm group. |
Up to four external devices can be connected via a switching output. For switching outputs, the meaning of the alarm assignment differs from the other setting options; in this case, it specifies the function of the switching output or which alarms the output should switch when they occur.
| Name | API value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sharp-Active | armed-active | If an armed-active alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgement also causes the output to drop back to low level prematurely. |
| Permanently active | always-active | If a permanently active alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgement also causes the output to drop back to low level prematurely. |
| fire | fire | If a fire alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgement also causes the output to drop back to low level prematurely. |
| Sabotage | sabotage | If a tamper alarm occurs in the assigned alarm group, the output is switched to high level for the set switching time. An acknowledgement also causes the output to drop back to low level prematurely. |

| Collective fire alarm (group) | collected-alarm-fire | Output is switched to high level as long as a fire alarm is present in the higher-level alarm group. |
| Collective alarm sabotage (group) | collected-alarm-sabotage | Output is switched to high level as long as a tamper alarm is present in the higher-level alarm group. |
Webhooks
Webhooks in KentixONE offer the option of sending an HTTP request to an external server when an event occurs. Each webhook can be assigned the types of alarms or warnings for which it should be sent.
Webhooks also offer the option of mapping functions via the KentixONE SmartAPI that are not available via the standard configuration.
For example, if a fire alarm occurs, the switching outputs of an AccessManager could be activated to unlock the connected motorized locks.
Test functions
The physical functions of the device can be controlled manually here in order to test them.
