Actions are acts executed by SONARPLEX. In general, they are internal programs that perform a task, like firing an alarm, switching it off, opening a door, arming a site, trigger simulations, etc. They can be executed by clicking on the action with the right mouse button. On the ri
If you click on the "Actions", on the right panel you may perform a search of the actions that have been executed in the SONARPLEX. You can see the date and time when the action was executed, as well as who was performing the action. When the action is performed by "nobody", it means it has been triggered by a status change in a service.
Sensor devices
Although operators do not need a deep understanding on the details of the sensor devices, it is good to have an overview of the different sensing devices that you may find in your SONARPLEX installation and their expected behavior, as it facilitate a better understanding of the system status and services behavior.

Temperature and humidity sensors
Keypad operations
This kind of sensors provide the temperature an humidity on the facility. They are easy to read from workers on site, as they have a panel indicating the temperature and humidity. These are typical active services, as they are polled by SONARPLEX at regular intervals.
Keypad operations
There are several operational procedures related to the keypad. If the SONARPLEX that you are monitoring has some keypad, you need to be familiar with the procedures of arming/unarming a site and opening/closing the facility, as this operations will be necessary whenever there is some worker that wants to access the facility.
A keypad is a device that will deliver key codes to the system. When the person trying to access the facility introduces the right code, the door will be opened and the facility will be disarmed.
Arming/unarming a site
A facility that has our SONARPLEX arming controlling solution installed can be armed or unarmed. An armed site will trigger an alarm whenever it detects movement inside the facility. When the site is unarmed, it means a worker has entered the facility. An unarmed site will trigger an alarm if there is no movement for some time, as there is the risk that the operator forgot to arm the site after leaving or, even worse scenario, that the operator had an accident inside the facility.
This arming/unarming of the site is handled automatically by the system. However, in some situations, you may find the need of arming or unarming the site manually. For this, simply execute the action "ARM_CTRLX_arm_site" or "ARM_CTRLX_unarm_site", where X must be substituted by a number that identifies the controller (most sites have just a controlled zone, but you may have sites with two or three separated areas that can be armed/unarmed independently).
Opening the facility
You can have an action configured by your administrators to open the facility. In case you are requested to open it, simply execute this action pressing with
Lone worker button and movement sensors
Siren deactivation
Use cases
This use cases are examples of common tasks that you will come across when operating SONARMANAGER and the SONARPLEX systems.
