Picture Perfect 4.6
User Manual
To deactivate the motion-detector alarm during a routine patrol, the security guard simply swipes an
authorized badge through the toggle reader. Control’s input is deactivated; therefore, the Vault input
group cannot trigger an alarm, even though the motion detectors activate the Motion input group
while the guard is in the area. When the patrol of the vault is finished, the guard swipes the badge
through the toggle reader again, this time to activate it.

Defining micros
Each micro controller (micro) controls specific input and output devices, such as readers, doors, and
alarms. For the micro to work correctly, you must define communication-port characteristics such as
communication retries, polling interval, port assignment, and micro address. (The micro address set
in the software must match the micro address in the hardware.) Micro error conditions need to be
associated with alarms, input groups, and output groups. The required associations should be
defined using the various Picture Perfect forms, such as Ports, Modems, Input Groups, and Alarms,
before attempting to complete the Micros form.
Picture Perfect supports three kinds of micro communications: direct, dial-up and network. All three
types of communications can be combined on a single host.
Note:
Depending on the amount of traffic on a system, to avoid performance degradation, a line of micros should contain
no more than eight M5 controllers or 64 readers.
