How to Trigger an Output Signal When an Asset is "Off-Site"

Introduction

If you need to send a command to your ARMOR 4 unit's output wire when a device moves off-site, you can easily configure this by adding a specific tag to the device. This feature allows you to trigger actions such as sounding a siren, turning on a light, energizing a relay, and more.

Steps to Configure the Output Signal

1. Access the Device Settings:

   • Ensure you are logged in with an Administrator account.
   • Navigate to the specific ARMOR 4 unit you want to configure.

2. Edit the Device Configuration:

   • Click on the Editicon next to the device to access its settings.
     • 

3. Add the Off-Site Trigger Tag:

   • Scroll down to the Tags section.
   • Add a new tag with the following values:
     • Key: offsite_disable
     • Value: true
     • 
       

How It Works

By adding this tag, the ARMOR 4 unit will send a command to its output wire when the device is detected as "off-site." This command can be used to:

• Sound an alarm or siren
• Turn on a light
• Energize a relay
• And more based on your setup

Conclusion

This feature provides an effective way to automate actions when your ARMOR 4 unit is taken off-site. Whether you need to alert personnel or control connected devices, setting up the offsite_disable tag is a straightforward solution.
