Intrusion zones can be displayed as graphical areas in the graphic. Due to this functionality you can easily find out in what state is the intrusion zone and which parts of the building belong to it.

Creating Intrusion Zone Contours

You can create contours for intrusion zone objects in the graphic.

  • The Engineering perspective is displayed.
  • The graphic is displayed in the Graphics view.
  • The graphic has been calibrated.
  • In the Location Tree, intrusion zone objects have been created.
  1. In the Location Tree, right-click an intrusion zone object whose contour you want to define and select Zones > Define Contour.
  1. In the Graphics view, move the cursor to the appropriate position of the first corner point and click the point.
  • The cursor appears as cross with a blue rectangle.
  1. Click the following corner points. Make sure not to overlap any lines, since the enclosed area will then be highlighted in red and not be saved.
  1. To cancel drawing, press Esc.
  1. Double-click the last corner point of the contour.
  1. To save the contour, click OK.
  1. To cancel the action and not save the contour, click Cancel.
  • The contour is displayed with a dashed green line. The color reflects the current state of the intrusion zone. For more information on the color coding refer to: Intrusion Zones Color Coding.
  1. To apply the changes to the runtime client, perform activation.

Editing Intrusion Zone Contours

  • The Engineering perspective is displayed.
  • The graphic is displayed in the Graphics view.
  1. You have the following options to edit contours:
  • You can edit the outline directly after double-clicking the last corner point Edit.
  • In the Location Tree, right-click an intrusion zone and select Zones > Define Contour.
  • In the Graphics view, select a contour. The contour with a dashed green line becomes a solid line. Right-click the contour and select Zones > Define Contour.
  1. To delete corner points, complete the following steps:
  • Move the cursor to the point you want to delete.
  • Press and hold Ctrl.
  • Right-click.
  1. To move corner points, complete the following steps:
  • Move the cursor to the point you want to move.
  • Click and hold the left mouse button.
  • Move the mouse to the new position.
  • Release the left mouse button.
  1. To add corner points, complete the following steps:
  • Move the cursor near the line where you want to insert a point.
  • Press and hold Ctrl.
  • Right-click.
  1. To cancel drawing, press Esc.
  1. Double-click the graphic to save the changes and click OK.
  • The contour is displayed with a dashed green line again. The color reflects the current state of the intrusion zone. For more information on the color coding refer to: Intrusion Zones Color Coding.

Cropping Intrusion Zone Contours

To ensure an optimum contour, it can be necessary to crop intrusion zones.

Once a subtracting area is defined, it cannot be removed.

  • The Engineering perspective is displayed.
  • A graphic is displayed in the Graphics view.
  • A contour has been created.
  1. In the Graphics view, right-click a contour and select Zones > Define Contour.
  1. Double-click the contour and select Cut Out.
  1. Click the first corner point in the section you want to crop.
  1. Click additional corner points.
  1. To cancel cropping, press Esc.
  1. Double-click the last corner point.
  1. Click OK.

Defining Display Types of Intrusion Zones

You can define the display type of intrusion zones. At least one display type needs always to be defined. The following display types are available for intrusion zones:

  • Symbol display
  • Contour display
  • The Engineering perspective is displayed.
  • A graphic is displayed in the Graphics view.
  • A contour has been created.
  • You have the following options to configure display types:
  • In the Graphics view, right-click a contour and select Zones > Show Contour.
  • In the Graphics view, right-click a contour and select Zones > Show Symbol.

Positioning Intrusion Zone Symbols in Graphics

You can place the intrusion zone symbol independently of its contour in the graphic. By default, the symbol is displayed in the center of the contour.

  • The Engineering perspective is displayed.
  • A graphic is displayed in the Graphics view.
  • A contour has been created.
  • In the Graphics view, select the symbol and drag it to a position on the graphic.

Intrusion Zones Color Coding

Intrusion zones can display the following contour colors:

  • Green: Disarmed intrusion zones are shown in green color.
  • Red: Armed intrusion zones are shown in red color.
  • Yellow: Internally armed intrusion zones are shown in yellow color.
  • Blue: Intrusion zones in revision mode are shown in blue color.
