Use the receiver selection when there 
is a physical receiver connected at 
this bus location. 

 

Use the alert unit selection when there 
is an alert unit connected at this bus 
location. 

 

Use the virtual selection when there is 
no physical device connected at this 
bus location. Starting with version 
2.03 of the Security Escort software, 
you can add virtual receivers in the 
Transponder Database. A virtual 
receiver is added at one of the 64 
points allowed per transponder. 
However, there is no physical hardware 
used. 
 
 
 
 
 

 

The virtual receiver is intended to 
compensate in cases where there is a 
receiver imbalance. For example, if a 
building with a dense population of 
receivers is adjacent to a fence with 
few receivers and an alarm occurs 
between them, the alarm location can 
pull towards the building. The virtual 
receiver references two other physical 
receivers that must be on the same 
transponder. Only if both of the 
referenced receivers receive an alarm 
transmission, is the virtual receiver 
added to the alarm as if a physical 
receiver heard the alarm at the average 
receive level of the two referenced 
receivers. The virtual receiver’s 
location and sensitivity can be 
adjusted the same as a physical 
receiver. After a virtual receiver is 
added, verify the surrounding areas to 
make sure they were not adversely 
affected. In no event, should a virtual 
receiver be utilized as a cost savings 
measure to avoid the installation of an 
actual receiver.
