The three properties related to this tamper switch CI are as follows:

  • Tamper Switch Enabled

    Default is false. If set to true, the onboard CI labeled TMP is polled once a second for a normally-closed (shorted) input. An open results in a tamperSwitch alarm from the default source SystemService.

  • Tamper Switch OK

    Read-only boolean that reflects tamper switch status as good (true) or bad (false). If the tamper switch is enabled, status is true while the TMP CI reads a closure (short), else false if the CI is open, which generates an alarm.

  • Tamper Switch Alarm Support
  • Expand this property to access additional properties to define how the station handles tamperSwitch alarms, including the alarm class and other alarm source information properties. Applies if Tamper Switch Enabled is true.
