Configure Switch Off Warning Relationships

Area Cascading areas can be created directly on the floor plan, which shows the relationships between the configured areas.

Click the Highlight Area Cascading Areas icon to show Area Cascading areas on the floor plan. As the cursor hovers over each area, they are dynamically shaded in contrasting colours to show their Area Cascading relationships.

Add a Switch Off Warning area to the floor plan:

Draw the Switch Off Warning areas.
Right-click on the background area and select Area Cascading > Add Switch Off Warning to open the Edit Switch Off Warning dialog.
Click on each area on the floor plan that you want to make a Switch Off Warning area. Selected areas are shaded in pink on the floor plan and added to the dialog list.
After selecting all required areas, click the OK button.
To edit Switch Off Warning, right-click a configured area and select Area Cascading > Edit Switch Off Warning to open the Edit Switch Off Warning dialog.

- Set Enabled at startup to True if required. You can set this to False to leave it disabled initially and enable later by using a DyNet message.
- Set the Occupation timeout (seconds). This determines how long each area waits before it recalls the Standby preset.
- Set the Standby timeout (seconds). This determines how long each area waits in Standby mode before it recalls the Unoccupied preset.
  
  If a user recalls an Occupied preset during the Standby timeout period (typically by triggering a motion sensor or from a user interface), the Occupation timeout resets.
- Select the Standby preset. This preset is recalled when the Occupation timeout expires.
- Enter the Standby fade (ms). This is the fade time when the parent area recalls its Standby preset.
- Select the Unoccupied preset. This preset is recalled after the Standby timeout expires.
- Set Unoccupied fade (ms). This is the fade time when the parent area recalls its Unoccupied preset.
- Set the Occupied presets. This is a list of presets for which the area will recall the Standby preset after the Occupation timeout expires.
In the Areas section:
