To add a sensor login to the Centurion® and go to the Centurion Config menu then select the Sensor Setup menu. Under this menu you will see a register sensor option. After selecting register sensor you will be prompted to assign it a number, once this is done and you hit enter you will be asked to hit the reset button on the sensor. On a panic button the reset button is located under the back cover and is a small black button on the board. Once the reset button is hit your sensor is registered but still must be mapped in order to function properly.

Type in the number of the sensor you’d like to map or change and press enter. Once in the menu you can select which outputs you’d like to be active for this sensor.

To see how many licenses you currently have and how many have been used you will need to login to the Centurion®. Once logged in go to the Centurion Config menu then the Sensor Setup menu. Scroll to the second set of menus and enter the PCDuress Info menu. In this menu you can see how many licenses you have and how many have been used.

The PCDuress sensor number must be deleted from the Centurion. The PCDuress sensor can then be mapped and registered using the same sensor number on a different computer. Be sure to make note of the sensor mapping configuration in order to duplicate it when re-mapping. For more information on mapping and registering sensors, view the Sensor Setup section of the Owner’s Manual. For an alternate method using the Windows Registry Editor that can save time, view the attachment/link.
