What should the Control Panel expect from a sensor set to Supervisor mode?

When a sensor is set to Supervisor mode, it is designed to send regular timed signals to the Control Panel. This mode allows the system to perform regular checks to verify that the sensor is functioning properly and to ensure it is communicating as expected. Regular timed signals provide a consistent and predictable pattern of communication, which helps maintain system integrity and allows for early detection of any potential issues with the sensors.

In contrast, other options such as irregular signals, no signals, or continuous signals do not accurately reflect the operational standard of the Supervisor mode. Irregular signals would imply erratic communication, which is not typical for a properly functioning system. No signals would indicate that the sensor is inactive, which is also not the intention behind the Supervisor mode, as it is meant to ensure the sensor is operational. Continuous signals could suggest an overwhelming amount of data or a malfunctioning sensor, which is not how Supervisor mode is designed to function. Therefore, the expectation of regular timed signals is consistent with the intended purpose of oversight and reliability in the system.
