PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER OPERATION
Do not install the unit in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive moisture, dust, or vibrations where ventilation is poor. Be careful of strong radio waves and magnetism: If the unit is near a source of strong magnetism, such as a radio or TV transmission antenna, power transformer or motor, the video signal may be subject to interference. Always use the power cord provided with or specified for this unit. CLEAN EXTERIOR Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Put cloth in diluted mild soap and wring it well to wipe off heavy dirt. Then wipe again with a dry cloth. To save energy, be sure to turn off the system when not in use.
Precautions for the PRESET SEQUENCE and AUTO PAN Operations
The life-span of the PRESET SEQUENCE and AUTO PAN functions is dependent on which camera model is used in combination with this unit. When using a TK-C675B camera, the guaranteed zoom lens operation count is 200,000 times. If the zoom lens operation is used often, the life-span of the PRESET SEQUENCE and AUTO PAN functions may be much less than expected. (Example) Assuming that a ZOOM operation is performed every minute and the camera is used 24 hours a day: 200,000 x 2 (times) 60 (minutes) 24 (hours) = 277 (days) Total operations count Daily operating hours For other camera models, please refer to the Handling & Installation Instructions manuals of the camera in use.

<The alarm operation stops automatically when specified time has elapsed>
When the time period specified in the ALARM TIME item in the ALARM screen has elapsed, the alarm operation stops automatically. The ALARM indicator turns off. The buzzer sound stops. The AUTO SEQUENCE mode returns to its situation before the alarm input. (A mode only) The camera which received the alarm signal returns to its setting before the alarm input. (AUTO PAN, AUTO PATROL or home position) The alarm title display clears. The UNIT ALARM maintains the MAKE position until the alarm conditions for all the cameras have been cleared. To set the alarm time REF. : [CONTROL UNIT SCREEN] on page 28 and [ALARM SCREEN : ALARM TIME] on page 32. NOTE When the ALARM TIME is set to SERIES, the alarm condition continues until the preset position, of the camera to which the alarm signal was input, is selected.

UNIT ALARM terminal Signals are continuously output during an ALARM occurrence. SELECT OUT / ALARM terminal When a particular camera or camera position is selected by using a combination of the numeric keypad and the CAMERA, POSITION buttons, the corresponding command signal is output via one of the DATA I/O terminals on the rear panel. REF. : See DATA I/O SCREEN on page 30, 31 for the assignment of each terminal.

A MODE

The master monitor displays the video signal from the selected camera. Use the CAMERA SW input to switch the video signal and record it on the VCR. The preset operation, manual operation, AUTO PAN operation and AUTO PATROL operation are available for each camera. When fixed cameras are used, only the video signal can be switched. The alarm operation is available using the DATA I/O terminals. Alarms with up to 100 positions per camera can be handled via the SERIAL-1 connector.
In the A mode, in which the camera signals are input directly to the VIDEO INPUT connectors on the rear panel, the DATA I/O terminals outputs as shown in the following table : Terminal Name AUTO Condition Signals The MAKE signal is output for between 500 ms and 1000 ms duration in the following cases. Power OFF ON. AUTO SEQUENCE (AUTO button OFF ON) When an AUTO SEQUENCE operation which has been interrupted by an alarm input resumes. The MAKE signal is output for between 500 ms and 1000 ms duration from the terminal corresponding to the camera number in the following cases. When AUTO SEQUENCE is turned OFF, the MAKE signal is output to the Camera No. terminal corresponding to the camera displayed on the camera indication. With AUTO SEQUENCE set to OFF, each time when the camera is selected, the MAKE signal is output to the Camera No. terminal corresponding to the camera selected. If an Alarm is input when AUTO SEQUENCE is activated, the MAKE signal is output to the Camera No. terminal corresponding to the camera to which the Alarm signal is input. If the PRIORITY item is set to ALARM, when there is an Alarm input while AUTO SEQUENCE is OFF, the MAKE signal is output to the Camera No. terminal corresponding to the camera to which the Alarm signal is input.

B MODE

The monitor displays the video that is switched by the frame switcher. The master monitor displays either a multi-split screen or the menu screen. The preset operation, manual operation, AUTO PAN operation and AUTO PATROL operation are individually available for each camera. Alarm operation with up to 16 alarm inputs is available by using the DATA I/O terminals. Alarms with up to 100 positions per camera can be handled via the SERIAL-1 connector. NOTES MANUAL operation of cameras and the menu operation are available even in the auto mode. As the frame switcher control signal is not output, the information in the CAMERA display does not change. In B mode in which camera signals are switched by a frame switcher, the DATA I/O outputs are as shown in the following table :

The MAKE signal is output for between 500 ms and 1000 ms duration in the following cases. When the AUTO button is turned OFF from ON status, the MAKE signal is output to the Camera No. terminal corresponding to the camera which outputs the signal to MONITOR OUTPUT. Each time when the camera is selected while the AUTO button is OFF, the MAKE signal is output to the Camera No. terminal corresponding to the camera selected. With the PRIORITY item set to ALARM, when there is an Alarm input while the AUTO button is OFF, the MAKE signal is output to the Camera No. terminal corresponding to the camera to which the Alarm signal is input.
8ALM OUT I/O 1 to 8 correspond to cameras 1 to 8. 16ALM OUT I/O 1 to 16 correspond to cameras 1 to 16.
The main signal is output at the terminal corresponding to the number of the camera which sent the alarm signal.
The CAM SWITCH is permanently OFF. The MONITOR OUTPUT 2 connector always outputs the same video as the MONITOR OUTPUT 1 connector.
