Operating instructions

Running a Tour
A Tour sequentially displays a selected series of camera video
inputs on a monitor. Monitor Tours are temporary tours
defined by non-menu programming, page 3-4. System Tours
are defined by menu programming, page 4-5.
To start a Monitor Tour:
- Press the keyboard RUN button following programming of
the tour (see page 3-4).
To start a System Tour (from the keyboard):
1. Call the monitor to run the tour on.
2. Enter the System Tour number (1 - 64) on the keypad.
3. Press the RUN button on the keyboard.
4. Press the keyboard ACK button within three seconds of
pressing the RUN button.
If the ACK button is not pressed within the 3-second
period, repeat the above sequence from step 2.
System Tours also can be called (started) automatically by
Event Timers, see page 4-9.
Note: Only one tour can be started on and associated with a
monitor at one time. If a Monitor Tour is programmed for
a monitor and then a System Tour is called to that monitor,
the Monitor Tour is erased.
While a tour is running, the on-screen Status Line shows the
dwell time for each camera in the tour. When running a tour in
the forward direction, an “F” is displayed beside the dwell
time; when running a tour in the reverse direction, an “R” is
displayed. Press the NEXT or LAST button at any time to
change the running direction of the tour.
To stop (“Hold”) a tour:
- Press the keyboard HOLD button to stop a tour on the
currently displayed camera.
- If a dwell time of 61 is programmed for a camera, the tour
automatically stops and Holds on that camera.
When the tour is stopped by either of these actions, the monitor
displays the camera that the tour is stopped on, and the
message “HOLD” is displayed in the Status Line. While a tour
is on Hold, any camera control actions (pan, tilt, lens, preset, or
auxiliary) may be performed on that camera.
To change the running direction of the tour on Hold:
- Press the NEXT button to advance the tour one step and set
the direction of the tour to forward.
- Press the LAST button to back up one step and set the
direction of the tour to reverse.
- Press the B-PAS button to remove the camera on hold.
- Press the RUN button to continue running the tour.
Calling a System Salvo
A System Salvo simultaneously calls a group of cameras to a
contiguous set of monitors. System Salvos are defined by
menu programming, page 4-7.
T
o call a System Salvo:
1. Call the first monitor of the contiguous group of monitors
for the desired salvo.
2. Enter the System Salvo number (1 - 8) on the keypad.
3. Press the keyboard Salvo button.
System Salvos can also be called automatically from System
Tours, Alarm Contacts, and other System Salvos.
Acknowledging an Alarm
When a monitor is armed for an alarm contact, the video
associated with that alarm contact is displayed on the monitor
when the alarm is received (see Alarm Programming,
Appendix page A-2). If the monitor is armed for Manual
Clear, use the ACK button to clear the alarm.
