ALARM MENUS
Alarm handling of the TX1500 is programmed from the Alarm Menu screens.
Up to four actions can be carried out following each alarm activation. Eg four cameras could move to preset positions to
triangulate onto an event.
On selection of Alarm Menus the following screen is displayed
This example shows a system with a single 16 input alarm card.
The TX1500 will display the total number of alarms that can be
programmed based on the Maximum Alarm number set in the System
Basics menu.
Input Action:
Sets the action for the ALARM 00 input on the matrix monitor board. Use +/- to cycle through the options.
No Action – ALARM 00 is not used.
Disable Alm – is used to disable all alarms when ALARM 00 is shorted to GND.
Alarm 00 – ALARM 00 is used as an alarm input in addition to the TX1500/AL16 alarm card inputs.
NOTE: Always handled in ‘AUTOMATIC’ mode, regardless of ‘Alarm stack’ setting.
Alarm Beep Time:
Number of seconds that all the Keyboards ‘beep’ following an alarm input. Use +/- to cycle through the values.
0, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20 Seconds
Alarm Stack:
The matrix alarm handling can be automatic, ie the system will drive cameras to presets as alarms occur or require an
operator input before the alarm is actioned. Use the +/- to toggle between Automatic and Manual.
Automatic – Alarm activations are handled automatically
Manual – The ALARM key must be pressed to acknowledge an alarm activation
Relay 1 Time:
The number of seconds that the Relay 1 output of alarm card 1 is active following any alarm.
Use +/- to cycle through the various time delays. 10, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 200 or 250 seconds.
Enter the 2 digit alarm number you wish to program using the 0-9 keys. Eg enter 01 for alarm 1. The following screen
will then be displayed. See the relay number mentioned on page 17.
Each of the four actions can allow a camera to be moved to a preset
position and displayed on a monitor output. In addition, if the monitor was
sequencing before the alarm occurred, after ‘time’ seconds the sequence
is re-started.
If alarms are taken into the local alarm input of a telemetry receiver that
supports local alarms, ie Rx10X/Rx400DC/Rx45X/Rx55X, ‘pre’ must be
set to 00 as the preset will depend on the receiver alarm input. (See the
receiver manual for more details on local alarms.)
This simple example shows alarm 1 moving camera 1 to preset 1 and
display on monitor 1.
next and prev allow setting the alarm actions for the next and previous
alarm inputs.
