Figure 5.6: The Monitor Mode Parameters Menu

1.Monitor Mode: Enables/disables the Monitor Mode feature. Do not enable the Monitor Mode until you have finished selecting the other Monitor Mode parameters. (Default = Off.)

2.Switch If Level: Determines which line condition will cause the selected A/B circuits to switch. This item can either be set to "0 - Low" or "1 - High". When this item is set at "0 - Low", the selected A/B circuit(s) will be switched when the line goes low. When this item is set at "1 - High", the selected A/B circuit(s) will be switched when the line goes high. (Default = "0 - Low".)

3.Switch to Position: Determines which A/B line will be automatically selected when the line goes to the target level (Item 2.) For example, if Item 2 is set at "0 - Low" and Item 3 is set at "B", then the monitored line goes low, the selected A/B circuit(s) will be switched to Line B. (Default = B.)

4.Delay Period: Determines how long the monitored line must remain at the target level (Item 2) in order to trigger automatic A/B switching. For example, if the target level is "1 - High" and the Delay Period is 1 minute, then the selected A/B circuits will be switched when the monitored line remains high for 1 minute. (Default = 5 Seconds.)

Note: When Item 5 (Return) is enabled, the Delay Period also determines how long the line must return to (and remain at) the normal state in order for the A/B line to be switched back to it's original setting.
