Step 7

Connect the contact closure control port of a control system to the connector labeled “Contact” on the FBI 100 rear panel. This control system should be the same one that controls the VCR record and playback modes.

Step 8

Program the control system to perform as follows:

•When the control system sends a command to the VCR to start recording (record mode), it should also short and latch the FBI 100 “Contact” pin 1 to ground (by relay).

•In the other modes (play or stop), the control system should open the FBI 100 “Contact” pin 1.
