AVE 8PSWT operation manual Introduction, Operation, Dwell, Alarming

INTRODUCTION

The 8PSWT is an 8 position sequencing, alarming, bypassing, and homing switcher. The front panel toggle switch allows for automatic sequencing, homing, and by-passing of the 8 video inputs. Sequencing is controlled by a front panel recessed dwell pot. This pot is recessed to eliminate accidental adjustment. The dwell adjustment varies from approximately .2 second to 60 seconds.

Homing any camera will stop the sequence mode and display the selected camera. If no homing switch is used, the switcher sequences through all cameras selected for sequencing in the loop.When a toggle switch is in the “BYPASS” position, the switcher willl drop this camera from the sequence or bypass it.

The dwell or time that each camera appears on-screen can be adjusted by the recessed front

panel control. This can be varied from approximately .2 seconds to 60 seconds. Use a small flat bladed screwdriver to adjust this control. Turning this pot to the right increases the dwell time.

ALARMING

The alarming feature is tied to camera positions 4 and 8 of the 8PSWT. The alarm inputs are located on the rear of the switcher. This compression type connector allows for the connection of an alarm switch or other alarming device. To open the cage clamp, insert a small, flat bladed screwdriver

in the small slot below the clamp. When inserted, push the screwdriver slightly downwards to open the clamp. Now insert the wire and remove the screwdriver blade. When an alarm is connected, the switcher will always
