How to Use External Control

7 About the external control

This monitor has two external control terminals as follows:

•RS-232C terminal: For operation using this terminal, consult your dealer.

•RS-485 terminals: You can select the external control system in “REMOTE SYSTEM” on the set-up menu (see “CNT. RJ45 OUT” and “CNT. RJ45 IN” on page 25).

(1)Serial communication: Controls the monitor by a personal computer or a dedicated controller (see page 32).

(2) IR OUT system:

Controls other equipment by using the remote control supplied with this monitor.

(3)MAKE (make contact system): Controls the function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it (see page 33).

(4)TRIG. (trigger system): Controls the function by inputting the pulse signal instantaneously to the corresponding pin terminal (see page 33).

Set the input/output terminals correctly according to the system you use (see “REMOTE SYSTEM” on page 25).
