Overlapping Timer settings

When Timer settings overlap, the unit will give priority to the higher-numbered program.

Example #1

Alarm Recording

When an alarm sensor connected to the ALARM IN terminal is triggered, the unit will switch to the interval setting established for Alarm Recording and make detailed recordings of the situation.

When running in Alarm Recording mode, the unit will continue to record for the entire Alarm Record-

ing duration even if the end-time specified in a Timer Program has been exceeded. Refer to page 33.

Alarm Recording operation

When the ALARM IN terminal is triggered during normal operation, the unit will respond as shown in the illustration below.

Example: The unit is programmed for 0.5F recording inter- vals, and Alarm Recording is set at intervals of 4.17F and for a duration of 2 minutes.

Program #1 is set for 14:00 to 17:00 with a recording interval of 0.13F.

Program #2 is set for 15:00 to 16:00 with recording inter- val of 0.5F.

Under this condition, the unit will give priority to Program #2 for the duration of the overlapping period, from 15:00 to 16:00. The unit will operate as shown in the chart below.

2)If the unit receives a new alarm signal while running in Alarm Recording mode, the unit will complete the Alarm Recording session initiated by the new signal.

3)If the unit receives an alarm signal while settings are being made on the on-screen menus, the unit will exit the menu screen and begin Alarm Recording.

Alarm Recording time indicators

When Alarm Recording is started, the unit will store a user- confirmable data entry of the time it receives the alarm sig- nal. To access this data entry, press the SEARCH button to call-up the <SEARCH SELECTION> menu and select ALARM LIST SEARCH. Use the JOG dial to move the cursor to the desired entry, and turn the SHUTTLE ring to retrieve the entry. (Refer to page 50 for details on “Alarm List Search”.)

1)Up to 500 entries for Alarm Recording start time can be displayed. After 500 entries, entry #1 will be erased and #501 will be added to the list, and so on.

2)As an index signal is also automatically stored at the beginning of Alarm Recording, the Alarm Recording start- time can also be retrieved using INDEX SEARCH. (Refer to page 50 for details on “Index Search”.)
