ALARM CONTROL

Note: This section describes the terminal mode. To operate in the PS·Data mode, refer to the operating instructions.

Alarm Mode

When alarm (sensor) is accepted, the matrix switcher's operation mode changes to the alarm mode. Then, the sys- tem operates as follows:

The camera image (alarm image) appears on the moni- tor.

In the factory default setting, the alarm inputs 1 to 16 are associated with the same-numbered camera input connectors. All the video output signals are sent to Monitor 1. For example, when the alarm (sensor) con- nected to the alarm input 1 becomes active, the camera input connector 1’s image appears on Monitor 1.

"ALARMnn" appears on the monitor. (nn is the alarm number).

ALARM01

Alarm output signals are supplied from Alarm Output 1 to 4 (#10, 11, 23 and 24) of the ALARM port (25-pin D- sub connector) at the rear panel. Alarm Output 1 to 4 is associated with MONITOR OUT 1 to 4. For example, when an alarm input signal is activated on MONITOR OUT 1, the matrix switcher supplies an alarm output signal from Alarm Output 1.

The alarm number and "Alarm" sign will appear on the LCD. Then, "Alarm" sign and the alarm indicator will blink.

Operation during an Alarm Mode

While an alarm mode is active, the following are available from the system controller:

Operating the camera with the alarm input (ACK)

Resetting the alarm (ALM RESET/ALM ALL RESET)

Suspending the alarm (ALM SUSPENDED)

Operation of an Alarm-related Camera (ACK)

You can operate the camera with the alarm input as follows:

ACK

2.Press the ACK button.

"ACK" will appear on the monitor with an alarm input. The camera with an alarm input will become operable.

3.Operate camera with the system controller. Panning, tilting, zoom, focus, and iris are available. When selecting another monitor, "ACK" will disappear from the display. The matrix switcher system will return to the alarm mode.

Alarm

 

There are two operation modes when more than one alarm signal has been accepted by the matrix switcher that is assigned to the same monitor.

Sequence mode: An alarm operation is replaced by another one after the dwell time ends.

Hold mode: An initial alarm operation is continued even after another alarm input is accepted.

Notes:

The association of the alarm inputs with cameras and monitors are changeable in SETUP MENU or WJ- SX150A Administrator Console. (Refer to the operating instructions of matrix switcher.)

Alarm input will be automatically reset in 30 seconds. The auto-recovery time is configurable through SETUP MENU or WJ-SX150A Administrator Console. (Refer to

the operating instructions of matrix switcher.)
