The REC input terminal is used to start recording. Refer to Series Recording in this step for more information. The input is active when a ground or low voltage signal is applied. The in- put is
The MODE OUT output terminal is used to indicate the status of the recorder (refer to Mode Out in the Programming section for more information). It can also be used to turn on an- other recorder (refer to Series Recording in this step for more information). The output is active when the terminal is at a low voltage level and
The CALL OUT output terminal is used for warnings (refer to the Warnings section for more information). It can also be used to turn on another recorder (refer to Series Recording in this step for more information). The output is active when the optical coupler is turned on and

SERIES RECORDING
By connecting multiple units in series as shown in Figure 11, when the one unit’s hard disk is full, the next unit automatically begins recording.
In this example, when the first unit’s hard disk is full, the second unit begins recording; when the second unit’s hard disk is full, the first unit begins overwriting its hard disk. If you do not want the first unit to overwrite its hard disk, do not connect MODE OUT from the second unit to REC of the first unit. The series recording function can also be activated by connecting the CALL OUT terminal in place of the MODE OUT terminal; the disk storage capacity setting is made in the Call Out menu. When the CALL OUT terminal is used, if the first unit reaches the preset capacity, experiences a malfunction, or otherwise cannot con- tinue recording, the second unit begins recording.
