POWERING THE MULTIPLEXER
Use the following procedure to initialize multiplexers being powered up for the first time or
after extended storage. This clears any random data remaining in the multiplexer and
initializes the memory for user programming.
1. Turn on power to cameras, monitors, and any equipment connected to the multiplexer.
2. Plug the transformer cord into the multiplexer.
3. Hold down the VIEW button on the multiplexer’s front panel while plugging the wall
transformer into an electrical outlet. The monitor displays PLEASE WAIT and begins a
20-second countdown. After the countdown finishes, this initialization screen disap-
pears, all programming menus are at their default settings, and the multiplexer is
ready to use.

•Coaxitron Format (Camera Protocol)

NOTE:
If the reach be-
tween the electrical outlet

far, try the following. Detach
the transformer cord from
the rear of the multiplexer,
plug into the outlet first, and
then plug the transformer
cord into the multiplexer. A
rack-mounted unit may
require two people.
