Live Mode Alarm Response
When a mechanical alarm occurs in Live mode, the MUX-1602C
alerts
the operator and performs tasks required to record the alarm
event
on videotape.
When the initial alarm is detected in Live mode, the MUX-1602C
does
the following:
1.
Flashes the associated
camera
button light.
2.
Sounds the alarm buzzer if the Audible Alarm option is set to
ON.
3.
Energizes the alarm relay.
4.
Displays the alarm camera on the Call Monitor, overlaid with
the ALARM message. If there are multiple alarms, the alarm
cameras will display in sequence on the Call Monitor.
5.
Switches the Main Monitor to the highest multicamera format
if the alarm camera is not already on display.
6.
Overlays the alarm camera with the ALARM message.
7.
Switches to the VCR Alarm Record Time encoding rate.
8.
Encodes the camera as “alarm” and sends it to the VCR on a
priority basis.
The MUX-1602C remains in the alarm state until ALL of the
following
occur:
•
All mechanical alarms are released.
•
The Alarm Duration time elapses.
•
The Alarm Hold Input is released.
Multiple alarms are processed in the order in which they occur.
Alarm cameras are identified by flashing
camera
button lights
and receive priority for output to the VCR.
