1.0
Alarm Monitor
The RapidView can have alarm inputs that are associated with the
cameras. Monitor 1 is the alarm monitor and it is this monitor which
displays all the alarm messages and the alarm cameras. This monitor
is the only monitor which can display the ‘alarm menus’ (as detailed
in Chapter 5 - Menu Options sections 7.0 and 8.0).
2.0
Alarm Input Options
The alarm input options are all selected using the menu, as
detailed in Chapter 5 - Menu Options sections 7.0 and 8.0.
They can be ‘normally open’ (‘active’ when closed) or ‘normally
closed’ (‘active’ when
open) contacts.
They can be enabled (‘ON’) or disabled (‘OFF’).
They can be assigned to activate certain cameras and seek certain
presets on those cameras.
They can be programmed to have different ‘alarm timers’ which
extend the ‘alarm mode’ after the alarm input has become ‘inactive’.
(The timers start when the contacts become ‘inactive’.) The alarm tim-
ers can also be set the same for all alarm inputs through the keyboard
directly (see section 7.0‚ Setting a Global Alarm Timer).
3.0
Alarm Priorities
As only one alarm can be displayed on the alarm monitor at any one
time, the alarms are prioritised. The lower the number of the alarm
input, the higher the priority, with Alarm Input 1 being the highest.
4.0
Alarm Activations
When an alarm input becomes ‘active’, the RapidView will be set to
‘alarm mode’ and as a result respond in several ways (as listed in this
section). The RapidView will remain in ‘alarm mode’ until all the
alarm inputs have gone ‘inactive’ and all the alarm timers (for those
inputs) have expired or until they are cancelled by the ‘ALARM’
