OPERATION

Operating Controls

All operating controls are on the front panel of the 1461, as
shown in Figure 3.

Power ON LED 

 This LED is lit when power is applied to the

unit.

ALERT 

 

 These two 

 flash alternately when

motion has been detected, until turned off by AUTO RESET or
by a manual RST (Reset).

RST (Reset) Button 

 After an alert has been indicated this

button restores the unit to the motion detection mode and stops

all alert signals. If the motion is still detected, the unit returns
immediately to the alert condition. The manual RST function
is available regardless of the AUTO RESET switch setting.

SENS (Sensitivity) 

 This screwdriver control adjusts the

sensitivity of the active detection area. Clockwise rotation
increases sensitivity.

VERT (Vertical) P and 

S   These recessed screwdriver

controls adjust the vertical position and size of the rectangular
detection area. The P control adjusts the vertical position and

the S adjusts the vertical size of the area.

DISPLAY 

   This two position toggle switch activates (+)

or deactivates   display of the two vertical bars indicating the
area of the picture in which motion is detected. (See Figure 4,
On-Screen Display, page 4.) It does not otherwise affect the
operation of the unit. The activated (+) position is normally
used unless public display of the area in which motion is being
detected is inadvisable.

BYPASS 

   This toggle switch activates (+) or deactivates

 the audio alert, the switcher call-up logic output and the

auxiliary start relay functions of the motion detector. It must

be in the activated 

 position when these functions are

desired. The visual ALERT LED’s are not affected by the
position of the BYPASS switch. In the deactivated 

position, when an alert occurs the LED’s flash, but the audio

signal, the switcher logic, and the relay are not active.

AUTO RESET 

   This toggle switch activates (+) or

deactivates 

 the automatic reset of the motion detector.

When activated 

 an alert condition automatically is cleared

12 seconds after motion ceases. When deactivated 

 the

manual RST must be used to clear an alert condition.

HORIZ (Horizontal) P and 

   These recessed screwdriver

controls adjust the horizontal position and size of the
rectangular detection area. The P control adjusts the horizontal
position and the S adjusts the horizontal size of the area.
