Controlling Auxiliary Devices
An auxiliary is a relay that controls devices such as
lights, door locks, and audible alarms. Auxiliary
devices are also called
output devices . Use the
Auxiliary On and Off keys (located to the right of the
numeric keypad) to control the devices.

Auxiliary
Auxiliary devices may be momentary or latched. A
momentary auxiliary remains active as long as its
control key is pressed. An example of momentary
auxiliary action is a door that remains unlocked as
long
Auxiliary On is pressed. When released, the
door returns to its locked state.
A latched auxiliary remains active until it is
deactivated using the appropriate off switch. An
example of a latched auxiliary is a light. When
Auxiliary On is pressed (and released), the light is
turned on. When Auxiliary Off is pressed (and
released), the light is turned off.
IMPORTANT! The number of available auxiliaries
depends on the dome type. Outdoor SpeedDomes
have only one auxiliary connection. Indoor
SpeedDomes have four auxiliary connections. If you
are unsure about the number of available outputs on
the device, refer to your operator’s manual.
To control an auxiliary:
1. Call the camera associated with the appropriate
relay.
2. Enter the auxiliary number (1-4).
3. Press Auxiliary On to activate the auxiliary.
Note: When Auxiliary On is released, a latched
auxiliary remains activated. A momentary
auxiliary is deactivated.
4. To de-activate a latched auxiliary, press
Auxiliary Off .
Acknowledging Alarms
System cameras may be associated with alarm
contacts connected to key security points. If an
alarm is activated, the camera scene associated
with the alarm appears on a system monitor or
monitors that are armed for alarm display. When the
alarm camera scene appears on the monitor screen,
the word “ALARM” appears on the monitor’s on-
screen status line. If an alarm title has been
programmed, the alarm title also appears in the
alarm title area.
Some system monitors are armed for automatic or
delayed automatic clearance. Monitors armed for
manual clearance (acknowledgment) can be cleared
from a keyboard controller pressing
Ack (located in
the lower right corner of the keypad).

the members are activated.

contact.
2. Press Ack .
All alarms in the wired set are cleared when this
