SET ALARM CONTACTS
The SET ALARM CONTACTS menu is used to associate
cameras to alarm contacts (see Alarms, Appendix pages A-3 to
A-7). A maximum of 1024 entries are allowed. Each Alarm
Contact Number (ACN) is associated with a camera number,
dwell time, and optional preset, auxiliary, and connect next for
salvo call on alarm.
This menu has multiple pages, with 16 ACN’s per page. Refer
to page 4-3 for menu paging instructions.
Note: Alarm Contact Numbers 1 through 1024 are defaulted
to cameras 1 through 1024. Dwell Times are defaulted to
two seconds, presets are defaulted to no preset scene callup
(0), auxiliaries are defaulted to no action (0), and Connect
Nexts are defaulted to no connect (N).
ACN (Alarm Contact Number) - Each of the 1024 ACN
entries is unique and consists of a camera number, dwell time,
preset, auxiliary, and connect next that are activated when this
contact is received. The same camera may be associated with
different ACN’s with different dwell times, presets, etc.
CAM (Camera) - This identifies the camera that is called to
the monitor armed for this ACN (Monitor/Contact Access
Menu, page 4-26) when the alarm contact is received. If the
CN field is “S”, the CAM entry is associated with System
Salvos, and the Camera number is a System Salvo number.
DWL (Dwell Time) - Dwell Time sets the amount of dwell for
the camera. The dwell time may be from 1 to 60 seconds in
one second increments. An entry of 61 will “HOLD” the
current camera displayed.
PRE (Preset) - If presets have been defined for the camera,
the preset scene specified in this entry is called automatically
when the camera associated with that entry is displayed on
alarm receipt. If a preset is not desired, enter a zero.
AUX (Auxiliary) - If the camera site is equipped with a
Receiver that has Auxiliary relays, an auxiliary can be
activated automatically on alarm receipt. If no auxiliary action
is desired, enter a zero in this field.
CN (Connect Next) - Connect Next selects the next camera in
the table for simultaneous callup when the alarm contact is
received. A selection of No (“N”), Yes (“Y”), Salvo (“S”), or
Wired (“W”) can be chosen.
• If “N” is selected, the Connect Next feature is not initiated.
The next ACN entry in the table is used for an alarm contact.
• If “Y” is selected, the Connect Next feature calls the next
table entry to the next contiguous monitor, for the dwell time
specified by the first camera entry; the next ACN is no
longer active and cannot be used for an alarm contact. (The
last entry of a Y set must have an “N” or “S” CN entry.)
• If “S” is selected, a pre-programmed System Salvo is called.
The System Salvo number is specified in the CAM entry.
• If “W” is selected, the Connect Next feature activates all
ACN entries in a contiguous set when that alarm contact is
received; each ACN entry in the contiguous set is still active
for the associated alarm contact. (The last entry of a Wired
set must have an “N” or “S” CN entry.)
In addition, each CN selection in a contiguous set (Wired
set) may include an “*” symbol. This indicates that when a
manual Acknowledge is received for the associated ACN, all
alarm contacts in that Wired set are cleared.
