Buzzer: When set to ON, the multiplexer’s internal buzzer sounds upon a manual
alarm condition.
Alarm Screen: When set to ON, the screen display changes to the one defined in the
Alarm Screen Format menu during a manual alarm condition.
Network Relay: When set to ON, the multiplexer sends the alarm information to an
external relay box via the network during a manual alarm condition.
Message Latch: When set to ON, an “A” displays on the screen when a manual alarm
condition occurs. It remains on the screen until it is cleared.
Recording: This allows the user to select how video will be recorded during a manual
alarm condition. INT interleaves images from the camera with an alarm every other field,
thereby providing more images from the camera. When there are multiple alarms, the
cameras with alarms are interleaved. The ONLY option records images from only the
camera with an alarm condition. UNC leaves the recording parameters unchanged.
Spot Monitor 1 – 4: When set to ON, the Spot Monitor displays the camera with a
manual alarm condition. When there are multiple alarms, cameras with alarms will
display sequentially. When set to OFF, the Spot Monitor’s display does not change
during a manual alarm condition. (1 AUX on 4-ch unit; 4 AUX on 9-ch and 16-ch units)
Hold Time: The Hold Time setting allows the user to set the alarm actions to last from 1
to 99 seconds. Hold Time is applicable only if the alarm action is set to Timed OUT.
Action: The action options are Timed, Latched, and Trans. When Timed is selected,
the alarm “times out” at the designated hold time unless the user clears it earlier. The
Latched setting means the alarm remains active until the operator acknowledges it. The
Trans (transparent) setting means the alarms are not latched and cannot be cleared by
the user.
Relay: The relay options are: 1, 2, 1&2, and OFF. Selecting the 1 or 2 option sets
either internal relay 1 or 2 to be activated by the alarm. The 1&2 option sets both the 1
and 2 internal relays as active during an alarm. When set to OFF, neither internal relay
is activated by the alarm.
Alarm Link: The Alarm Link option selects whether to link the alarm action. It can be
set to OFF or any of the 16 alarm actions. All alarm actions take priority over manual
alarm actions.
