Features:
Front panel indicators
Front panel test /operation switch

Simple remote button step sequence of cameras
Ground loop blocking video input circuitry
The ARS-414:
All 4 video outputs are identical. All of the remote switches will
change all of the monitor images at the same time. The alarm inputs will change all of the
inputs at the same time. The front panel button affects all of the outputs.
The ARS-4000:
Each output is only changed when the remote button associated
with that output is activated. The alarm inputs will change all of the outputs at the same
time. The front panel button affects only output #4.
Camera Requirements:
The ARS-414/4000 will work with Color or B/W
cameras, AC or DC operated. The outputs from the cameras can be either BNC/75 ohm
Coax or UTP/CAT-5/3 terminal strip/100 ohms.
Cable Requirements:
For the video in: For BNC/75 ohm it is best to use
RG-59U with a copper braid shield. RG-6 can be used but is not recommended. For the
UTP/Cat-5, use a quality grade of Cat-3 or Cat-5. If a balun is not build into the camera,
one is needed for each camera location.
For the remote buttons: For best results use a 20 ga. pair or larger
For the video out: Use RG-59U (75 ohm Coax) for each monitor feed.
For the Alarming inputs: For best results use a 20 ga. Pair or larger
Grounding:
Make sure that all devices that are attached to the ARS series switcher
is properly grounded. For outdoor cameras, lightning protective devices are required on
each cable feed. Refer to the devices manual for proper grounding instructions.
