SYSTEM PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Oracle can be easily configured to your requirements. The system programming feature allows
you to set the following parameters:

#

Video Type (NTSC/PAL).

#

Switching Alert Chirp (On/Off).

#

Low Battery Alert Beep (On/Off).

#

Low Battery Alert Voltage (6.0V - 13.9V).

#

Switching Sensitivity.

#

Video Level Balance Adjustment.

Programming Oracle involves pressing the front pushbutton switch while observing the LED
indicators. The green V

ID

1 LED’s blink pattern indicates the programming step. There are six

steps, so there are six unique LED patterns that will be seen by the time programming is
complete. The programmed settings are stored and are not lost when power is removed.

At each step you will respond by pressing the push switch. The number of presses will program
the feature. For example, during the “Video Type” programming step, pressing the switch two
times will select the PAL video mode. Once you are done with the step,  wait three seconds for
the yellow S

TATUS

 LED to wink once and it will move to the next step. If desired, programming

can be exited by removing power after the yellow S

TATUS

 LED winks, which will leave the

remaining values unchanged.

If a pushbutton response is not entered within seven seconds, Oracle’s green V

ID

2 LED will

report the existing stored setting by blinking out its code. The setting will not change and you
will move to the next step. Note: If your entry is illegal, all three LED’s will rapidly flash for

several seconds as a warning. You will then be allowed to try again.

The LED patterns are arranged as simple patterns of short and long blinks. The following table

outlines the blink codes (
