9.  Attach any video and audio cables to the appropriate 
 

connectors at the rear of the unit. See next section. 

 
 

Most circuit board modules have several adjustments which are 

carefully factory set with precision instruments for optimum 
performance. Change only those which must be adjusted, some 
controls when mis-adjusted produce little change under normal 
operating conditions, but can seriously reduce the ability of the 
unit to function correctly under other conditions which may be 
encountered. Therefore, if you must adjust a control, place a mark 
on it before moving it, so that it may be returned to its original 
setting with reasonable accuracy. 

 
SET-UP AND INSTALLATION

 

 
 

Locate a convenient place in your rack and mount the unit. 

Next attach the Primary video signal to the input BNC connector 
labeled (A INPUT). Then attach the Secondary video signal to the 
BNC connector labeled (B INPUT). The BNC connector labeled (COM 
OUTPUT) is the output of the video switch. The video that is 
selected either manually or automatically will appear at this 
connector. 

 
FRONT PANEL SWITCH OPERATION 
 

 

The switch near the middle of the unit marked "SWITCH" is a 

manual/automatic selector for the video switch. When the switch is 
in the "A" position, the video switch will stay in the "A" mode. 
When the switch is in the "B" position, the video switch will stay 
in the "B" mode. If the switch is left in the "AUTO" position, the 
video switch will automatically switch from the "A" mode to the 
"B" mode when a freeze frame that exceeds the time out occurs on 
the "A" channel. In the AUTO mode the "COM" output will return to 
the "A" channel when the video on "A" channel returns. 
 
 

The switch near the bottom of the unit marked "RESET" is a 

manual/hold/auto, reset selector. When the switch is in the 
"MANUAL" position, the unit will be held in reset and no alarm 
will occur, this position is also used momentarily to clear any 
alarm condition. An alarm condition will operate the video switch 
if you have selected that option with S5. 
 
 

When the switch is in the "HOLD" position, if an alarm occurs 

the alarm will stay on until the unit is manually reset. This is 
useful in finding intermittent alarm conditions. This will also 
cause the video to switch to the "B" channel and stay there until 
the unit is manually reset. 
 
 

If the switch is set to the "AUTO" position, the alarm 

condition will be automatically reset when normal video returns to 
the "A" channel input.
