At the E-1 alarm call-up menu, press the
3
key to access the E-5 menu to program alternate and
spot monitors.
Alternate monitors
are used to display video from additional alarming camera sites when multiple
alarms occur at the same time. You can assign up to four alternate monitors to the primary monitor
listed in menu E-5. If you’ve established four alternate monitors, then the primary monitor displays
the first alarm, the first alternate monitor displays the second alarm, and so forth until you have the
fourth alternate monitor displaying the fifth alarm. A sixth alarm would appear on the primary
monitor and any remaining alarms would appear sequentially on the alternate monitors sequencing
the alarms previously displayed.
Note:
A monitor cannot be both an alternate and primary. Once assigned as an alternate, most of a monitor’s programming
is unavailable.
Spot monitors
are used to avoid missing alarms. You can assign a spot monitor to the primary
monitor listed in menu E-5. If the primary monitor is armed and assigned a spot monitor, an
alarming camera site must be called up on the spot monitor to clear the video displayed on the
primary monitor (even if the alarm itself is cleared). Acknowledged alarms will display again (after a
few seconds) if they are still active.
Note:
When a primary monitor is sequencing alarming camera sites, individual alarms can be removed from the sequencing
queue only after they are acknowledged on the spot monitor. Acknowledged alarms will display again (after a few seconds) if
they are still active.
To program alternate and spot monitors:
a)
Use
#
and
$
to move through the monitor list.
b)
Use the number keys to enter monitor numbers (e.g., 002 for monitor 2).
