There are three ways to acknowledge an alarm:
• The first way is to press the key on the controller that represents the ESC key
(Clear/Manual on the HEGS5000/HEGS5001 controller). This sends a Return to
Manual command to the ACUIX. When the ACUIX receives this command, it
acknowledges any alarm that is currently active.
• The second way to acknowledge an alarm is to take manual control. This will
acknowledge ALL the alarms that are present—even those waiting to be serviced. To
acknowledge alarms sequentially: press a PTZ button to acknowledge the first alarm,
then press another PTZ button to acknowledge the second alarm, and so on.
• The final way is to use the default function. The default function runs a Preset, Preset
Tour, or Mimic Tour after a user-programmable amount of inactive time. It also
auto-acknowledges an alarm after the programmable delay. It acknowledges each
active alarm until all alarms are inactive. At that point, the default function runs. If any
new alarms come in after this, the cycle starts again.
The alarm status displays on-screen on the same text line set aside for the Camera ID
number. The Camera ID does not have to be displayed in order to view the alarm status. If
any alarms are active, the ACUIX displays
AL-
. After the
AL-
, the ACUIX lists all active
alarms in order. Thus, if alarms 1, 3, and 4 are active, the ACUIX displays
AL-1 3 4
. There
is no on-screen indication as to which alarm is currently being serviced. That can be
determined by what function is active.
Find Home
The ACUIX has a mechanical “Home” position. The home position is a pan and tilt position
used as a reference point for controlling and programming the ACUIX. Upon power-up of
the unit, the ACUIX must find its home position before it responds to any control
commands.
The ACUIX can be sent to its home position from the HEGS5000 controller as follows:
1. Press Run Menu until
Find Home
displays on the controller’s LCD screen.
2. Press Enter. The controller sends out the data to send the control camera to its
mechanical home position.
The message,
Home Found...
displays. If the message,
Homing Failed
,
displays, the
ACUIX can be manually controlled, but cannot be programmed and automatic functions
(Presets, Mimic Tours, Preset Tours, and Privacy Zones) are not operational.
