Alarm search/date and time search
• Alarm recording or sensor recording should continue for
at least 5 seconds.
• When recording is performed in the long-time timelapse
mode, date/time search will not function correctly if the
recording duration is too short.
To ensure that the date/time search operates correctly,
the recording duration must be equivalent to at least 5
seconds at Standard (2H) or EP (6H) : U model, (3H) :
E model speed.
(Example) With a 960-hour normal timelapse recording,
a recording time of 40 minutes or more is necessary.
Operation
1
Set the <SRI/EXT REC> menu switch in <SRI/EXT
MODE> to “EXT” to use the external recording function.
• Use the <EXT REC END> menu switch to select the
mode engaged when externally activated recording
ends.
When set to “STOP”, the VCR enters the Stop mode.
When set to “OPE OFF”, the operating mode is turned
off.
2
Press the [MENU] button to set the on-screen display to
the time/date display.
3
Load a cassette with a safety tab in place and engage the
Stop mode or turn the operating mode off.
• When a VCR activation signal (ground input) is input to
the rear panel’s [SERIES REC IN] terminal, recording
starts automatically and continues for as long as the
activation signal is input.
When the activation signal stops, the Stop mode is
engaged or the operating mode is turned off (according
to menu switch setting).
• When the activation signal is input again, recording starts.

Note:
When the TIMER indication lights or the menu switch
<REPEAT REC> in the <VTR MODE> menu is set to
“ON”, externally activated recording is not executed.
To execute repeat recording via the external recording function,
set <REPEAT REC> to “OFF” and <AUTO REW> to “ON”.
• In addition to the Stop mode and the operating mode
off status, the external recording function also
operates in the Pause mode.
• If recording is already in progress when the VCR
activation signal is input, recording continues and
stops when the activation signal is no longer input.
* If the external recording function is activated a hundred
times a day or more, a malfunction may occur because
the guaranteed range is exceeded.
If you want to use this unit more than a hundred times a
day, set the recording speed mode to 2H, 6H, L12H,
L18H or L24H : U model, 3H, L12H or L24H : E model
and perform regular maintenance, replacing parts as
