Program Timed Events
Five timed event types are programmable in the Power-plus software: tours,
salvos, presets, alarm enable,
and alarm type. The first three event types specify the method of video switching to be performed. Alarm
enable and type events control which alarm patterns are enabled and which will operate as momentary.

Event Number
The maximum number of timed events in the Powerplus system is 64. This maximum does not apply to
events which are not timed. Any combination of events may be identified as timed events. For example, a
configuration might include 20 timed presets, 30 timed salvos, 4 timed tours, and
timed enabled alarms.

Event Type
There are five timed event types available in the Powerplus system. Tours, salvos and presets define video
switching functions. The Tour setting is used to select a video switching function defined as a series of preset
video displays from various camera stations on a specified monitor or on various monitors, depending upon
the tour type. The tour type may be monitor or salvo, as discussed in
Select Tour Type
on page 60. A group
of monitors displaying video from predefined camera stations may be defined as a Salvo. The Preset setting
specifies the pan, tilt, lens preset position and settings to be recalled when the event is selected.
The Alarm Enable setting specifies the pattern of alarms to be enabled. This allows an event to be
programmed which automatically enables one pattern of alarms for daytime monitoring and a different
pattern for nighttime surveillance, for example. The Alarm Type setting specifies that a pattern of alarms,
with each alarm in the pattern set to operate as momentary or latching, will be scheduled as a timed event.
Therefore, if an alarm activates during this time period, it will act as momentary or latching, depending upon
the specifications discussed in
Set Momentary
on page 43. A separate timed event must be scheduled
to enable these alarms using the Alarm Enable setting.
