7. Runtime Programming: Open the System II top cover, remove the two battery pack
covers
, and remove the battery tab to activate the Video Controller’s “AA” battery pack (or
insert “AA” batteries). The factory “default runtime” is one minute. To program a specific
runtime, press and hold the Program/Reset Button
until the Red LED comes “on” and
immediately enter the video runtime variable by tapping the button once for each 10
seconds of runtime. After entering the desired runtime, the Red LED will “flash” to confirm
the number of “button taps” for the entered runtime. Programming is now complete.
Additional “pressing” of the Program Reset button will only turn “on” or “off” the DVR.
To view the camera, you will need to connect the 3.5” Video Monitor supplied with the
system. Connect the monitor to the power and video connectors on the top cover plate.
Press the Program Reset button to power “on” the DVR. You should now have a picture
on the Video Monitor. Aim the camera at the target while viewing the picture on the
monitor display screen. Turn the DVR “off” by tapping the Receiver Processor’s
Program/Reset Button. The DVR and camera can be tested in this mode prior to field
deployment.
8. Setup the Sensor and Walk Test the Sensor so that an alarm occurs. After the 8
second DVR “boot up” the DVR should turn “on” in the Record Mode simultaneous to the
Receiver Processor’s Red LED illuminating (indicating valid alarm). Reset (turn off) the
Video by pushing the Program/Reset Button.
Note: If the sensor trips but fails to activate the Receiver/Video Recorder, this may mean
that you are out of RF range. Check by resetting the Sensor to the Range Test Mode and
tripping it. The Receiver Processor’s Red LED should flash in concert with the Sensor’s
Red LED, indicating solid RF reception. Absence of the Red LED flashing, or flashing
erratically, means that you are out of RF range. The maximum range depends on terrain,
obstructions, and other factors.
9. Disconnect the Video Monitor, turn “off” the DVR, and shut the Pelican case lid.
10. When returning to the site to check the video, always trip the sensor so that you have
established an ending date for the period of surveillance. This may be useful for
troubleshooting the system if problems occur. Open the Pelican Case and turn on the
DVR using the Program/Reset Button. You can review the evidence on the SD card by
connecting the video monitor and using the supplied Remote Control. Enter the Main
Menu and scroll down to Playback.
