| Installation
When the configuration is altered, the system
must be scanned again. Therefore always
switch off the system by means of the rear
power switch when a camera or accessory is
added or removed. Only operating the power
save button is not sufficient.
Remark: Only the inputs to which cameras are connected
can be selected or used by the monitor. It is therefore
useless to connect an accessory to an input to which no
camera is connected.
Monitor
On the back of the monitor the following can be
connected:
Cameras
Connect the camera to one of the camera inputs at the
back of the monitor (fig. A-2).
Correctly directing the camera at the object will be
easier when the monitor is temporarily installed at the
camera site.
VCR
For the recording and reproducing of pictures and
sound a video recorder has to be connected to the
input and output (VCR-audio/video in/out) on the
back of the monitor (fig. A-2).
The VCR output can also be used to connect other
peripheral equipment. For example, a video printer for
hard copies.
Extra monitor
You can connect an extra monitor to the slave-output
(fig. A-2), by using the same
twisted pair system
cable. The extra monitor gives exactly the same
picture and sound as the basic monitor.
In VCR mode, the slave monitor shows the image of
the last selected camera.
Alarm contact
The alarm contact (make (N.O.) and break (N.C.)) of
the monitor (fig. A-2) can, for instance, be used to
start up a video recorder, siren or telephone selector.
Cable
A 4-wire system cable (see specifications) is supplied
as standard.
For optimum picture and sound quality, a standard
dual 'twisted-pair' (telephone) cable should be used.
There is an extensive range of plugs and tools
available in the hobby and professional trade to extend
the cable. Always ensure that the connection is made
as shown in figure D (Page 19).
Caution: The plugs used for the observation system have
the same dimensions as standard telephone
plugs. Never connect a telephone to the camera
or system monitor.
The maximum distance that can be bridged (without a
cable extension adapter) between the monitor and the
cameras is 300 meters.

By pushing the talk button (fig. A-1) the built-in microphone
(fig. A-1) in the monitor is switched on. The sound from the
microphone can be reproduced by means of an intercom
box (optional).
Action
By means of the action button (fig. A-1) it is possible to
activate an (optional) action box. This can, for instance, be
used to open a door remotely. The action box remains
active for as long as the button is pressed.
Auto Sequence
The monitor switches slowly between the pictures (image +
sound) of the connected cameras.
Remark:
The auto button is only functional when:
- camera mode is selected;
- the observation system is enlarged to at least two
cameras.
By pushing the auto button (fig. A-1) the automatic
sequence function is started. The automatic interval
sequence time (auto sequence time) can be adjusted
between 4 and 60 seconds on the back of the monitor
(fig. A-2).
Camera selection
A maximum of four cameras can be connected to the
monitor. Choosing a camera is done with the camera
selection keys 1, 2, 3 and 4 (fig. A-1), the appropriate LED
lights up.
