Instructions (this manual)  
PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER OPERATION  
Do not install the unit in a place subject to direct sunlight,  
excessive moisture, dust, or vibrations where ventilation is  
poor.  
Precautions for the PRESET SEQUENCE and AUTO PAN Operations  
The life-span of the PRESET SEQUENCE and AUTO PAN  
functions is dependent on which camera model is used in  
combination with this unit.  
When using aTK-C675B camera, the guaranteed zoom lens  
operation count is 200,000 times. If the zoom lens opera-  
tion is used often, the life-span of the PRESET SEQUENCE  
and AUTO PAN functions may be much less than expected.  
Be careful of strong radio waves and magnetism:  
If the unit is near a source of strong magnetism, such as a  
radio or TV transmission antenna, power transformer or  
motor, the video signal may be subject to interference.  
Always use the power cord provided with or specified for  
this unit.  
(Example) Assuming that a ZOOM operation is performed  
every minute and the camera is used 24 hours  
a day:  
CLEAN EXTERIOR  
Wipe gently with a soft cloth.  
Put cloth in diluted mild soap and wring it well to wipe off  
heavy dirt. Then wipe again with a dry cloth.  
200,000 x 2 (times) ÷ 60 (minutes) ÷ 24 (hours) = 277 (days)  
Total operations count  
Daily operating hours  
For other camera models, please refer to the Handling &  
Installation Instructions manuals of the camera in use.

Alarm Operation Modes  
When an alarm signal is received, this unit performs the following operations.  
<Alarm priority mode>  
The video is switched to the camera position from which the alarm signal is received.  
An alarm signal will automatically override and cancel the operation of either AUTO PATROL or AUTO SEQUENCE. (AUTO  
SEQUENCE: In A mode only.)  
The preset alarm title is displayed in the preset size.  
The ALARM indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds. ( REF. : BUZZER TIME” on page 32 for the setting method.)  
The CAMERA display indicates the number ID of the camera which has given the alarm signal.  
The UNIT ALARM output is turned ON.  
<Manual priority mode>  
When an alarm signal is received during manual operation (except during the AUTO PAN, AUTO PATROL and AUTO SE-  
QUENCE operations), the alarm operation does not start.  
When an alarm signal is received from a camera other than the camera being controlled manually, the alarm operation starts  
but, unlike in the alarm priority mode, the buzzer does not sound and the camera in question is not automatically selected.

3. APPLIED OPERATIONS  
ALARM OPERATION (Continued)  
Clearing the alarm  
The alarm operation can be cleared in two ways:  
<The alarm operation stops automatically when specified time has elapsed>  
When the time period specified in the ALARM TIME item in the ALARM screen has elapsed, the alarm operation stops automatically.  
The ALARM indicator turns off.  
The buzzer sound stops.  
The AUTO SEQUENCE mode returns to its situation before the alarm input. (A mode only)  
The camera which received the alarm signal returns to its setting before the alarm input. (AUTO PAN, AUTO PATROL or home  
position)  
The alarm title display clears.  
The UNIT ALARM maintains the MAKE position until the alarm conditions for all the cameras have been cleared.  
To set the alarm time REF. : [CONTROL UNIT SCREEN] on page 28 and [ALARM SCREEN : ALARM TIME] on page 32.  
NOTE  
When the ALARM TIME is set to SERIES, the alarm condition continues until the preset position, of the camera to which the  
alarm signal was input, is selected.  
<Stopping the alarm operation manually>  
When the alarm signal is received by the camera currently being selected, the alarm operation can be stopped by pressing the ENTER  
button. If the alarm signal is received by different camera, select that camera and press the ENTER button to stop the alarm operation.  
The ALARM indicator turns off.  
The buzzer sound stops.  
The alarm title display clears.  
The UNIT ALARM maintains the MAKE position until the alarm conditions for all the cameras have been cleared.  
DATA OUTPUT  
Three terminals, AUTO, UNIT ALARM and SELECT OUT / ALARM are provided at the Data Output terminal.  
AUTO terminal  
Signals are output when the AUTO SEQUENCE starts.  
UNIT ALARM terminal  
Signals are continuously output during an ALARM occurrence.  
SELECT OUT / ALARM terminal  
When a particular camera or camera position is selected by using a combination of the numeric keypad and the CAMERA,  
POSITION buttons, the corresponding command signal is output via one of the DATA I/O terminals on the rear panel.  
REF. : See “DATA I/O SCREEN” on page 30, 31 for the assignment of each terminal.

CAMERA SWITCHING OPERATION  
By means of a CAM SW signal from a Time Lapse VCR which is connected to the CAMERA SW terminals, the video signal from  
MONITOR OUTPUT 2 can be selected to feed the Time Lapse VCR.  
When switching the video signal with the CAM SW, be sure to set the CAMERA SELECTION item to ENABLE. Otherwise the  
video signal will not be switched correctly.  
REF. : OPTION SCREEN: CAMERA SELECTION” on page 29.  
Setting alterations are necessary according to which time-lapse VCR is connected.  
REF. : CONTROL UNIT SCREEN” on page 28 and “DATA I/O screen: CAM SWITCH Item” on page 30  
Set the CAM SWITCH to LOW when a time-lapse VCR of JVC is connected.  
NOTE  
To switch the Alarm signal correctly by the CAM SW signal, set it in the following manner:  
Make sure that video signals are input to VIDEO INPUT 1.  
Make sure that the recording hours for the time-lapse VCR are set for 24 hours or more.  
Make sure the CAMERA SELECTION item is set to ENABLE for VIDEO INPUT 1.
