User manual CORTECH DATALOG 3-MOLYNX

[. . . ] The TTX309 can also control a Molynx 600-series, either by being the sole controller connected directly to a 640 video switching unit or by acting as a slave keyboard on an existing system. The slave keyboard address is selectable. The Datalog will allow the automatic call up upon alarm condition of up to four cameras to preset positions and supports two banks of four monitors for alarm switching. [. . . ] These are split into two banks and the cameras will be displayed on alternate banks in multiple alarm conditions. If only one bank is required or less than four monitors are needed for alarm switching, then leaving the relevant monitor(s) as zero will override alarm bank and monitor call up actions. For example if a second alarm monitor bank is not required then leave all four bank 2 monitors as zero. The serial port and data rate settings are confirmed in the status bar at the bottom of the setup window. Press the `Save' button to store the changes and `Abort' to exit setup without saving. The `Text' button allows a test transmission which should simulate an alarm on the selected zone. Operation Automatic Camera Switching Operation The Datalog can pre-position up to 4 cameras upon alarm and allocate these 4 camera views to 4 monitors. The Datalog supports up to 2 banks of 4 monitors if required. Upon st the 1 alarm bank 1 monitors will be allocated cameras and subsequent alarms will be allocated to bank 2, then bank 1, then 2 etc. In situations when 2 banks are not required then a single set of alarm monitors may be used. When the Datalog is reset in a multiple alarm situation then camera views will be set to the alarm positions as each alarm is reset. Once the last alarm that references a given monitor is reset, the Datalog will issue the `Sequence Recall 1' command to the specific monitor.
