The unit will not respond to PC
control.
The DEVICE CHECK menu does
appear when power is turned on.
The unit is not detecting its
peripheral recording device(s).
Black screens are being
displayed during multi-screen
display.
Button operation is not working.
Button operation of camera
numbers is not working.
Is the RS-232C setting set correctly?
Are the unit and computer connected correctly?
Is there a defect in the connecting cable?
Is the proper connecting cable being used?
Is the remote indicator light on? Press the communication
setting button to turn it off.
Is peripheral device’s SCSI ID setting set correctly?
Inspect the connecting cable.
Is the SCSI TERMIMATION switch on?
Have the peripheral devices been disconnected?
Are the recommended peripheral devices being used?
Operations settings have not been made, in the Camera
Operation Setting parameter of the DEFINE GROUP
SETTING. Input from cameras displaying the “ - ” symbol
will appear black on the monitor.
Is the PLAY DEVICE indicator light blinking? Wait until the
light stays on, then start operation once more. If the light
does not stop blinking for a long period, use the RESET
button located at the back of the unit.
Is the LOCK function or the PASSWORD LOCK function in
effect? If so, please cancel the function(s).

The unit will not perform the
motion detection function. Is the motion detection in the <INTIAL SET UP> menu
setting on?
Is the value of the MOTION THRESHOLD setting greater than
the DOT value entered in the SET DETECTION MASK setting?
The MOTION DETECTION function cannot be accessed when
menus are left open. (The M-DET indicator light is off when the
MOTION DETECTION cannot be accssed.) 32

SCSI Interface
The SCSI interface is the connection used expressly for transferring
image data between the unit and its peripheral devices. Each periph-
eral is connected to the unit in a daisy-chain configuration, and is
given a unique ID number for detection/identification by the unit.
Relation of recording operation to the number of
cameras and recording interval settings
The recording pattern of this unit is as illustrated in the diagram be-
low. Image data input from all the connected cameras is recorded
sequentially at a rate of [number of cameras x recording interval].
(25F recording interval during normal recording, and 12.5F record-
ing interval when the M-DET SETTING is active.)
For example, when
four cameras are recording at intervals of 1 second, the unit takes
four seconds to receive one cycle of image data from the cameras.
When this data is played back on a single-screen, the display is
refreshed once every four seconds.

Simultaneous Backup (Copying) method
In Simultaneous Backup (Copying), images input from the cameras are
recorded once on the unit’s hard disk and simultaneously copied from
the hard disk onto a removable archive/copying medium. In addition, the
unit marks the end of backup recording time through the use of the Ar-
chive Pointer.
Archive Pointer
The Archive Pointer is used to mark, on the archive medium, the comple-
tion of a backup process. For example, 100 hours of data recorded on
the unit’s hard disk is to be transferred to a medium with only 80 hours of
available recording space. When the backup process is completed, the
Archive Pointer will memorize the hard disk’s 80-hour mark. When the
next backup process is initiated, backup will begin at this point.
Copying Device
The copying device is the peripheral device assigned to SCSI ID5. By
using the unit’s COPY button, this device can be made to copy (re-
store) image data recorded over a designated time frame.
Archive Device
The archive device is the peripheral device assigned to SCSI ID4,
and performs the following: backup specification using the ARCHIVE
button or Timer Program, and backing up of image data using the
Restore function in the Copy settings.
Restore
Restore is the process in which image data transferred to the pe-
ripheral recording device is restored on the unit’s hard disk. During
the Restore process, image data currently stored on the unit’s hard
disk is completely over-written.
