Using the AD2089 in Operate Mode
19
A latched auxiliary remains active until it is deactivated using the appropriate off switch. An
example of a latched auxiliary is a light. When the auxiliary ON key is pressed (and released), the
light is turned on. When the auxiliary OFF key is pressed (and released), the light is turned off.
Acknowledging Alarms
When a monitor is armed for an alarm contact, the video input (camera view) associated with that
alarm contact is displayed on the monitor when the alarm is activated. If the monitor is armed for
manual clearance, any alarm displayed on the monitor can be acknowledged (cleared) by an
AD2089 operator.
To acknowledge (clear) an alarm:
1 Call the monitor that is displaying alarm video.
2 Press the ACK key.
If the monitor is sequencing multiple alarmed video inputs, hold or step to (using the next or last
keys) the appropriate alarmed video input, and press the ACK key to clear the alarm. Continue to
step to and ACK each alarm until all appropriate alarms have been cleared.
Alarm signaling capability will vary depending on which switching system is connected to the
AD2089. Consult your switching system manual to determine the particulars of the alarm interface.
Viewing Satellite Sites
A site is a complete matrix switcher / controller system, providing both local and remote control of
resources in a satellite network. If your workstation supports satellite site switching capabilities, the
SITE key accesses satellite sites.
To gain access to a satellite site:
1 Enter the site number on the numeric keypad. The site number will appear in the ENTER
display.
2 Press the SITE key. Call the appropriate monitor and camera. The site number will appear in
the SITE display. The ENTER display will clear.
3 Call remote site monitors and cameras by the procedures discussed earlier in this chapter (see
page 3-1).
Running Patterns
A pattern is a sequential series of pan, tilt, zoom, and focus commands defined for SpeedDome
series domes. A pattern is programmed in real time, which means that the dome remembers each
pattern segment in the actual time it takes the operator to execute a command. For example, if,
during a pattern sequence, the dome focuses on a door for 30 seconds, the door scene will appear
for 30 seconds when the pattern is called to run. Patterns are set in the Program mode, which is
discussed in the following chapter. Patterns are run in the Operate mode.
Note
Pattern command sequences can vary depending on the switching system and accessories used.
Consult the appropriate product manual(s) if necessary.
To run a pattern:
1 Call the camera that the pattern will run on (see page 3-2).
2 Enter the pattern number on the numeric keypad. The pattern number will appear in the
ENTER display.
