Programming with the AD2089
23
Each time you move the camera in any direction (with zoom, focus, or iris adjustments), you issue
a command to the camera. The three patterns for a dome can collectively consist of up to 98
camera commands.
There is also a pattern time limit. A single pattern cannot have a duration longer than 400 seconds.
How ever many commands have been issued, a pattern will stop recording once the time limit has
elapsed.
Note
pattern command sequences can vary depending on the switching system and accessories used.
Consult the appropriate product manual(s) if necessary. The following pattern commands may not
be compatible with your particular system requirements.
Defining Patterns
To define a pattern:
1 Turn the three-position keyswitch to the PROGRAM position.
2 Enter the pattern identification number on the numeric keypad (the number will appear in the
ENTER display).
3 Press the PATRN key (the ENTER display will show “P-1”, “P-2”, or “P-3”).
4 Press the PROG key. Using the joystick and lens keys, maneuver the called camera to define
the pattern.
5 Press the ACK key to save the pattern (the ENTER display will clear).
Clearing Patterns
To clear a pattern, overwrite the old pattern with a newly defined pattern. Follow the steps listed in
Defining Patterns, above, to define a new pattern.
Arming a Monitor
When a monitor is armed, the camera video associated with an alarm for that monitor appears
when an alarm has been triggered. To arm a monitor, do the following:
1 Call the monitor to be armed (see Chapter 3).
2 Turn the three-position keyswitch to the PROGRAM position.
3 Enter the arming type identification number on the numeric keypad (the number will appear in
the ENTER display).
Note
For information about arming identification numbers, consult Appendix E in this manual.
4 Press the F2 key. The ENTER key will clear, and the selected monitor screen displays the
arming type code for five seconds.
Disarming a Monitor
When a monitor is disarmed, the camera video from alarms is not displayed when an alarm has
been triggered. To disarm a monitor, do the following:
1 Call the monitor to be disarmed (see Chapter 3).
2 Turn the three-position keyswitch to the PROGRAM position.
