The VI-POSCON Controller
Front Panel
The following is an illustration and description
of the VI-POSCON front panel indicators and
connector.
POWER – This red LED, when lit, indicates
that the unit is powered on.
DATA – These four tri-colour LEDs are linked
to the four data input ports on the rear panel.
These LEDs flash green as data is received
from their registers; they turn steady red when
an Event occurs, reverting to flashing green
once the period of time defined for the event
has lapsed. The LEDs are not lit when the
registers are not sending data.
EVENT – This red LED lights when the first
event is logged into VI-POSCON memory and
remains lit until the user has reviewed that
event and all other subsequent logged events.
On system power-up, the DATA and EVENT
LEDs momentarily light red.
MOUSE – This is a mini-DIN socket for
connecting a PS/2 mouse to the VI-POSCON
System. A tick-mark indicates the location of
the connector's key.
VI-POSCON Rear Panel
The following is an illustration and description
of the VI-POSCON rear panel connectors.
[A] Power Input – a DIN connector for the
power supply unit (PSU).
[B] Alarms I/O & VCR/DVR – a 37-pin D-type
female connector for alarm inputs, relay
outputs, and VCR or DVR.
[C] Printer – a 25-pin D-type female connector
for connecting the VI-POSCON printer.
[D] 485 – a 9-pin D-type RS-232/RS485 female
connector for future use (to allow the
connection of multiple VI-POSCON controllers).
[E] 232A and 232B – two 9-pin D-type RS-
232/RS-485 male connectors for future use.
[F] Data1 through Data4 – four 9-pin D-type
RS-232/RS-485 male connectors for input from
the Printer Port Interfaces. (The Printer Port
Interfaces can output data in either RS-232 or
RS-485.)
[G] AUX – a BNC connector for future use.
[H] Main Mon. – a BNC connector for the main
monitor when VI-POSCON is configured as a
standalone system (more than one
camera/register input with output to a single
VCR/monitor).
[I] Video Input (1 through 4) – four BNC
connectors for camera input.
[J] Video Output (1 through 4) – four BNC
connectors for video output. The video output
signals include the text overlay from the EPoS.
Using the Mouse
The VI-POSCON System lets you make
changes to the system operation through
menus displayed on the monitor. You use a
pointing device, or mouse, to display the
menus and to make the changes you want. A
VI-POSCON mouse looks similar to this:
The Customer Engineer who installs your VI-
POSCON System connects the mouse to the
VI-POSCON controller, and uses the mouse to
initially set up your system. You must use the
mouse to perform all menu operations.
The mouse buttons perform the following
functions:
Left button
In event monitoring, click this
button to display the ENTER
PASSWORD screen.
Right button In the MANAGER MENU, click
this button to resume event
monitoring. In any other menu,
click this button to return to the
previous menu.
Center
button or
wheel This button or wheel, if present,
is not used.
Think of the left mouse button as an "ENTER"
button and the right mouse button as an "EXIT"
button.
Note: When the monitor displays VI-POSCON
menus:
•
The system suspends event monitoring.
Exception and external events are not
displayed or recorded.
•
If a menu remains idle for 15 seconds, the
system returns to a previous menu (if one
exists) or to event monitoring.
