External Control
7 About the external control
This monitor has three external control terminals.
• MAKE/TRIGGER terminal (RJ-45): The following external control systems are available.
(1) MAKE (make contact) system: Controls the monitor by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to
the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it.
(2) TRIGGER (trigger) system: Controls the monitor by sending the pulse signal instantaneously to the
corresponding pin terminal.
☞ “Using the MAKE/TRIGGER system” on the right
• RS-485 terminals (RJ-45): Controls the monitor with the RS-485 system. (☞ “Using the serial communication”
on page 22)
• RS-232C terminal (D-sub 9-pin): Controls the monitor with the RS-232C system. (☞ “Using the serial
communication” on page 22)
Set the following items of “REMOTE SETTING” in SET-UP MENU according to the external control terminal and
control system. (☞ “SERIAL TYPE,” “PARALLEL TYPE” on page 18)

For a monitor connected to a personal computer etc, select the terminal the equipment is actually connected to.
For other monitors, select “RS485.”
Control priority is as follows.
MAKE > TRIGGER = serial communication = buttons and menu on the monitor
• You can use external control even when “CONTROL LOCK” is set to “VOL.LOCK” or “ALL LOCK” (☞ page 19).
• When the monitor is off (on standby), external control is not available. But certain external controls (
starting/
terminating communication, turning on the monitor
) are available through the serial communication (☞ page 23).

7 Using the MAKE/TRIGGER system
The MAKE/TRIGGER terminal is configured as follows. You can assign a function to each pin terminal in
“REMOTE SETTING.” (☞ “PIN1, PIN2, PIN3, PIN4, PIN5” in “PARALLEL TYPE” on page 18)
• You cannot change the functions assigned to the pin terminals from 6th to 8th.

The 6th pin terminal controls turning on or off the tally lamp (available to control even when the 7th pin terminal
is invalid).

The 7th pin terminal makes the external control valid/invalid. Make sure to control the terminal by the MAKE
system.
To assign the functions to the pin terminals
For the operation procedure, see page 7.
1 Select “REMOTE SETTING” on the SET-UP MENU.
2 Set “PARALLEL TYPE” to “SET.”
3 Select a pin name (“PIN1” – “PIN5”) for which you want to assign a function, then select the function you want
to assign.
• For the selectable functions, see the table on page 21.
Operation of the external control
1 Set “PARALLEL TYPE” of “REMOTE SETTING” to “MAKE” or “TRIGGER” in the SET-UP MENU.
2 Short-circuit the 7th pin terminal (ENABLE) to the 8th pin terminal (GND) so that the monitor can be controlled
by the external control.
3 When the “MAKE” system is selected: Operate each function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal
to the 8th pin terminal (GND) or opening it.
When the “TRIGGER” system is selected: Operate each function by pulse control, that is short-circuiting the
corresponding pin terminal to the 8th pin terminal (GND) for about 1 second and opening it.
• When changing the input with MAKE system, only one pin terminal must be short-circuited. (Other pin terminals
must be opened.)
• When selecting the “TRIGGER” system, you can operate only one function at a time. Operate the functions one
by one.
This is a female terminal.
