6. Wire the alarm inputs, alarm output, and external trigger directly. Refer to Figure 6 to build a cable using either the 15-pin
or 25-pin D-type mating connector that is supplied with the switcher.
The alarm inputs require a ground signal to activate them. There is one alarm input for each camera. For example, an
alarm on input 5 directs the switcher to select camera 5.
The alarm output is a relay with normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) contacts. This connection is intended to
activate an external device, such as a VCR, when there is an alarm. Refer to the
Specifications
section for the voltage and
current ratings of the relay.
The external trigger is an input connection. It is for use with time-lapse recorders that have an external trigger output to
control the sequencing of cameras.
7. Plug in the power cord. The switcher begins operating.
8. Synchronize the cameras if there is vertical roll when switching between cameras. Refer to the instruction manuals
supplied with the cameras.
