OVERVIEW

The PMCQ14A Color Quad Monitor is the ideal choice when you need an easy-to-install
video surveillance system for viewing up to four areas at once. Cameras of your choice or
alternate video sources (such as VCRs) can be used.

All monitor controls are located on the front of the unit. An observer can change the display
to zoom in on a single camera with the touch of a button. Camera ID is displayed on the
screen and is easily programmed.

In addition to its video capabilities, the monitor offers alarm and intercom features. The
alarm lets you install a “call” button near the camera so that a person on camera can get
the attention of the observer. The monitor has audio intercom capabilities that function only
when CCQ1400A-4 cameras are used.

VCR connections are provided for recording cameras.
Alarm connections are provided on the back of the monitor. These connections serve as

inputs to connect alarm contacts directly to the monitor when using a camera without alarm
inputs. If not used as inputs, they can be used as outputs to provide a TTL compatible
interface for operating alarm annunciators or other notification devices. Connections are
easily made via push-in type wire connectors. An alarm trigger output is also provided on
the push-in type wire connector. This can be used to automatically start a VCR when an
alarm occurs.

2. Connect cameras or alternate video
sources to the desired channel
IN/OUT connectors on the back of
the monitor (refer to Figure 3).

3. Set impedance switches to the
75-ohm position (refer to Figure 3).

4. If alarm contacts are used, run wires
from the contacts to the monitor and
connect at the push-in connector on
the back (refer to Figure 3).

5. If used, connect a VCR to the VIDEO/AUDIO IN/OUT jacks and/or MONITOR OUT
connector, depending on the type of connectors on the VCR (refer to Figure 3). If
MONITOR OUT is not used for a VCR, another monitor can be connected. If MONITOR
OUT has equipment connected to it, set the impedance switch to HI. If MONITOR OUT
is unused, set the switch to 75 ohms.

6. Plug in the power cord (refer to Figure 3).

7. Turn on MAIN switch on the back of the monitor (refer to Figure 3). Then press the
