Introduction
By purchasing this system you possess a sophisticated,
easy-to-operate observation system.
The observation system consists of a specially designed
monochrome monitor with a number of observation
and security functions, including:
• Reproduction of image and sound picked-up by the
camera (can be extended by an intercom). The
reproduced images and sound can be recorded by means
of a video recorder.
• Quad mode feature displays images of up to 4 cameras
in 4 quadrants on the monitor screen.
• Event replay function to store and replay the images of
an alarm, a doorbell or a lost camera.
• Monitoring of the camera lines for breakage in the cable.
• Alarm detection by means of an alarm box (optional) or
by the alarm contacts on the camera.
• Triggering external equipment by means of an action
box (optional) and/or alarm.
• On Screen Display (OSD) to show time, date, camera
number and alarm information on screen or on video
tape.
When the picture and sound are switched off by means
of the power save switch on the control panel of the
monitor, the cameras continue to transmit images and
sound to the VCR and slave output. The alarm
functions also remain active.
In addition, several CCD cameras and accessories can be
connected to the monitor by means of a four-wire
(telephone) system cable.
Accessories:
The system can be extended by one or more system
accessories or other peripheral equipment, such as:
• Intercom box
• Alarm box
• Action box
• Cameras (a maximum of four)
• Cable extension adapter
• Camera interface box
• Slave monitor
• Video printers
Mains supply:
The monitor can be connected to a power voltage of
100-240 V ~ 50/60 Hz. The safe low-voltage (24 V _) for
the camera(s) and the system accessory boxes is supplied
by the monitor through the system cable.
Read these instructions, before putting your system in
operation.

Installation
Cable
When the configuration is altered, the
system must be scanned again. Therefore
always switch off the system by means of
the rear power switch when a camera or
accessory is added or removed. Only
operating the power save button is not
sufficient.
Remark: Only the inputs to which cameras are connected can
be selected or used by the monitor. It is therefore useless to
connect an accessory to an input to which no camera is
connected.
Monitor
On the back of the monitor the following can be
connected:
Cameras
Connect the camera to one of the camera inputs at the
back of the monitor (fig. B-1).
Correctly directing the camera at the object will be easier
when the monitor is temporarily installed at the camera
site.
A 4-wire system cable (see specifications) is supplied as
standard.
For optimum picture and sound quality, a standard dual
'twisted-pair' (telephone) cable should be used.
There is an extensive range of plugs and tools available
in the hobby and professional trade to extend the cable.
Always ensure that the connection is made as shown in
figure C.
Caution: The plugs used for the observation system have the
same dimensions as standard telephone plugs. Never connect a
telephone to the camera or system monitor.
The maximum distance that can be bridged (without a
cable extension adapter) between the monitor and the
cameras is 300 meters.
VCR
For the recording and reproducing of image and sound a
video recorder has to be connected to the input and
output (VCR-audio/video in/out) on the back of the
monitor (fig. B-2).
The VCR output can also be used to connect other
peripheral equipment. For example, a video printer for
hard copies.
Extra monitor
You can connect an extra monitor to the slave-output
(fig. B-3), by using the same twisted pair system cable.
The extra monitor gives exactly the same image and
sound as the basic system monitor.
In VCR mode, the slave monitor shows the image of the
last selected camera.
Alarm contact
The alarm contact (make (N.O.) and break (N.C.)) of the
monitor (fig. B-5) can, for instance, be used to start up a
video recorder, siren or telephone selector.

Operation
Monitor
System on/off
By means of the system button (fig. B-7) the system can
be switched on and off.
When the system is switched off all the camera LED's are
off and the auto (sequence) LED flashes on periodically.
Remark: Use the system button to switch off the system when
a camera or accessory is added or removed.
If the automatic camera sequence is active, it will be
stopped. If the system operator does not react within 1
minute to the warning signal by pressing any button, the
monitor will return to its previous status, or the
automatic camera sequence will continue. The Event
Replay will be activated.
Action function
By means of the action button (fig. A-10) it is possible to
activate an (optional) action box. This can, for instance,
be used to open a door remotely. The action box
remains active for as long as the button is pressed.
Power active/save
By pressing the power save button (fig. A-1) the image
and sound of the monitor can be switched off, thus
saving power.
The camera continues to transmit image and sound to
the VCR, slave and aux. output. The alarm functions
also remain active.
By pressing the set and power save button
simultaneously the system can be toggled between power
save/normal mode and power save/silent mode. If the
power save button is pressed the system will switch to
the last toggled power save mode.
Normal mode (the auto sequence LED (fig. A-12) is on)
In case of an alarm, a cable cut or a doorbell, the
monitor automatically switches from power save to
'active' mode and the monitor automatically reproduces
the image and sound of the triggered camera input.
When there is no response, the system will automatically
return to the power save mode after 1 minute.
Silent mode (the auto sequence LED (fig. A-12) flashes off
periodically)
On occurrence of an alarm or doorbell the monitor stays
in 'power save' mode. No image or sound is reproduced
and the LED of the camera input, which triggered the
alarm or doorbell, will rapidly blink. The alarm output
contact is activated (in case of an alarm).
Brightness/contrast
With the brightness (fig. A-6) and contrast knob (fig.
A-5) the picture can be adjusted to your personal
preference or to the ambient conditions.
Volume
With the volume knob the sound level can be adjusted
(fig. A-7).
Talk function
By pressing the talk button (fig. A-8) the built-in
microphone (fig. A-9) in the monitor is switched on.
The sound from the microphone can be reproduced by
means of an intercom box (optional).
Doorbell function
When the doorbell button on the optional intercom box
is pressed, a buzzer will sound at the monitor, after
which the picture will be switched to the corresponding
camera.
View modes
By pressing the view button (fig. A-4) the following view
modes can be selected:
Full screen mode
A maximum of four cameras can be connected to the
monitor. Choosing a camera is done with the camera
selection keys 1, 2, 3 and 4 (fig. A-2). The appropriate
LED will light up.
The number of the selected camera will be visible at the
top side of the monitor screen.
Camera sequence mode
The monitor switches slowly between the pictures (image
+ sound) of the connected cameras. The camera number
and the sequence symbolVare visible at the top of the
screen. The camera sequence LED (fig. A-12) and the Led
of the currently seleted camera are on (fig. A-2).
The camera sequence time (auto sequence time) can be
adjusted between 4 and 60 seconds on the back of the
monitor (fig. B-4).
Remark: This mode is only functional when the observation
system has more than one camera.
Quad mode
The images of the (max. 4) connected cameras are
displayed simultaneously at ¼ of the screen size.
The sound is coming from the selected camera whose
border is high-lighted in green. Unavailable images are
shown as grey black areas.
VCR mode
The monitor reproduces the image and sound of the
VCR.
The VCR-LED (fig. A-11) will light up.

alarm of which has to be switched on or off (LED on =
alarm on; LED off = alarm off).
If all camera lines are set, programming can be ended by
pushing the auto button. The monitor will return to the
status it had before programming.
Automatic alarm termination
After 3 minutes the monitor returns to the status it was
in before the alarm was sounding.
If the automatic camera sequence was active, it will be
continued. However, the corresponding camera LED
remains flashing for as long as the alarm line is active
(alarm detector is still active) or the camera line is still cut.
Premature (within 3 minutes) alarm
termination
The alarm output (fig. B-5) will be de-activated by
switching off the alarm. See alarm programming above.
Pressing any key on the control panel of the monitor
within 15 seconds will end the alarm sound only.
Remark: In case of multiple events on multiple cameras, the
system will always switch to the camera input of the latest
event. This event will be recorded and replayed.
Next camera input
When closing the contacts of the next camera input (fig.
B-6), the system switches to the next available camera (for
future use).
Alarm
An alarm will sound if:
• there is a break in the camera line.
• this is detected by a camera alarm input or by an alarm
box (optional).
When an alarm sounds:
1) The system automatically switches to the corresponding
camera input.
2) The Event Replay window will be shown.
3) The corresponding camera LED will start to blink.
4) The built-in alarm buzzer will be audible for 15 seconds.
5) The alarm contact (fig. B-5) is changed over for 3
minutes.
The alarm contact can activate a video recorder, siren or
telephone selector.
Alarm programming
If required, an alarm in a particular camera line can be
disabled. This may be necessary to disconnect the alarms
of a door contact or movement detector during the
daytime. However, the cable detection remains active at
all times.
Alarm priority
A new alarm always gets priority. The monitor will
always switch to the camera of the last-received alarm but
the LED(s) of each previously received alarm blink faster.
Tips for maintenance
Ventilation
Avoid overheating the system monitor by ensuring that
the ventilation openings on the top of the monitor
remain uncovered. Do not place the monitor in the
immediate vicinity of a heat source.
Cleaning
You can clean the system monitor with a moist, fluff-free
cloth or chamois leather cloth.
The outside of the camera can be cleaned with a moist,
fluff-free cloth or chamois leather cloth.
When cleaning the objective a special lens cleaning cloth
should be used. Do NOT use cleaning fluids that
contain alcohol, methylated spirit, ammonia, etc..
