equipment.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Unplug this equipment during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when
the equipment has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord
or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
equipment, the equipment has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
14. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this equipment
to rain or moisture.
15. The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the equipment.
16. The back of the monitor should only be removed by qualified
maintenance and service personnel.
17. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within a triangle, is intended
to alert the user to the presence of uninstalled “dangerous voltage” within
the product's enclosure; that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
18. Caution: to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or
back). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
19. The exclamation mark within a triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying the appliance.
VENTILATION
20. Keep ventilation openings free to avoid the monitor for overheating.
21. Do not place the monitor in the immediate vicinity of a heating source.
22. Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a bookcase or
similar unit.
CLEANING
23. You can clean the monitor with a moist fluff-free cloth or shammy leather
cloth.
DISPOSAL
24. This monitor contains batteries. Do not dispose of these batteries with
other solid waste. The batteries type AA (standard penlights) are located in
the battery compartment at the bottom of your monitor.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Remark: Philips has a strong commitment towards the environment. This monitor
has been designed to respect the environment as much as possible.
Note: Any change or modification not expressly approved by Philips of the
equipment authorization could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
This chapter describes the installation of the system
hardware. For details of operation, see the supplied
Operation Instructions.
Note: Ensure that you read all safety precautions.
2.1 SYSTEM CABLE
For the interconnection between the monitor and
camera a 15m/45ft system cable is supplied with the
camera. For an optimum picture and sound quality you
should always use 4-wire dual twisted-pair cable when
extending the connection. The maximum allowed cable
length is 200m/600ft. Pay attention that the connectors
are fixed to the cable corresponding to the figure below.
(Figure 3.1) If the length of the system cable is over
200m/600ft (up to 300m/900ft), an interface box
should be used to feed the accessory or camera (see
optional accessories in the Operation Instructions).
Caution: The plugs used for the observation system
have the same dimensions as standard telephone plugs.
(RJ-11) Never connect telephone equipment or cable
to the observation system.
2.2 SYSTEM CONNECTION
2.2.1 Camera inputs (1 to 4)
The cameras are connected to inputs 1 through to 4,
depending on the number of cameras used.
2.2.2 Slave output
An output for a slave monitor (optional accessory) is
available. This output can also be used to connect an
optional Network Observation System.
2.2.3 Aux. output/input
You can configure an auxiliary output configuration via
the menu option (see System settings). The auxiliary
output provides loop-through from one of the 4 camera
inputs or presentation mode where you can connect
another video source to aux-in. It is possible to switch
between this video source and one of the camera
pictures.
Note: The supplied A/V cable can be used for Aux.
output/input connection. However, if you are using two
VCRs, you will need to order a second A/V cable (see your
local supplier).
n Connect the Mini Din plug to the Aux. connector
of the system monitor.

n Connect the BNC connectors to the video in and
video output of the VCR or CVBS monitor.
n Connect the RCA plugs to the Audio in and Audio
out of your VCR or CVBS monitor.
2.2.4 VCR in/output
The VCR in/output allows you to connect a VCR to
record camera images.
n Connect the Mini Din plug to the VCR connector
of the system monitor.
n Connect the BNC connectors to the video in and
video output of the VCR.
Attention: The ‘Video In plug’ of the A/V cable must be
connected to the ‘Video out’ of the VCR. The ‘Video Out
plug’ of the A/V cable must be connected to the ‘Video In’
of the VCR.
n Connect the RCA connectors to the Audio in and
Audio out of your VCR.
Attention: The ‘Audio In plug’ of the A/V cable must be
connected to the ‘Audio out’ of the VCR. The ‘Audio Out
plug’ of the A/V cable must be connected to the ‘Audio In’
of the VCR.
2.2.5 Alarm output contact (N.O./N.C.)
In case of an alarm a potential free relay contact
(Normally Open/Normally Closed; 24V/2A max.) can
activate a VCR, siren or telephone selector. If the ‘alarm
output’ is connected to the ‘alarm input’ of a video
recorder, the recording speed will switch from timelapse to normal speed in case of an alarm. This will
result in the recording of more pictures per second. If
the alarm is acknowledged by the user or automatically
after 30 seconds the VCR switches back to time-lapse
mode.
2.2.6 RS232
For service purposes to connect a PC/Laptop to
install/configure the observation System.
2.2.7 Mains Power Connector
Ensure that you observe all safety precautions when
connecting the mains power cable and switching on the
power.
Attention: When the configuration is changed, the system
must be scanned again. Therefore always
switch off the
system before a camera or accessory is added or removed.
After power up the system monitor will recognize the item
that was added or removed.
2.3 WIZARD INSTALLATION
When the system is powered up the FIRST time, the
WIZARD setup option is displayed. The Installation
Wizard will guide you through the most important
settings of the system. Follow the screen options and
select using the ROTARY wheel.
Note: When an additional camera or accessory is
connected to the system, the WIZARD function is
automatically enabled and you are guided through the
appropriate menus at power up.
During startup the following screen is displayed:

2 BASIC OPERATION
Operation and programming of the system is performed
through On Screen Display (OSD) menus. With these
easy to use menus you can setup the system to your
own needs.
2.1 OPERATOR CONTROLS
The functional operation of the Philips Observation
System Switcher is as follows.
2.1.1 Power Switch

(x.x = version number)
After a while the camera image appears on the monitor
screen.
2.1.2 Day/Night
The system can be set in two different modes, DAY
Mode and NIGHT Mode. These two modes are setup
in the System setup menus and allow different
configurations for day operation and night-time
operation. For example, at night-time operation, the
display picture can be switched off, alarm inputs
enabled etc.
Day mode
In the day mode the image and sound of the monitor
are switched on and the day alarm profile is enabled.
Night mode
In the Night mode, the night alarm profile is enabled.

Remark: By switching over from day to night the actual
night profile is activated after the programmed exit delay
time is expired. The LED colour changes accordingly.
An alarm generated in night mode will be processed by the
system after the entry delay time is expired. If the system
switches over from night to day during this entry delay
time a generated alarm will not be processed. Exceptions
are special alarms, which always will be processed .
LED indication is as follows:
LED is OFF Observation System off
LED is Green Observation System is in DAY
MODE
LED is Amber Observation System is in NIGHT
MODE with the screen display
function disabled.
LED is Red Observation System is in NIGHT
