PC Command Reset
The alarm is reset by an OAL command from a personal
computer, either manually or automatically depending on
the Alarm Reset parameter selected.

Monitor
The figure below shows an example of how alarm is dis-
played when a Multiscreen 2 Monitor is connected to the
REC OUT connector.
(selects ALM-LINK for ALM MODE-MLT in the ALARM
SETUP menu.)
• When alarm is activated, the image of the alarmed cam-
era is displayed in single spot mode on the multiscreen
2 monitor.
• From the second alarm on, the images of the alarmed
cameras are displayed in quad mode on the multi-
screen 2 monitor in the order of upper left to lower right
segment.
• The fifth alarm activated is displayed in single spot
mode on the multiscreen monitor, while the previous
four alarms remain displayed in quad mode on the mul-
tiscreen 2 monitor.
• From the sixth alarm on, the images of the alarmed
cameras are displayed in quad mode on the multi-
screen monitor.
• From the ninth alarm on, the images of the alarmed
cameras on the multiscreen 2 monitor are overwritten in
the order of upper left to lower right segment.
Then the overwritten and previous images are dis-
played alternately.
• From the thirteenth alarm on, the images of the alarmed
cameras on the multiscreen monitor are overwritten in
the order of upper left to lower right segment.
Then that overwritten and previous images are dis-
played alternately.

Recording on the Time Lapse VCR
The following selections are made in the WJ-FS616C
SETUP MENU described previously.
Refer to the Recording Mode Setup on page 33 for further
details.
1. Check the selected recording mode (MODE 0 - MODE
9).
MODE 0:Normal Mode (Real Time)
MODE 1 - 9:Time Lapse Mode (Linear Mode)
If MODE 9 is selected, check the image (spot or
quad) to be recorded on the VCR.
2. Press the Record button of the VCR to begin recording.
Notes:
• To let the VCR display the VCR menu for setup,
select MODE 0 in the REC MODE SETUP menu of
the multiplexer.
• While recording with the camera switching pulse
(MODE 9), quad recording will work properly when
the selected recording interval is more than 0.11
seconds (less than 9 fields/s).
• While recording without the camera switching pulse
(MODE 1 – 8), quad recording is not available.
When using a VCR whose recording interval is 2 or
3 fields, select 4 fields (minimum) for the REC
MODE parameter.
However the same image may be recorded repeat-
edly.
Camera Switching Pulse Loss
Display
• When loss of the camera switching pulse is detected,
“SW LOSS” will blink on the monitor screen.
• The buzzer does not beep.
• When the camera switching pulse is recovered, “SW
LOSS” is cleared from the monitor.
Notes:
• When MODE 0 to MODE 8 is selected for recording,
or MULTI2 OUTPUT for REC/ MULTI2, “SW LOSS”
is not displayed because of the way the system
application works.
• If “ALARM” or “CH✽✽LOSS” is displayed on the
monitor screen, “SW LOSS” is not displayed
because alarm has priority.

qualified service personnel or system installers.
Modifying the Front Panel
Peel the tape off the supplied panel templates, then attach
them on the front panel of the system controller.

Controller
If the supplied 6-conductor cable assembly is used, simply
plug one end of the cable into the DATA IN port of the
video multiplexer and the other end into the DATA OUT port
on the system controller.
If you use cables assembled from locally procured materi-

suitable for RS-485 communication (shielded 4-wire twisted
pair cable) is used.
Low grade cable will result in unstable operation of the sys-
