Master/Slave
This feature allows the use of multiple RT-195's to be used in
applications where you need real time continuous recording
with out interuption for more than 8 hours. Using 3 RT-195's
in this configuration will allow for 24 hour real-time record-
ing.
Using the RT-195's in a Master/Slave configuration requires
the use of the EOT and Alarm input terminal strip on the rear
of the RT-195. The wiring diagram appears on the next page.
To use the Master/Slave feature, each VCR must be pro-
grammed to ON in the MASTER/SLAVE menu.
To do this, from the main programming menu, place the ar-
row in front of 3 MASTER/SLAVE and press and release the
P/S button. The current selection will be displayed. (The de-
fault is OFF).
Use the (-) or (+) buttons to toggle between the selections.
When you choice is displayed, press and release the P/S but-
ton. Your selection will disappear and you can go on with
additional programming or EXIT the main menu.
When the Master/Slave mode is turned on, the POWER-UP
RECORD and RECYCLE RECORD are automatically defeated.
Note: Because the VCR unloads tape 5 minutes after it
goes idle, it takes time to put it back to the business of
recording. To overcome this problem, the RT-195 has a 4
minute timer to keep track of the idle time. After the idle
mode is detected, the controller starts a timer. If the timer
times out in the idle mode, the controller sends a record
command and a stop command 0.25 seconds later. In this
way, the VCR is always loaded with tape.
Programming Alarm
Back in the main menu, the arrow should be pointing to 3
RECORD, so press the (-) button to select ALARM, then press
and release the P/S button to display ALARM's sub-menu,
which should appear as follows:
1
