Connecting additional alarm modules
Optional alarm modules (DM/CI01) can be added to the Digital Sprite 2 to
increase the number of alarm inputs. The Digital Sprite 2 can support multiple
alarm modules connected to the 485-bus.
To add alarms:
1. Connect the corresponding alarm contact to the alarm input, i.e. Alarm 2
would be connected between ground (GND) and A2.
2. If multiple alarm modules are required then each will need to be
addressed; consult the alarm module documentation for details.
3. Connect the 485-bus cable from the alarm module to one of the 485-bus
sockets on the Digital Sprite 2.
4. The polarity of the alarms (normally open/closed) is set in the 'Alarms and
Presets' menu page.
A1 A2 A3 A4
GND
Note: The alarm contacts do not have to correspond to the equivalent camera
number, for example alarm 2 could trigger camera 1, 2 and 3 into alarm mode,
refer to Alarms and Presets menu for configuration details.
An alarm trigger can be programmed to perform any of the following:
Action
Close/Open relay
Change the record rate
Display the alarm camera on main / spot monitor
Send a camera to a preset position
Trigger a zone alarm
Transmit an e-mail
