  • Page 10: System Configuration

    System Configuration The following information details the possible interconnections between lamps and cameras and the links made using the Configuration Mode DIP Switch. Links that are permanently hard wired are marked HW. Links that are made by turning ON (closing) switches 1 to 4 are identified by number. Configurations marked X are not valid.
  • Page 11 There are many possible custom configuration scenarios. The following schematic diagram illustrates the possible interconnections and the examples are intended as a guide only. Switch 1 Switch 2 Switch 3 Switch 4 Example 1 : (Default Setting) Both Lamps enabled by either Aux Telemetry, Cam1 O/P or Cam2 O/P : Short Circuit=ON Conditional on Photocell status –...
  • Page 12 Switch 1 Switch 2 Switch 3 Switch 4 Example 4 : (Hybrid Lamps) With Lamp1 = White Light, Lamp2=InfraRed Lamp2 (IR) is ON if photocell status is dark (or permanently ON if photocell is disabled) Lamp1 (WL) is enabled if Cam1 O/P detects motion or by PIR via Aux Telemetry. Turning ON of Lamp1 is conditional on its photocell, if it is enabled.
  • Page 13 With both Lamps = White Light, Cam1 = Thermal imaging, Cam2 = Colour IP type. If lamp photocells are disabled, both Lamps are turned ON via Cam1 O/P on motion detection. This action is detected by Cam2 I/P which can activate video capture streaming.
