N.O. = Normally Open N.C. = Normally Closed The alarm/action box performs two distinct functions: Action This function, for example, opens a door remotely. Pressing the action button of the system monitor activates a relay contact. This contact (N.O., N.C.) can activate, for instance, a door opener. Note that the action button only activates the action box designated to the camera input whose picture is shown on the monitor screen.
Installation Remark: When the system configuration is altered, the system monitor needs to check and memorize the configuration of the cameras and accessories connected to its inputs. This is done automatically when the power is switched on. Use the power switch to switch off.
Fit the circuit board. Now make the connections as described in section 'Action output'. Remark: See section 'Installation and setting of an optional Passive Infra-Red (PIR) detector', for installation and connection of an PIR-detector. IMPORTANT: Adjust the settings of the circuit board switches to configure the box according to your system.
Installation of the PIR Remove the fixation-screw (1) and open the housing by releasing the locking latch (2). Both are located at the bottom of the unit. CL 76610006_002.AI Remove the circuit board by loosening the fixation-screw ( Warning: Never touch the face of the PYRO sensor (refer to lay out drawing next page).

Adjust lens position (0°, -5° or -10°) according to desired maximum sensor range (see table below). Remark: Do not use positions +5° or +10° as they do not apply to this PIR. Sensor height Maximum sensor range (m) / Lens position (°) 0°...
Adjust settings of walk test LED and/or pulse counter, if required. See section 'PIR settings'. Fit the front cover. Check if it is locked to the bottom side. 10 Fasten the fixation-screw. Remark: The PIR detector will start detecting movement approximately 2 minutes after mains power-on.
System cable For the interconnections between the monitor, accessories and camera a system cable is supplied. For optimum picture and sound quality you should always use 4-wire dual twisted-pair cable when extending the connection (max. 300m/900ft). The cable and plugs are available in the hobby and professional trade.
Action output The figure below shows the screw terminals to which, for example, a door-opener circuit can be connected. System-cable input System-cable output Switches 1, 2 & 3 Rotary switch (designates the box to a camera input) Tamper switch Terminal block for optional Passive Infra-Red detector CAMERA # CL 66610005_505.AI...
Alarm input The alarm/action box provides inputs for detectors with N.O. and N.C. contacts. The figure above shows how they are connected to the screw terminals of the box. Note: - When no detectors with N.C. contacts are used terminals 1 and 2 must be interconnected with a wire.

CAMERA # Colour Observation system talk action menu auto next view Note: Switch positions 0 and those beyond the maximum number of inputs have no function. When two alarm/action boxes are addressed to the same camera input, both boxes will activate the action relay when the action button on the system monitor is pressed.
Box number This switch (BOX) informs the circuit about the accessory number when two boxes are designated to the same camera input of the system monitor. A maximum of two alarm/action boxes can be designated to one camera input. Switch 1 (BOX) position description first box which is designated to the camera input set...
Double addressing error Two alarm/action boxes or intercom boxes, which are designated to the same camera input, have the same 'box-number'. Remark: Although the cameras will work, none of the accessories in any camera line will be functioning. If the system monitor detects two boxes with the same designation and box number, it shows the following error message: DOUBLE ADDRESSING “Accessory name”...
