Chapter 6 Booting System 6 Booting System GTX Homepage GTX HOMEPAGE The GTX is defaulted to start automatically when power is applied. All functions are controlled via the RX930 Module. Use the push button on the left side of the case (located on the module) to power the DVR and cameras on. After boot up the DVR will go to the homepage (see image above); 2 seconds later, it goes to live view on camera one. To change to camera two push the Swap View icon. These functions allow the user to focus and view the target area. Once live view has been set, push the Swap View icon to go back to the home page. Auto/Manual switch should be in auto mode. DocRef#0020601 GTX User Guide Page 16 ...
Once the system is booted using the RX930 module push button, you can initiate a recording using one of the two available methods. WARNING: A mass storage device cannot be inserted or removed while recording. Doing so may corrupt the device! Power Supply: The GTX is powered by it’s own internal 3.6 volt rechargeable lithium battery. The “AA”’s power the RX930 wireless controller module and the camera. Alternately, you can plug a 12 volt ext. battery to power both the GTX and the RX930. NOTE: When using the external 12 volt battery be sure to d isconnect the GTX internal LiPo 3.6 volt battery and to c onnect the extended power DC plug to the GTX. The external 12v replaces all of the system power sources, including the AA’s. Recording Options: ● Main screen soft key: Press the “Record Stop/Start” button located on the main screen to start recording. The record icon will begin pulsing. Press the button again to stop recording. The record icon will begin pulsing quickly. To stop recording push Record Icon. Once the record button has stopped pulsing, the file has been fully written to the card and it is safe to remove the media. ...

Chapter 9 Programming 9 Programming The Receiver Processor is designed to receive signals from sensors, process the information, and then control a video camera. Programming: Whenever, an alarm occurs, the sensor sends a packet of data or alarm record that characterizes the object that is detected. Some or all of the data can be used to qualify the alarm before a decision is made to activate the camera. Additionally, various timers are available to control how long or at what times video is recorded. All of these variables are programmed into the Receiver by the TPM1 Programmer and TPC1 Tablet. Alternately, the most important variable, the Receiver’s Video Runtime Variable, can be manually programmed with the Program/Reset Button without using the TPM1 Programmer.

Each push of the button corresponds to 10 seconds, with a maximum entry of 4 minutes (24 punches). Once you have set the video run time, the R ED will flash back the number of times that the switch was pressed. The system is LED now ready to receive a signal from a sensor and will automatically start recording once a signal is received. If you do not enter the Video Runtime after the Receiver Processor is reset, the device will enter the default state where the run time is infinite (or until the battery dies) when the sensor trips. NOTE: Each time the sensor is tripped, the video recording will incrementally add additional programmed time to the video already in progress. DocRef#0020601 GTX User Guide Page 25 ...
