Alarm Recording - American Dynamics ADR8045X Instruction Manual

ALARM RECORDING

If an alarm condition arises, the alarm function operates with an alarm input signal.
Operation at Alarm Input
When there is an alarm during recording, recording pause or stop modes, the VTR automatically goes into alarm recording mode.
The VTR can be programmed to record in the following time modes during alarm recording: A3, A12, A18, A24.
When there is an alarm input in the STOP mode, a slight delay will occur in start of the alarm recording.
When the pause mode continues for 10 minutes the VTR goes to the stop mode. This occurs in order to protect the video heads
and tape. While in pause mode, the video head is constantly tracing the same location.
Alarm recording will not operate from power off mode and timer power off mode.
Event Recording
If event recording is desired, set the VTR's recording mode to L01, L02 or L03. In order to accomplish this press the time mode
button until "L01", "L02" or "L03" is shown.
If there is no alarm input present when in "L01", "L02" or "L03" mode, the VTR automatically forwards 2 fields with recording every
appointed time (L01: 1min, L02: 2min, L03: 3min.) to protect the tape and the video head from damage.
