VCR recording speed (record hours mode). Proper VCR playback operation requires that the DPX16 be set up to multiplex at the rate which is compatible with your VCR recording speed (see page 10). During multiplexing, a single frame from each camera is alternately output to the VCR with the factory default set so that each live camera is given an equal number of frames on the tape. -

Schedule. The Alarm Schedule is a 7-day timer schedule with a single ON and OFF time associated with each day of the week. The DPX16 also has an external input signal that can be selected between picture Freeze and Alarm Master Enable. The Alarm Master Enable signal can be used in conjunction with your burglar alarm control panel so that the alarm control panel can enable or disable the DPX16 alarm system. -

OVER EMOVAL The top cover of the DPX16 should only be removed if it is necessary to adjust input termination settings, or RS-232 port settings. To remove the top cover, remove the 4 screws on each side. Gently slide the top cover back until the cover disengages from the plastic front panel bezel and then lift the cover off the chassis. -

4X4, to 3x3, to quad, then back to 4x4, and so forth. A push and hold of this button for approximately 3 seconds will bring up the DPX16 set up main menu. To view additional cameras in the 3x3 or quad display modes, push the SEQUENCE button and the DPX16 will sequence the display through the available cameras. -
Page 8: Vcr Bypass Function Operation
An approximately 3 second long press of the VCR button activates the “VCR Bypass” function and the VCR LED will flash while the unit is in “VCR Bypass” mode. While in this mode, the DPX16 will pass the VCR output directly to the main display monitor. A single push of the VCR button will return the unit to normal VCR playback mode and/or back to live display mode. -
Page 9: Set Up Menus
Selection of any menu item is done with the camera select keys on the front panel. Selecting DISPLAY will exit the present menu level. Note that since DPX16 operating modes are affected by menu settings, the DPX16 will not operate as desired until the menu system is exited, returning the DPX16 to its normal operating mode. -

Page 16: Set Alarm Enable Schedule
The DPX16 contains a very flexible and advanced alarming system designed to provide an optimum solution for any installation. Along with the ability to enable various types of alarm inputs, a built in 7-day timer may also be used to individually enable and disable each alarm. The following menus are used to set the timer and select which alarms the timer will control. -
Page 17: Alarm Control Options
When the alarm “Master Enable” mode is selected, the entire DPX16 alarm system will be enabled or disabled by this input according to the logic level specified by the “Master Enable Input Type” setting. This input can be used to control the DPX16 alarm system from a burglar alarm system, or other external control system. -

In this application, the pull-up +Vsupply (30Vdc, 50mA max) resistor is not tied to the DPX16 +5V pin, but to the higher voltage system. Voltages greater than +5V Alarm Output must not exceed 30 Vdc and the current through the Vout = High = no alarm output pin must not exceed 50 mA. - Page 25 In some installations, the alarm output is used to activate or deactivate high voltage and/or high current circuitry (110 VAC lights, siren, etc. ) which cannot be controlled directly by the DPX16. In other cases, the alarm output needs to control multiple circuits of different types (mixed DC and AC equipment) or the “sense”...
