Page 14: Preliminary Operations
Preliminary Operations Required Connections You must connect the programming keyboard and monitor to the Matrix 66 card cage in order to view the menus and make the choices that will define your operating parameters. With the power to the Matrix 66 turned off, plug an IBM-style keyboard into the DIN connector on the front of the Matrix 66. -
Page 15: Entering And Exiting The Programming Screens
Also connect a coaxial cable to the BNC connector labeled “STATUS DISPLAY” on the decoder panel and to the “IN” BNC connector on a monitor. This monitor will be the programming monitor and will be used to make the programming choices required to build a customized configuration file for your system.

Page 18: System Programming
System Programming System programming is the process of selecting operating parameters which define a particular CCTV system. The set of operating parameters specified during the programming process is a system configuration. Using the programming keyboard, selections are made from menu-driven programming screens which are displayed on the programming monitor. -
Page 19: Administration
Administration The Administration Menus are used to specify supervisory parameters such as user privileges, host computer configuration and timed events. The Powerplus allows three levels of user privilege which limit access to specific programming screens and functions. Communication settings, such as the baud rate and parity, must be set in order to transmit data through the host port. -
Page 20: User Number
User Number The user number identifies each user in the CCTV system for tracking purposes. Up to 32 users may be assigned a user number in the Powerplus system. Settings: 01 to 32 Keys: Numeric keypad’s + (plus) key to increment Numeric keypad’s - (minus) key to decrement The login identification number must be entered for each user in the system. -
Page 21: Administrative User
Set Administrator Profiles If at least one user was granted administrator privilege, the Administrative Profiles Menu will be accessible. Otherwise, a message will display which directs the programmer to specify a user with administrator status, as discussed in Error Messages, Number of Administrators on page 82. The Administrator Profiles menu is used to define a passcode, automatic logoff and the dwell time for the automatic logoff option. -
Page 22: Logoff Dwell
Logoff Dwell If Auto Logoff was enabled as discussed in the previous section, the Logoff Dwell time and units must be specified. If no communications take place between the programming keyboard and the Powerplus for the period of time specified in Logoff Dwell, the administrator will be automatically logged off of the system. This does not refer to remote keypads. -
Page 23: Data Bits
Data Bits The data bits are the number of bits in each data character. Unless the configuration file will be transferred to or from the host computer, either setting below may be used as the number of data bits (the same number must be specified at the host computer and in this screen). -
Page 24: Program Timed Events
Program Timed Events Five timed event types are programmable in the Power-plus software: tours, salvos, presets, alarm enable, and alarm type. The first three event types specify the method of video switching to be performed. Alarm enable and type events control which alarm patterns are enabled and which will operate as momentary. Menu Path: Main Menu + Administration + Program Timed Events PROGRAM TIMED EVENTS EVENT NUMBER : 01... -
Page 25: Pattern/Number
Pattern/Number Events are identified using the event number setting discussed in Event Number on page 13. Events are further differentiated using a pattern or number identifier. Alarms may be grouped in patterns A, 6, or C, as discussed in Alarm inputs on page 42. Tours, salvos, and presets are identified using a number. For example, preset 01 may be event 10. -
Page 26: Monitor Number
Monitor Number The monitor number setting is applicable only if the event type setting is Tour. Select the monitor which will display the monitor tour specified in the Pattern/Nmbr setting.

Page 29: Receiver Number
Receiver Number The maximum number of receivers in the Powerplus system is 256. You must define the receiver to be used when the Event Type is set to Preset. For example, each receiver will typically have at least one programmed preset position and you need to differentiate between the preset 1 for each of the receivers. Note: This menu item is not displayed onscreen for the other event types. -

Page 38: Alarm Actions
Alarm Actions The alarm actions.available with Powerplus software provide versatile responses to activated alarms while maintaining simple alarm programming procedures. There are 256 alarms available from receivers and 256 alarms available from alarm interface devices (V1200X-IA or V13OOX-IA). Both alarms associated with a particular input number will activate if either activates, depending upon programming choices. - Page 39 Monitor Stack Mode An alarm monitor stack is a list of active alarms. The order in which alarms are added to the stack is defined Alarm lnpuf Order (Common Stack Mode Only) Alarm Order (Independent Stack Mode on page 32 or On/y) on page 37.

Assign Dial-Up Numbers Dial-up numbers are used to redefine the identifying numbers assigned to camera stations, salvos, and tours as a consequence of software defaults and hardware connections. For example, if dial-up numbers are not used to redefine video input numbers, video from camera stations will always be identified by the number of the video input connector on the rear panel, which is the same number as the receiver address specified using the appropriate DIP switch on a receiver printed circuit board. -
