Using a Keyboard Controller 2-9
Calling Camera Salvos
A salvo is a group of camera scenes that can be called for simultaneous display on a contiguous group
of monitors. Salvos are programmed by the system administrator through S³ software.
To call a salvo:
1) Enter the number of the first (lowest numbered) monitor in the salvo group on the numeric keypad.
2) Press the MONITOR key in the keyboard’s monitor section. The number will appear in the monitor
display.
3) Enter the salvo number (1-64) on the keyboard’s numeric keypad.
4) Press the SALVO key in the keyboard’s CAMERA section. The salvo will appear on the appropriate
monitor group.
The on-screen status line of each monitor displaying a salvo camera scene shows the word “SALVO”. If
a salvo is called in response to a system alarm, the first monitor of the group will display the word
“ALARM” on the status line. The remaining monitors in the alarm salvo group will display the word
“SALVO” in the status line.
Acknowledging Alarms
System cameras in the AD168 system are associated with alarm contacts connected to key security
points under camera view. If an alarm is activated, the camera scene associated with the alarm will
appear on a system monitor or monitors that are armed for alarm display (alarm contacts are associated
with specific monitors through S³ system setup software). When the alarm camera scene appears on the
monitor screen, the word “ALARM” appears on the monitor’s on-screen status line. If an alarm title has
been programmed by the system administrator, the alarm title will appear in the alarm title area.
Some system monitors are armed for automatic or delayed automatic clearance. Monitors armed for
manual clearance (acknowledgment) can be cleared from a keyboard controller.
To acknowledge an alarm:
1) Call the monitor that is displaying the alarm video.
2) Press the ACK key in the keyboard’s CAMERA section.
To acknowledge an alarm salvo
1) Call the first (lowest numbered) monitor in the alarm group.
2) Press the ACK key.
If a monitor is cycling through a sequence of multiple alarm scenes:
1) Hold on or step to (press NEXT or LAST) the first alarm to be cleared.
2) Press the ACK key.
3) Repeat steps 1) and 2) for each alarm in the sequence
To acknowledge a wired set:
If a wired set (see Glossary) is associated with an alarm contact, call the monitor associated with the
alarm contact and press ACK to clear the alarm. All alarms in the wired set are cleared when this alarm
is cleared.
