Chapter 4 — Setup
THE SETUP MENU
SYSTEM
Simplex features can be configured to suit the requirements of
most video installations. A convenient system of on-screen
menus allows you to set up key features such as time and date,
alarm message display, alarm message latch, video loss alarm,
alarm input polarity, alarm output polarity, display record sta-
tus, quad record option (four-camera units only), image ten-
derizer, VCR record time, VCR alarm record time, alarm dura-
tion, global dwell, camera titles, motion detection and system
security. All setup data is stored in nonvolatile memory where
it is protected against loss because of power failure.
NOTE: To perform system setup, you must first gain access to
the on-screen menu system. Refer to Security Mea-
sures for instructions.
Once inside the menu system, setup involves three basic
operations:
1. Selecting the menu.
2. Positioning the flashing highlight.
3. Setting the option.
Selecting a Menu
Press the VCR VIEW button to go to the next setup menu. The
next menu appears with the flashing highlight at the first op-
tion. You can only go forward through the setup menus. If
you press the VCR VIEW button at the last menu (SECURITY
LOCK), the Simplex exits the setup mode and returns to nor-
mal operation.
Positioning the Highlight
Press the right arrow to move the highlight to the next option.
Press the left arrow to move the highlight to the previous op-
tion. When you reach one end of the menu, the highlight goes
to the other end.
Setting an Option
Press the up or down arrow to move through the available
values or characters (0–9, A–Z, :, /, +, - or space). When you
reach the last character, the sequence begins again.
Some menu options toggle between two values. Press the up or
down arrow to change the value under the flashing highlight.
