3.7 Alarm Inputs
Unlike other equipment, which typically has statically assigned alarm input to video relationships
(i.e. alarm input 1 always related to video channel 1, alarm input 2 always related to video
channel 2, etc), FastTrace-R can be programmed so that any one or group of alarm inputs can
trigger any one or group of cameras. This allows much more flexibility within system designs and
configurations.
The FastTrace-R Model 5020 has thirty external alarm inputs, all with selectable tamper
detection configurations (Model 5010 has twenty). The camera setup options can be
programmed to trigger an alarm on detection of either a closed contact or an open contact
condition on an alarm input. Alarm inputs are normally connected to alarm sensors such as door
switches, passive infrared detectors, microwave detectors, vibration sensors, electric field
detectors, etc.
In addition to this, alarm inputs can also be programmed as being one of six states to allow for
tamper detection on circuits. Alarm types can be:
• Normally Open - No End Of Line (NEOL) Resistor
• Normally Closed - NEOL
• Normally Open - Single End Of Line (SEOL) Resistor
• Normally Closed - SEOL
• Normally Open - Dual End Of Line (DEOL) Resistor
• Normally Closed - Dual End Of Line Resistor
Alarm inputs to the FastTrace-R are presented on screw terminals on the rear of the unit and
each circuit can be individually assigned as one of the above six types (i.e. a combination may
be used, you do not have to program them all the same way).
Alarm inputs are relative to ground (chassis) of the FastTrace-R.
