Welcome Thank you for purchasing Pelco's IPS-RMK, the remote monitor kit designed to assist in the installation and servicing of Spectra III ™ SE/Spectra III, Spectra ® Mini, Esprit®, or ExSite™ systems. Use the remote monitor kit to observe video, verify operation of the PTZ controls, check the address and baud settings, and program the positioning system. Software upgrades can also be performed with Spectra III SE/Spectra III, Spectra Mini, and ExSite systems.
Getting Started Before using the remote monitor kit, do the following: 1. Test the handheld to make sure it is ready for use. 2. Install the batteries for the monitor. TEST THE HANDHELD TO ENSURE IT IS READY FOR USE Batteries and software for the handheld were installed at the factory before the IPS-RMK was shipped. Before using the remote monitor kit check the battery gauge of the handheld to ensure that the batteries are still functioning.
INSTALL THE MONITOR BATTERIES The battery pack located on the back of the monitor holds 8 AA or 10 NiCad rechargeable batteries (batteries not included). To install the batteries, do the following: 1. Remove the mointor from the monitor compartment of the IPS-RMK (refer to Figure 1). 2. Press the tab located on the bottom of the battery pack of the monitor (refer to Figure 2). 3. Gently lift the battery back. 4. Install batteries. 5. Set the battery selection switch (refer to Figure 3). 6.
How to Assemble the Remote Monitor Kit Refer to Figure 4 for the following steps. Lift the handheld compartment. Open the bottom flap of the cable pouch. Pull the serial cable for the handheld out through the bottom of the pouch and connect to the bottom of the handheld. Secure excess cable and place back into pouch. Open the top flap of the cable pouch. Pull the BNC connector out through the top of the pouch. Connect to the VIDEO IN connector located on the top of the monitor.
Refer to Figure 5 for the following steps. Open the monitor compartment. Connect the top flap to the side flap. This will reduce the glare of the sun on the monitor when using the kit outdoors. This step is not required if there is no glare on the monitor. Fold the loose part of the bottom flap under and attach to the Velcro®. Open the handheld compartment. Attach the two side Velcro strips to the Velcro strips on the monitor compartment. This will support the handheld during use.
