PATTERNS NOTE: The Spectra II LowLight Color camera cannot do electronic zoom in a pattern. Optical zoom will operate in a pattern. The Spectra II dome can do either one full pattern (1.5, 3, or 6 minutes long) or two half patterns (.75, 1.5, or 3 minutes long). This pattern can consist of any standard pan and tilt or lens command. Presets, flip, and turbo are not allowed in a pattern. Zone scan can be enabled while running a pattern.
AUXILIARY OUTPUTS An AUX 1 command from the controller will activate the relay in the dome and operate the device that is connected to the relay. The relay will remain latched until a clear command is issued. An AUX 2 command from the controller will place a ground at the output of AUX 2 to operate the device that is connected to it. The output will remain latched until a clear command is issued. The output relay can also be programmed so that it is activated when any alarm input is activated.
