Each time Flashback is pressed thereafter, the ACUIX toggles between Presets 2 and 3
until the ACUIX is manually controlled. After manual control, the flashback feature returns
to normal operation. The next time Flashback is pressed, the current scene (Scene D) is
stored and the ACUIX returns to the last Flashback scene (in this case, Scene A) prior to
the start of the Preset Tour. Once at Scene A, if Flashback is pressed, the ACUIX goes back
to Scene D.
The NightShot feature is only available on ACUIX units with cameras that have a removable
IR block filter. These cameras are often referred to as true day/night (TDN) cameras. When
the IR block filter is removed (NightShot on), the camera sensitivity for viewing dark scenes
is increased and the video is converted to black and white.
Note NightShot mode must be set to manual in the setup menus to control it from
the controller.
To toggle between standard operation and NightShot mode:
Press Run Menu continuously until NightShot displays on the controller's LCD.
1.
2. Press Enter.
A message (NightShot On or NightShot Off) displays on the monitor where the ACUIX
video is viewed.
The NightShot mode can also be toggled on and off using Preset 99. Refer to
Presets on page 41 for more information on sending the ACUIX to a Preset.
The ACUIX has 4 alarm inputs that can be configured as normally open or closed. If the
contact deviates from normal, an alarm occurs. The ACUIX can be programmed (through
the on-screen setup menus) to activate a Preset, a Preset Tour, or Mimic Tour in response
to an alarm. Refer to Program
more information on programming alarms.
The alarms are sampled 16 times per second. After the alarm has been activated, the ACUIX
determines if a function has been programmed for that alarm, and if that alarm is enabled.
If either of those conditions are not met, the alarm will be discarded. If both conditions are
met, the alarm is considered triggered. If no other alarm is in service, the alarm is serviced.
The function assigned to the alarm is performed. The ACUIX stays in this alarm state until
the alarm is acknowledged. Any additional alarms that are triggered are not serviced until
the first alarm is acknowledged. If there is more than one alarm waiting to be serviced, they
are serviced in order of alarm number, starting with the lowest.
An alarm cannot be reactivated until it has been both acknowledged, and the contact
returned to normal. After acknowledgment and the contact change of state, the cycle can
begin again.
