Click the [Alarm] tab on the “Alarm” page. (→9.1 How to display the setup menu, 9.2 How to operate the setup menu)
The settings relating to the alarm output terminal can be configured in this section.
Alarm output terminal setup
In order to be able to configure “Alarm output terminal setup”, “Alarm output” must be selected for [Terminal 2] of the [Alarm] setting.
[Alarm output trigger]
Select “On” or “Off” to determine whether or not to output the alarm signals to the alarm output terminal when an alarm is detected.
•
Default: Off
[SD memory card error]
Select On or Off to determine whether or not to output signals from the alarm output terminal when an error is detected for the SD memory card.
SD memory card error condition: SD memory card error (write error, read error, etc), Total use time over 6 years, and number of overwrites over 2000 times
•
On: When an error status is detected, the signals from an alarm output terminal is outputted and the “Alarm occurrence indication” button on the “Live” page blinks.
•
Off: Deactivates the warning status detection.
•
Default: Off
IMPORTANT
•
In order to be able to correctly use this function, format the SD memory card with the camera before using it.
Note
•
The total service time of 6 years is the total power-on time from the SD card being inserted. 2000 cycles are the upper limit overwrite counts of the industrial SD memory card (MLC type).These are typical values and not a guarantee of the SD card lifetime.
•
The alarm output terminal and the SD memory card errors use the same alarm output terminal.
•
A signal is outputted to the alarm output terminal when either an alarm or SD memory card error occurs.
•
When an SD memory card error is detected, the “Alarm occurrence indication” button on the “Live” page blinks. If you click on the “Alarm occurrence indication” button, the button will be hidden.
•
Output signals from the alarm output terminal for [SD memory card error] differ depending on the settings of [Alarm output type].
–
When “Latch” is selected: Even after you click the “Alarm occurrence indication” button and it disappears, output signals from the alarm output terminal will continue as long as the cause of the [SD memory card error] is not resolved.
–
When “Pulse” is selected: Even after you click the “Alarm occurrence indication” button and it disappears, output signals from the alarm output terminal will continue as long as the cause of the [SD memory card error] is not resolved. However, if the time period specified for [Pulse width] is exceeded, output signals from the alarm output terminal will be stopped.
[Alarm output type]
Select “Latch” or “Pulse” for the alarm output terminal at an alarm occurrence.
•
Latch: When an alarm is detected, the alarm output terminal will be in the state selected for “Trigger output” until the alarm occurrence indication button is clicked.
•
Pulse: When an alarm is detected, the alarm output terminal will be in the state to the “Trigger output” setting for the period set for “Pulse width”. When the alarm occurrence indication button is clicked, the alarm output terminal will return to the normal state.
•
