The Control Box allows the user to control the Observation System from another location or through a PC. With the right additional equipment, this accessory allows the user to perform most functions of the Observation system (switching to other camera or view mode, action command etc.). In addition, it has a local standard video and audio output from the system monitor, and provides a local alarm relay output. Applications include remote video transmission and system control (specific third party equipment needed) and PC control of system modes. Installation Remark: When the system configuration is altered, the system monitor needs to check and memorise the configuration of the cameras and accessories connected to its inputs. This is done automatically when the power is switched on. Use the power switch to switch off; only operating the power save key is not sufficient. If switching off is impracticable, use the auto install option of the system monitor's install menu. Power on sequence: First power on the control box and then the Observation System. 5
Mounting the box 1 Loosen the screw holding the cover and remove the cover. 2 Remove the circuit board 3 Fasten the bottom plate of the box with two screws. Fit the circuit board. 5 IMPORTANT: Adjust the settings of the circuit board switches to configure the box according to your system. See section 'settings'. 6 Fit the cover and secure the screw holding it. 7 Now make the connections. See section 'possible configurations' for the correct connections and the setting of the internal 'slide switches'. 6
System cable For the interconnections between the monitor, accessories and camera, a system cable is supplied. For an optimum picture and sound quality, you should always use -wire dual twisted-pair cable when extending the connection (max. 300m/900ft). The cable and plugs are available in the hobby and professional trade. Fix the connectors to the cable corresponding to the figure below. 235 235 5 3 2 2-3 -5 3 5 2-5 2-3 Caution: The plugs used for the observation system have the same dimensions as standard telephone plugs. Never connect the security system with telephone equipment! External power supply The box needs to be powered locally with a mains power supply which is included in the product. 7

Colour Observation Monitor Possible configurations This section shows the system configurations which are possible with the Control Box. 1. Remote video transmission with control capabilities (third party equipement needed) The Observation System can be connected to a video transmission unit for off-site viewing of the system video. When using the Control Box with selected third party video transmission equipement, the Observation System can also be controlled from the remote site, allowing the user to switch to different cameras and perform local actions like opening doors. Remark: For this application the video transmission unit needs to support the Philips Control Protocol. Observation System Control Box System cable Local audio and video Third party video transmission product Alarm Network Multimedia PC with modem 2. Using PC as slave monitor with control capabilities (third party software needed) The Observation System can connect directly to a PC for control and display. The interface of the Control Box can connect to the serial port of a PC for control of the Observation System. For also displaying the system video on the PC, a PC with a analogue video input (video grabber board) is needed. When the appropriate software is loaded on the PC, the video and audio of the Observation System can be shown on the screen and the functionality of the system can be partly controlled. Remark: For this application specific third party software is needed 9

Additional alarm output with short activation time The Observation System has an alarm output (on the back of the monitor) with a long activation time (typically 15 minutes, see system user manual). For some applications this can be too long. The alarm output activation time of the Control Box is 30 seconds, solving the problem in most cases.

Connecting a standard monitor as slave monitor Using the video and audio outputs on the Control Box, a standard video monitor or TV can be used as a slave monitor output, while still having the advantage of using the system cable to cover large distances.
