What is Electrostatic Discharge?
Atransfer of electrostatic charges between bodies at
different electrostatic potentials caused by direct contact or
induced by an electrostatic field. The following are some
examples of electrostatic charges:
1. Walking across a nylon carpet on a dry day generates a
static electrical charge of 35,000 volts.
2. Opening a plastic bag generates a charge of 20,000 volts.
WARNING: Do not make repairs
yourself. Do Not attempt to remove
the cover to the CrystalVue™. Do
Not disassemble it or remove any
parts.You run the risk of electric
shock and voiding the warranty. No
user-serviceable parts are inside.

6. FLASH MEMORY AND MOTION DETECTION
6.1 Activate the Internal Card reader Video
1. If the unit is supplied with an Internal Card Reader insert a SD memory card with a base line JPG image in its root
directory to activate the image on the card press play on the Remote Control. The unit will automatically display the JPG
image.
2. If more than one JPG is on the card, the PVD will display a slide show rotating through all supplied JPG images.
6.2 Adjust the Motion Sensor Orientation
1. To make any needed adjustments to the Motion Sensor (PIR) access the back panel of the PVD by unscrewing the two
thumb screws.
2. The motion sensor is located to the far left side of the panel as you are facing the back of the PVD. See Figure 3.
3. Adjustments can be made to the Sensor by rotating the adjustment wheel in either direction by moving it clockwise or
counter clockwise. The sensor can also be moved in an up and down orientation by unscrewing slightly the steering yoke
and sliding the senor up or down then retightening.
4. The standard PIR detects motion by sensing left to right or right to left in a horizontal fashion. To change the orientation of
the sensor simply begin adjustments as explained in step 3 until the sensor begins to detect in the field of view desirable.
5. The following chart may be helpful when determining the pattern of movement most desirable for the area the PVD is
installed in.

7. INTERNAL CONTROL BOARD
7.1 Control Board Configurations and Option Switches
The Control Board is a microprocessor-based circuit that controls the on-board sensors and the video switcher. The main
purpose of this switcher is to select the Main Video settings to be displayed on screen and then switch the video to either
Light Sensor, Motion Sensor or Switcher Video settings. It may also be directed to ignore the sensors and select one or both
of the Main Video or Switcher Video settings at settable dwell rates.
Verify the operations of the Control Board
1. Located on the control board are the Control Board LED’s. See Figure 4 .
2. Verify that the “Power LED” is Green signifying the PVD is on.
3. The “System Pulse LED” will be dull red showing the control board is running.
4. The “Camera On LED” is lit when the motion detection is selected and off when the auxiliary input is selected.
