Operation and Programming
Art. 1259C can be used to manage analogue CCTV cameras (up to 3).
Art. 1259C can be used in systems with Art. 4888C in the SB1 section (running from the mixer power supply unit towards the
external units).
√With monitor on
fPress the programmed key to cycle through all connected cameras, in accordance with the diagram below. Sequential
switching can also be activated using a clean contact (C-NO) connected to the INA – GND input.

GENERIC OR CODED ACTUATOR MODE
MODE WITH AUDIO PORTER OR SWITCHBOARD
In this mode and with the door entry phone monitor switched on, it is possible to cycle through all the connected cameras by
repeatedly pressing the button programmed as “generic actuator”.
fMicroswitch “S1” must be set as illustrated below.
fSet the number of cameras connected using dip switches 7 and 8, as shown in the table below:

2. Coded actuator mode
3. Mode with external audio unit
Before programming the module, see “5. Compatibility table for Art. 1259C”.
In this mode and with the door entry phone monitor switched on, by repeatedly pressing the button programmed as “coded
actuator”, it is possible to cycle through ONLY the cameras connected to Art. 1259C with the corresponding address.
fTo activate the function, program the button on the monitor as coded actuator (with address between 220 and 227
inclusive) and set selector “S1” as illustrated in the table below:
Generic/coded actuator modes can also be used on a system which includes an audio-only external unit Art. 1622.
For operation with “audio only” external unit:
1. set DIP 1 of selector “S1” as illustrated below:
2. set the external unit to video mode as shown in the picture below:

ON DIP
In this mode, every time a call is received from the external unit or when self-ignition takes place, the monitor switches on and
displays the image from the first camera connected to Art. 1259C. It will be possible to cycle through all cameras connected by
repeatedly pressing the programmed button.
Up to 8 modules Art. 1259C with 8 dierent codes can be installed in the same system.

5. Compatibility table for Art. 1259C with 1256 or other 1259C units
Generic/coded actuator modes can also be used on a system which includes Video calls from switchboard.
In this mode, every time a video call is made from the switchboard, the monitor switches on as soon as the handset is lifted (or
the audio button is pressed), and the image displayed will be the one from the first camera connected to Art. 1259C.
At this point, each time a control button is pressed (see generic/coded actuator modes) or each time the manual contact is
closed (available by connecting the INA-GND contact to the OUT-OUT terminals of the switchboard), you will be able to cycle
through all available cameras.
fTo use this function, the remote camera module must be connected to the outgoing Bus line from terminals LM-LM of the
switchboard, and the switchboard set to “Video mode” before the call.
