NOTE
• You cannot assign the same function to different pin terminals.
• The TRIG. (trigger) system switches each function by short-circuiting for approx. 1 second.
This is a female terminal.
Operation
1. Short-circuit the 6th pin terminal (External control) to the 8th pin terminal (GND) so that the monitor can
be controlled by the external control.
2. Set “CNT. RJ45 IN” of“REMOTE SYSTEM”to “MAKE” or “TRIG.” on the set-up menu.
3. When selecting “MAKE” (make contact) system:
Operate each function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to the 8th pin terminal (GND) or
opening it.
When selecting “TRIG.” (trigger) system:
Operate each function by Pulse control, that is short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to the 8th
pin terminal (GND) for about 1 second.
NOTE
• When controlling INP. A/B/C/D/E/F, only one terminal must be short-circuited. (Other terminals must be opened.)
• When switching PIP and PBP modes, open the mode which has been shortcircuited before shortcircuiting the mode you want to make
valid.
• When selecting the “TRIG.” (trigger) system, you can operate only one function at a time. Operate the functions one by one.
