PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Before permanent installation, we recom-
mend that you test your entire system in one
room on a table or floor. This will be of great
benefit in troubleshooting if you should have
any problem after installing the system.
1.1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Onceconnected,theunitwilloperatewithout
furthur user intervention. It is recommended
to test each unit before permanent installation
by following the instructions below.
1.2 TEST UNIT PROCESSOR
Connect the power/signal cable from the
keypad to the power input on the top right
of the unit. Turn on the keypad power. The
power light on the model 190 should begin to
flash. The video light should be lit (to indicate
no video signal).
1.3 TEST UNIT VIDEO PROCESSOR
Connect a RCAcable from the video out jack
to the video in of a TV. You should see a blue
screen. Enter some numbers into the keypad.
The numbers should display in one corner of
the screen
1.4 TEST EXTERNAL VIDEO SIGNAL
Connect an unmodulated video signal to
the video in jack. If no video appears on the
TV, make sure a proper signal is supplied. If
video can be seen but the numbers jump on the
screen, the video signal is weak. Aweak signal
can be boosted by a video amplifier. Note a
typical vcr tends to boost and stabilize a weak
video signal.
1.4 TEST EXTERNAL BUTTON
Connect a doorbell button to the top two
inputs of the auxiliary input terminal (located
on the left of the unit). Pressing the button
should cause the number position to move to
one of the four corners of the screen.
Microframe Corporation Series 190 Visual Pager
2.1 UNIT INSTALLATION
2.2 TV Signal
Connect an RCA cable from the video out
connector, located on the bottom right of the
unit, to the video in of your TV. Use another
RCA cable to connect the video in connector,
located next to the video out connector, to
a standard unmodulated video signal. One
common example of this is the video output
of a VCR.
2.3 Power/ Keypad signal
The RCA cable from your keypad or display
carries both power and signals. It is imperative
that it is only connected to the power input.
Connection of the power cable to either video
input will likely destroy the unit. Connect the
9x0 power/signal cable to the power input on
the top right of the unit.
2.4 Power-up
Once power is applied to the unit (by turning
on the keypad driver) is will generate a video
output. If no signal is present at the video in-
put, it will generate a blue screen. Otherwise
it will pass the video through to the TV.
2.5 Con!guration
Themodebuttonallowstheusertoadjustthe
horizontal and vertical offset of the numbers on
the screen. This is done by pressing the mode
button, then using the plus and minus buttons
to adjust the setting. When done press the mode
button until the display is cleared.
INSTALLATION PRO-
CEDURES
OPERATION
3.1 Changing the Number Position
As a convenience to the viewer, an auxiliary input
button is provided. This allows the viewer to move the
number position to any of the four corners of the screen.
Thus if the number is covering a football score, it can
be moved to another part of the screen by pressing the
included button. Using additional cable, this button can
be run to a convenient location in the establishment.
3.2 Changing the Number Offset
The distance of the number from the edge of the screen
can be adjusted using the mode button. Press the mode
button once to activate the horizontal position adjust-
ment. Use the plus '+' and minus '-' buttons to adjust
the position. Press the mode button again to adjust the
vertical position. Press the mode button a third time to
return to normal operation.
3.3 Status Lights
There are two lights visible on the top of the case.
The video signal indicator lights when there is no video
signal detected. The power light flashes under normal
operation.
FAQ's
Q: Why can't I use just one unit for all my TV's?
A: The Model 190 does not have a built in tuner. It
requires an unmodulated video signal, such as the video
out from a VCR. Since the video signal is tuned to one
channel before being fed to the unit, it can only operate
on that particular video feed. Thus, a unit is required
for every video feed to a TV or bank of TV's.

STEP 3:
Insert Black Wire in one of the
terminals marked GND.
Insert Red Wire in one of the
terminals marked SIG.
Tighten terminal screws using a
1/8" slotted screwdriver.
STEP 4 (If required):
If a second set of wires are
required at the Keypad,
repeat Step 3 being careful
not to reverse the SIG and
GND connections.
STEP 2:
Remove 1.5" insulation from cable
jacket and separate wires.
Strip 1/4" insulation from each wire
and pre-form wires as shown.
STEP 5:
Install slide-on cover being careful
to !rst form wires so the Ty-wrap is
inside the case as shown. The slide-
on cover has a notch for the wires to
