Chapter 1, SCQ-041P Overview
Overview
The SCQ-041P provides a quarter screen display feature on a monitor
screen by reducing and composing the individual image produced by
inputting four video image signals, such as a CCTV camera. The SCQ-
041P displays a maximum of eight alpha-numeric characters in
corresponding to the title of the channel on the connected monitor
screen. The SCQ-041P also provides other various features, such as
time display, external alarm signal, and remote control for wide system
service.

Features and Characteristics
The SCQ-041P’s features and characteristics are as follows:
• If you press “SETUP” button, located on the front of the SCQ-041P,
the various menu-type system setting modes can be easily found and
used.
• You can connect a maximum of four color or black & white cameras.
• You can convert the quarter screen display showing four kinds of
channels to a single screen display and use the automatic switching
feature.
• An adjustable date/time display feature is also provided.
• You can make important scene freeze in quarter screen mode using
“FREEZE” button.
• When an alarm is on, the screen displays the alarm signal and the
relevant channel. If several alarms are on, the screen converts itself
to the quarter screen display feature automatically to control many
channels simultaneously.
• The channel loss feature provides a buzzer sound and displays the
channel loss on the screen.
• You can use the remote control feature by connecting an RS-232C
cable to a PC.
• Because the SCQ-041P uses a free voltage-type power source, you
can use a power supply from AC 100V to 240V.
• When connecting four cameras, we provide a connector containing
75automatic terminal resistance for the purpose of sending
individual signals to the other components without VDA.

Chapter 2, SCQ-041P Installation
Configuration for Installation
This chapter describes the configuration required for the safe
installation and usage of the SCQ-041P.
You can install the SCQ-041P on flat table or rack. This system must be
in horizontal balance and should not be placed on a vertical or slide
setting. The location of the main board and the configuration of the wire
unit component are very important to operate the system properly. If
the components are so close that ventilation is not sufficient, the system
may not work properly or will be difficult to maintain. To reduce risk
leading to system malfunction or shutdown as a result of configuration,
please make sure to allow enough ventilation in the system operating
room and fix the cover of main unit firmly. High-voltage current occurs
in the unit; therefore, please do not try to open the cover.
The SCQ-041P requires the following operating conditions to maintain
temperature and humidity.
• Operating temperature : 32 - 86°F (0 - 40°C)
• Relative humidity : 30% - 90% relative humidity
• Input voltage : AC 100V-240V
• Power of consumption : 10 Watts
• Frequency : 50 Hz/60 Hz
CAUTION
Please supply input power voltage with a variation of less than 10% of the
specific voltage to the system in use. The power plug must be grounded.
Please do not connect other appliances or equipment using the system’s
power outlet. It is recommended to use AVR to supply a stable power source.
If you would use this appliance to supply voltage for 240V, you should be
used the proper plug adapter for 240V rating.
