Calling up presets from a keypad
Most keypads have a limited number of preset numbers they can call. If you have a GE KTD-405 keypad with
firmware version 1.2.09 or later, then you can call up all 127 preset numbers (1 through 127) directly from the
keypad. If, however, you have a GE KTD-405 keypad with an earlier version of firmware, then you can use the
keypad to call up only the first 63 preset numbers (1 through 63). If you are using presets 62 and 63 for your
left and right autopan limits, then you have a total of 125 or 61 preset numbers that you can call up from the
keypad.
To verify your keypad’s version, press and hold the mon key on the keypad, until the keypad beeps, then press
the >> key.
To create presets, see Presets screen ( Actions | Presets ) on page 29.
To create tours, see ShadowTours screen ( Actions | ShadowTours ) on page 38.
To create macros, see Macros screen ( Actions | Macros ) on page 40.
To remap presets, tours, and macros, see Command Map screen ( Control | Command Map ) on page 54.
To use the KTD-405 keypad, see KTD-405 Controller Keypad User Manual (1036547).
Interrelationship between the Exposure and Day/Night features
The Day/Night feature works only if the Exposure feature is set to Auto or Return to auto. Two conditions can
prevent the camera from switching between the color and monochrome modes according the Day/Night
setting. One, if you’ve overridden the Auto Exposure setting with manual commands from the keypad. Two, if
you’ve called a preset (or a command containing a preset) that is programmed to override the Auto Exposure
setting.
In the second scenario, the camera returns to the Auto Exposure setting after you leave the preset. In the first
scenario, you must issue a command to return to the Auto Exposure setting. Using the iris key on the keypad
manually adjusts the camera’s iris setting or shutter speed, overriding the Auto Exposure setting. You must
issue a pan or tilt command from the keypad to leave the manual override and return to the Auto Exposure
setting. While you remain in the manual override, the color and monochrome modes of the Day/Night setting
will not switch according to the changes in the lighting conditions.
