Section 2 — Installation

Frame Alarm Connector

Use of the Frame Alarm requires the presence of either the Frame Monitor
or 8900NET Network Interface module in the frame. Frame Monitor
module features are discussed in Section 4-Monitoring and Control in this
manual. For information on the 8900NET module see the 8900 Network
Interface Module Instruction Manual.

The Frame Alarm is accessed through pins 8 and 9 of the RS-232 DB-9 con-
nector (Video Frame – J102, Audio Frame – J7) as shown in

Figure 13

. Refer

to Frame Alarm Example

on page 32

for using the port in an alarm circuit.

Note

Earlier model 8900 frames had a SMPTE ALARM BNC for accessing the
Frame Alarm output. Refer to SMPTE Alarm Connector

on page 46

for cabling

information on older frames.
