Alarms
The J101 SMPTE Alarm connector retains the original 8900 system func-
tionality when the Emergency Bypass version of the Frame Monitor 
module is installed. Normal 8900 system faults (P/S failure, fan failure, 
etc.) will trigger the alarm. Also the Bypass Keyer module triggers the 
alarm upon some startup failures. The Bypass Relay module has no alarms. 
See 
page 24
for more information.
Emergency Bypass Relay Module
The Bypass Relay module switches incoming video from normal to bypass 
operation. The toggle switch must be in the center 
Remote
position to allow
remote activation of bypass operation. See
page 27
for more information.
Emergency Bypass Keyer Module
The Bypass Keyer module keys up to two signals over incoming video, and 
provides Program and Preview outputs. The keying can be set for shaped 
or unshaped video (
page 20
). Also see
page 25
for more information.
Emergency Bypass Frame Monitor Module
The Bypass Frame Monitor module provides system control, communica-
tions, and alarm reporting. See 
page 23
for more information.
Note
The Kalypso Emergency Bypass Frame Monitor module is not a standard 
8900 Frame Monitor module. It is specifically designed for use with the 
Kalypso Emergency Bypass system and RS-422 communications with the 
Local Aux panel.
