Red Light, Green Light, and the 3212-2000 Camera

Issue:

There are 2 alarm outputs on the 3212-2000. The alarm outputs need to be configured to turn green for normal temperatures and red for anyone with a temperature over the set threshold.

Prerequisites:

• The camera must be powered on and connected to the network.
• The camera must have firmware version v3.6.0825.1004.75.0.20.0.4_20200610 or newer.
• The green light must be wired to Alarm Output 1.
• The red light must be wired to Alarm Output 2.
• The camera must be set up and functioning properly.

Resolution:

This walk-through will cover the following sections:

• Alarm Output Setup
• Normal Temperature Alarm Setup
• High-Temperature Alarm Limit Setup

1. Navigate and log into the web interface of the camera.
   
   
   
   
2. Click the Configuration tab.
   
   
   
   
3. Navigate to Alarm > Alarm Output.
   
   
   
   
4. Configure Alarm Output 1 (green light) as follows:
   • Name: Normal Temp
   • Valid Signal:  Close (this tells the camera when an alarm output is activated to either open or close the circuit).
   • Alarm Output Mode: Switch Mode
   • Alarm Time: 1500
     • Specify the time in milliseconds you want the light to stay on.
     • We recommend 3600.  This will leave the light on for 3.6 seconds.
     • 0 will leave the light on permanently.
   • Timing Alarm Output: Off
   • Manual Control: Used for testing to verify you wired the light correctly.
     • Manually trigger the alarm output by clicking Start.
     • Click Stop when finished.
   • Click Apply.
   • An example of how Alarm Output 1 should be configured is below. Repeat Step 4 for Alarm Output 2 (red light).
     
     
5. Click Temperature Measurement > Normal Temperature Alarm.
   
   
   
   
6. Configure it as follows.
   • Enable: ON.
   • Output Channel: Put a checkmark next to 1.
   • Leave the next 3 options defaulted.
   • Apply a schedule by clicking and dragging it across the times you want it active.
   • Click Apply.
     
     
     
     
7. Click High-Temperature Alarm.
   
   
   
   
8. Configure it as follows:
   • Enable: ON.
   • Output Channel: Put a checkmark next to 2.
   • Leave the next 3 options defaulted.
   • Apply a schedule by clicking and dragging it across the times you want it active.
