[. . . ] The front panel is smoked acrylic through which a series of LED's light to indicate either INTERMISSION, RUNNING, or FILM BREAK. The front panel is available in either a horizontal or vertical mounting configuration. A UL listed power pack and UL listed flush mount metal enclosure is provided for the Status Panel. During a film break, a Red LED flashes and an audible alarm sounds to alert the cinema staff to the break. The audible alarm sounds for either 5 seconds or 10 seconds (alarm time is set by the installer). The wiring interface is extremely simple consisting of only a 4 conductor + shield cable (such as Belden 8723). Specifications The Watchdog Cinema Status Panel is a microcontroller based indicator panel which monitors the show status of multiple cinemas.

For 220 VAC to 240 VAC INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL INSTALLATION Initial The first step in the installation process is to determine the locations where the Status Panels will be mounted. After this has been done, remove the 4 thumbscrews that attach the front panels to the metal enclosures, and set the front panels aside. The metal enclosures must be placed into cutouts in the wall using standard practices for mounting electrical enclosures, and an electrician must provide 120 VAC service to the duplex outlets located inside the metal enclosures. The box may also be surface mounted if desired, but this does not provide very good cosmetics and should be avoided if possible. When the metal enclosure is installed, the outlet box inside the enclosure must be located to the right if horizontally mounted or to the bottom if vertically mounted. If this is not done properly, the panel will not fit in the enclosure. Only ONE of the Status Panels can be set as Master, and the others must be set as Slaves. Up is Master Mode (factory setting) The second option is the timer for the audible alarm. This option is reserved for future use with other automation systems (such as the Panalogic) or computerized theatre information systems. [. . . ] The Watchdog normally ships with the horizontal panels in place if both panel types have been ordered. If vertical FIGURE 2 Data Connection Terminals Page 6 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Data Cable Routing and Connections PLEASE NOTE: It is necessary to minimize the total length of wiring between all Watchdog Panels and Showmation boards. If there is too much total cable length which causes the cable capacitance to rise too high, then the system will cease working. [. . . ]
