CONTENTS MAIN FEATURES
This product is to be connected to the RS-485 control
terminal of Sanyo multiplexers, timelapse VCRs, cameras
and digital video recorders. It can operate a maximum of 128
of each device, to a maximum of 256 devices in total. Up to a
maximum of five VSP-8000s can be connected together.
Individual operation by addresses
•You can operate individual devices by specifying their
address and using the command buttons or call-up
commands of the VSP-8000.
•When you set the address for a device, you can also give it a
title.
•The status of each device can be displayed on the menu
screen of the VSP-8000.
Group operation
•The VSP-8000 allows the setting of up to 15 groups. This
enables the simultaneous operation of all the devices
registered together in one group.
•In addition to simultaneous operation of all devices in a
group, simultaneous operation of a category of devices is
possible by specifying either multiplexers, timelapse VCRs,
cameras or digital video recorders.
•By logging the same peripheral device in multiple groups, the
same operation can be performed at the same time.
If an alarm is tripped or the operating status of a device
changes, the alarm or status lamp on the VSP-8000 will start
flashing. The date, time, and status at the time of the event
are logged individually up to maximum of 100 events.
Security features
•A secret number can be set as a security lock for each device.
•Set one VSP-8000 as the master controller for setting the
simple lock for each device on the system. Also, if you use
the timer setting on the VSP-8000, you can have the timer
lock activate at set time periods.
•By issuing commands with the VSP-8000, you can activate
the security locks for each device. Therefore, you can lock
the operations of any device on the system.
Upload/Download menu settings*
You can upload menu data from the specified device to the
VSP-8000, and download it collectively to other devices.
Transfer date/time information*
You can download to a device that will use the data for the
date/time specified with the VSP-8000 and specify a
date/time collectively.

The controller will sound a built-in buzzer when certain
conditions arise, such as a triggered alarm for a connected
device or a change of operational status in a connected
device.
