Claims10
An indicator control system with a camera section comprising:
- an indicator for selectively switching, by an input switching means, from a measurement value display mode for showing measurement data of an object of a construction machine to a camera display mode of a camera section mounted on the construction machine and vice versa and for displaying a selected mode on a monitor section;
- an alarm section for generating an alarm, which is provided at a place different from the monitor section on the indicator;
- an alarm judging means for judging whether or not measurement data of the object to be monitored corresponds to a predetermined alarm standard;
- and an alarm control means for activating the alarm section when the alarm judging means judges that the alarm is necessary;
- wherein the alarm control means preliminarily sets, for the object to be monitored which it is judged an alarm is necessary for, different alarm patterns between the measurement value display mode and the camera display mode;
- wherein the monitor section displays an image data indicative of an alarm and the alarm section displays a predetermined alarm pattern by means of blinking or sound when the monitor section is in the measurement value display mode;
- and wherein the monitor section keeps a camera display mode and the alarm section displays an alarm pattern by means of blinking or sound which is different from that of the alarm pattern displayed in the measurement value display mode when the monitor section is in the camera display mode.
