• Unit maintains camera synchronization.

• Ease of installation saves time and
eliminates costly labor.

Enclosure Dimensions (H x W x D approx.):

• Sav4D, Sav9D, and Sav18D:

8.5” x 7.5” x 3.5” (215.9mm x 190.5mm x 88.9mm).

• Sav182D and Sav36D:

13.5” x 13” x 3.25” (342.9mm x 330.2mm x 82.55mm).

Installation Instructions:

This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to all local codes and in accordance
with the National Electrical Code. Product is intended for indoor use only.

1. Mount unit in the desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the
enclosure. Install two upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure’s
upper keyholes over the two upper screws, level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two holes. Remove the
enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install two fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two
upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pgs. 11-12).

2. SAV4D, SAV9D and SAV18D:
Connect unswitched AC power 115VAC, 60 Hz / 230VAC, 50 Hz to
the removable terminals marked [L, G, N] (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
SAV182D and SAV36D:
Connect unswitched AC power 115VAC, 60 Hz / 230VAC, 50 Hz to black and white
flying leads, which are factory installed. Connect main incoming ground to the provided
green grounding conductor lead.
To install 3-wire line cord with integral strain relief (supplied) refer to pages 9 and 10.

3. Unit is factory set at 12VDC. To adjust output voltage use the trimpot
(Fig. 2a pg. 4, 3a pg. 5, 4a pg. 6, 5a pg. 7, 6a, pg. 8) on the power supply board(s),
connect digital volt meter to the terminals marked [OUT1 to OUT18] and slowly
turn trimpot clockwise to increase voltage or counter clockwise to decrease voltage.
Note: Voltage will be the same for all outputs.

4. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.

5. Connect cameras to be powered to the terminals marked [OUT1] through [OUT4] (Sav4D) (Fig. 2, pg. 4), [OUT1]
through [OUT9] (Sav9D) (Fig. 3, pg. 5), [OUT1] through [OUT18] (Sav18D) (Fig. 4, pg. 6), [OUT1] through
[OUT9] on each power supply board (Sav182D) (Fig. 5, pg. 7), [OUT1] through [OUT18] on each power supply
board (Sav36D) (Fig. 6, pg. 8), carefully observing correct polarity.

6. Upon completion of wiring, secure enclosure door with screws (supplied).
Caution: Equipment to be installed/serviced by authorized/trained personnel only and should conform to all

local codes and in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Shut branch circuit power before
installing/servicing equipment.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Use 75˚C or higher rated UL insulated wiring for connecting the unit to the mains.

Maintenance:

Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions, the DC output voltage should be checked for proper voltage level.
