II) SYSTEM FLOORPLAN

Please refer to the following diagrams for the system connections.

Note: Monitor and Camera must be purchased separately.

Diagram 2.1

2.1 Basic Wiring Instructions

Please refer to diagram 2.1 to assist you with this portion of the installation.

1.Power

Connect the power source or adapter into the power socket.

2.Cameras

Connect each cameras video output to the video inputs on the digital video recorder.

Note: At least one camera must be connected before the system is running for the auto detection of video standard to take effect.

3.Audio Input

The camera audio output or Microphone is connected to the audio input terminal at the rear panel.

4.Audio Output

Connect the speaker or other audio listening devices to the audio output terminal on the back of the digital video recorder.

5.Ethernet

The digital video recorder may be viewed from a PC via the LAN connector using a RJ45 Ethernet cable.

6.RS485

The digital video recorder can be controlled from an EKB500 keyboard via RS485.

Note: This can be done using a RJ45-to-serial cable.

7.Main Monitor

Connect a monitor to the main monitor output connector. The main monitor displays live or recorded cameras in any available format.

Note: The main monitor must be connected in order to make configuration changes, enter the main menu, or do a playback at the machine.

8.Call Monitors

Connect the call monitor output connectors to a call monitor. The call monitor display selected live cameras in full screen format.

Note: The call monitor will only display one full screen camera at a time.

2.2 Hard Disk Drive Installation

The first step in installing the hard drive is to insert the hard drive sleeve into the machine. The hard disk drive default setting is initially set to master. The second step is to insert the key provided and turn the tray key to the lock position. If this process is ignored the hard disk drive will not be detected.

Note: If the Hard Disk Drive is not locked in with the key, HDD LED will not light up and the DVR will not go into record mode. This is because the Hard Drive is not being recognized.

Note: After powering on the DVR, it will start to load system. It takes a while to complete loading system, during this time, please do not install or remove the hard disk. No action is recommended while the machine is loading system.

Diagram 2.2 shows 3.5“ Hard Drive

2.3 Final Install Process

Once you have completed the basic wiring installation and the hard disk drive installation you are ready to turn on the DVR. Simply plug the power source you installed earlier. The POWER LED lights will light up if power is normal. The next step is to set up the menu options for the DVR.
