INSTALLATION
2. INSTALLATION
ATTENTION: The installation should be effected by qualified personnel only. Connect
power source only after having finished the further installation.
2.1 Delivery scope
Check the delivery scope (see 4.) before starting the installation.
2.2 Video connection installation
Sample installation with maximum camera and monitor configuration:
Cameras and monitors have to be cabled with 75 Ohm video cable, e.g. RG-59, RG-12
and suitable BNC plugs.
Due to inappropriate absorbability, 50 Ohm coax cable (e.g. RG58), antenna cable and
further types of coax cable are not suitable.
All connected video sources must provide a 1 Vpp PAL/CCIR standard video signal.
When interconnecting transmission lines (twisted pair, fibre optics, radio) to the video
inputs, ensure the accurate receiver calibration.
The MAIN monitor may optionally be connected through a Y-C (S-Video) cable to achieve
an improved image quality. If the optional VGA-board is installed, MAIN monitor may be
connected by VGA cable.
For local DVR operation, MAIN monitor connection is compulsory. Callmon itor can be
connected optionally.

2.3 RS-485 keyboard installation
All EDR910/1610 functions can be remote-controlled by the EKB 500 universal keyboard.
Using the EEPbus protocol, digital video recorders, keyboards and speed domes can be
installed on one single RS-485 bus. One system can comprise up to 8 keyboards.
2.3.1 General RS-485 bus installation
EKB-500 uses an RS-485 simplex wiring; the signal is transferred via a single twisted
pair line. CAT5 network cable is recommended, UPT version (unshielded) is sufficient for
normal application. A shielded cable should be used if the installed cables are expected to
be highly susceptible to interferences.
The number of devices installed in one bus is limited to 32 (expandable through signal
distributors).
Basically, the bus should be created by serial wiring, star wiring is only permitted using
signal distributors.
Maximum RS-485 bus cable length is 1200 m. Both the first and the last device are
normally 120 Ohm terminated in order to minimize line reflexions.
RS-485 bus serial wiring
Cable length from box to device („Stubs“) has to be limited to 2m using connector box es.
RS-485 bus serial wiring with connector boxes and connection cable
A direct RS-485 bus star wiring is not supported; star wiring requires the use of signal
distributors.
Improper RS-485 bus star wiring
EDR910_1610_ma_en_rev1 00 - 14 -
Page 15
If star wiring is inevitable, EDA 997A RS-485 signal distributors may be used. The
maximum system cable length can also be expanded by using these distributors,
physically providing a new RS-485 bus with 1200 m cable length each at every
distributor output.
Star wiring with RS-485 signal distributor
In case the maximum number of 32 bus participants is exceeded, the number of
connected devices can be increased by using RS-485 distributors. Each distributor output
physically provides one RS-485 bus which enables the additional connection of 31 further
devices (the distributor output represents one bus participant itself).
The maximum system expandability depends on the RS-485 address rang e of the
installed devices.
System expansion with RS-485 signal distributor
ATTENTION: The RS-485 signal distributor EDA997A is unidirectional! This means that
the signal only flows from the input towards the outputs. Therefore, e.g. the
interconnection of several keyboards is not possible with this signal distributor!
EDR910_1610_ma_en_rev1 00 - 15 -
Page 16
2.3.2 RS-485 plug connection assignment
The two RS-485 input RJ-45 plugs are looped through and pin-compatible. The following
RJ-45 plug assignment has to be considered for connection:
Pin 3: RS-485 +
Pin 6: RS-485 -
The following illustration shows the connector box assignment of the optional EDA998
connection kit (connector box, patch cable):
2.3.3 EKB-500 connection with network patch cable
For a simple, short distance installation, recorder and keyboard can directly be connected
using a standard network cable (patch cable, uncrossed!).
EDR910_1610_ma_en_rev1 00 - 16 -
Page 17
2.3.4 EKB-500 connection to several DVRs
For long distance installations connecting several DVRs, the use of the optional EDA998
connection kit is recommended:
EKB 500 installation with several DVRs and EDA998 connection kit
For further details on keyboard connection, please refer to the EKB 500 manual.
RS-485 port communication settings are configured in the RS-232/485 menu.

Page 18
2.4 Speed dome installation
Speed dome or telemetry receiver pan/tilt/zoom control is available through web browser
or the optional PowerCon software if the DVR is connected to a network. Local telemetry
control is provided by the optional EKB 500 keyboard.
ATTENTION: The basic RS-485 wiring rules described in chapter 2.3.1. also apply to the
connection of speed domes or telemetry receivers.
Supported protocols: EverFocus, ED2200/2250, Pelco-D, Pelco-P
The optional RS-485 connection kit EDA 998 is recommended for easy installation.
For RS-485 port pin assignment, please refer to chapter 2.3.2.

ActiveX applications must be permitted in the Internet Explorer settings.
The loading and installation of ActiveX components during initial installation require local
PC administration rights.
The following elaborations assume the proper DVR network connection installation.
11.2 FIRST TIME INSTALLATION ActiveX COMPONENTS
The EDR recorder series use an ActiveX application for remote viewing at PC.
This application will be loaded and installed at the first access with Internet Ex plorer.
Make sure, that your security settings at the PC allow ActiveX installations.
(Internet Explorer: OPTIONS > SECURITY SETTINGS > CUSTOM LEVEL:
activate installation and executing of safe ActiveX components and Plugins).
In several network installations the user rights for these settings are restricted by group
user right policy. In this case contact your network administrator for changing the
settings.
Troubleshooting:
If the PC had before network access to EDR recorders with first firmware versions, a
message like this may appear after Login:
In this case the old ActiveX application needs to be deinstalled manually:
Type in following commando lines in DOS prompt or under > START > RUN:
regsvr32 -u -s %windir%\system32\pentaocx.ocx > ENTER
regsvr32 -u -s %windir%\system32\erviewer.ocx > ENTER

APPENDIX C: Recording times
Average recording times, based on 100GB harddisk capacity.
Using the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) method, the storage requirement per image depends
on the image’s colour and contrast content and captured motion.
The following calculations represent sample values for continuou s recordin g. Actually
achieved values may differ and can be calculated by means of test recordings if required.
The value IMAGES/S refers to the total DVR recording rate (a ll installed cameras).
For video export to DVD+RW media, formatting the media to UDF format is mandatory.
The package of the recorder contains the burning software NERO. A part of the program
package is the application InCD.
InCD allows to format DVD+RW medias to UDF format.
