The cable connection configuration depends on your
network configuration:
• For a DSR-1000eZ that connects directly to a
Hub, use a Straight Through connection.
• For a DSR-1000eZ that connects directly to a
PC, use a Cross Over connection.
Consult with your MIS personnel for the specific type
of configuration. See section 5.5 Advanced Menu →
Communications for information about configuring
the ethernet settings in the menu system.

VEXT Pulse Out
The Video External Pulse connection (VEXT) simplifies
multiplexer operation by automatically synchronizing the
Multiplexer and the DSR-1000eZ.
The DSR-1000eZ sends a VEXT pulse to the Multiplexer
indicating that it is ready to record the next image. The
Multiplexer responds by sending the next image to the Video
Input on the DSR-1000eZ.
The VEXT connection is especially beneficial for units
configured with dual record speeds (Normal and Alarm).
Use of the VEXT connection is Highly Recommended when
connecting the unit to a multiplexer.

The Error Out signal is activated when the unit experiences any
operational or internal error.

2 USER OPERATIONS
2.1 Recording
To begin recording, press the Record button. RECORD will be indicated for
three seconds, near the upper left hand corner of the primary monitor. The
unit always starts recording at the end of the previously recorded data.
Recording will continue until:
• Another mode is selected (Play mode, Reverse Play,or Stop
mode).
• The disk is full (In No Overwrite and Overwrite Once modes).
See section 5.1 Advanced Menu → Disk Overwrite Mode on
page 5-1, for details regarding Disk Overwrite modes.
Normal Recording
The unit records at the normal record speed until an alarm condition is detected.
The normal record speed is indicated on the monitor if the display option is enabled,
and can be altered using the Up/Down Record Speed buttons, or in the menu
system.
For information about altering the normal record speed from the menu system, see
Main Menu → Record Settings → Normal Record Speed, on page 4-5 of the
Operator Programming section of this manual.
The normal record speed can be altered while the unit is recording. The unit will
continue recording while the menu system is active.

Alarm Recording
When an alarm condition is detected, the unit automatically switches to the
alarm record speed. The alarm condition is indicated in several ways:
• With the word ALARM, displayed on the primary monitor, near the
upper left hand corner of the screen.
• With the internal buzzer (if activated in the menu system). For
information about activating the internal buzzer during alarms, see
Main Menu → Alarms on page 4-2 of the Operator programming
section of this manual.
• By an external device, connected to the alarm output of the unit (if
the unit is installed that way).
The alarm record speed cannot be changed using the Up/Down Record Speed buttons on the front
panel. The alarm record speed must be changed in the menu system. For information about altering
the alarm record speed, see Main Menu → Record Settings → Alarm Record Speed, on page 4-5
of the Operator Programming section of this manual.
The unit returns to the normal record speed when the alarm condition ends.

the WaveReader software. When the Ethernet session ends, the unit re-enables the RS-232 and RS485 communications and unlocks the front panel.
Playback stops when an Ethernet session is started. Playback will not be re-activated automatically
when the Ethernet session ends.

9 WARRANTY AND SERVICE
9.1 Factory Service
Warning: Do not open the top cover or attempt to service the unit, as this may expose
you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Programmer maintenance of this unit is
limited to external cleaning and inspection. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
If the unit requires factory service, contact the dealer who supplied the unit to you for the correct
procedures on returning the unit to the factory or the nearest factory service center.
If the dealer is not available, contact the manufacturer of the unit as detailed below and request a
Return Material Authorization number (RMA). The unit’s serial number must be provided before a
RMA number can be issued. Units returned to the factory for service must have freight and insurance
prepaid, and must show the RMA number clearly on all shipping documents. The failure symptoms
must be clearly described by the operator and enclosed with the unit together with a copy of the
original suppliers invoice. Failure to comply with these instructions will delay service of the unit, and
may result in the unit not being accepted by the Repair Center.

9.2 Warranty and Return Information
GE Interlogix warrants all of its equipment for three years from the date of purchase. This warranty covers
any defects in materials and workmanship. Equipment failures that are due to improper installation,
modification, abuse, or acts of nature will not be covered by this warranty. The repair department will
evaluate all equipment returned for repair to determine warranty coverage. The Tech Support Manager
will resolve any questions that may arise during evaluation to make a final determination.
Note: The three-year warranty does not apply to the following products:
MobileView® and the monitor CRT, which carry a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase.
The warranty specifically covers any defects in material and workmanship and does not cover equipment
that has been abused, damaged, or modified.
For all warranty repairs, GE Interlogix will cover all costs, including parts, labor, and shipping. Repaired
equipment will be returned via the same method of shipment in which it was received. If a customer
requests a faster return shipment, the difference will be charged.
For all non-warranty repairs, the customer will be billed for parts, labor, and shipping. Labor will be
billed in half-hour increments.
Note: Customers requesting an estimate prior to repair will be notified by phone. If they cannot be reached, they will be notified by
fax. If we are unable to reach the contact person for repair authorization after one phone attempt and two fax attempts, the
equipment will be returned without being repaired. We will hold equipment no longer than two weeks.
Advance Replacement Policy
When an advance replacement is required, we will send the customer replacement equipment from our
stock and receive the returned product in exchange. The received equipment will be evaluated and the
repair department will determine whether it is a warranty replacement. If it is non-warranty, see our repair
policy above for details. The following guidelines will be used for all advance replacements:
• Fewer than 45 days from purchase, GE Interlogix will replace the product with new equipment.
• From 45 days to 1 year from purchase, GE Interlogix will replace the product with refurbished
equipment.
• From 1 year to 3 years from purchase, the product must be sent in for repair. Advance
replacements will be sent for a fee of $100.
If you have questions about this policy, please contact the GE Interlogix RMA Department at
800-469-1676.
