Thank you for purchasing our product. If there is any question or request, please do not hesitate to contact dealer.
This manual is applicable to the models listed in the following table.
DVR Pre-Installation
The DS-7200HFHI-ST&SE&SL, DS-7300HFHI-ST&SL and DS-8100HFHI-ST&SL series DVR is highly
advanced surveillance equipment that should be installed carefully. Please take into consideration the following
precautionary steps before installation of the DVR.
1. Keep all liquids away from the DVR.
2. Install the DVR in a well-ventilated and dust-free area.
3. Ensure environmental conditions meet factory specifications.
4. Install a manufacturer recommended HDD.
DVR Installation
During the installation of the DVR:
1. Use brackets for rack mounting.
2. Ensure there is ample room for audio and video cables.
3. When installing cables, ensure that the bend radius of the cables are no less than five times than its diameter.
4. Connect both the alarm and RS-485 cable.
5. Allow at least 2cm (≈0.75-inch) of space between racks mounted devices.
6. Ensure the DVR is grounded.
7. Environmental temperature should be within the range of -10 ºC ~ 55 ºC , 14ºF ~ 131ºF.
8. Environmental humidity should be within the range of 10% ~ 90%.
Hard Disk Installation
Before you start:
Before installing a hard disk drive (HDD), please make sure the power is disconnected from the DVR. A factory
recommended HDD should be used for this installation.
Up to 8 SATA hard disks can be installed on your DVR.
Tools Required: Screwdriver.

Quick Operation Guide of Digital Video Recorder
As the installation steps of HDD are similar among different models, here we take the steps of the
DS-7200HFHI-SE as an example.
Steps:
1. Remove the cover from the DVR by unfastening the screws on the back and side.
2. Connect one end of the data cable to the motherboard of DVR and the other end to the HDD.
3. Connect the power cable to the HDD.
4. Place the HDD on the bottom of the device and then fasten the screws on the bottom to fix the HDD.

Peripheral Connections
Wiring of Alarm Input
The alarm input is an open/closed relay. To connect the alarm input to the device, use the following diagram.
If the alarm input is not an open/close relay, please connect an external relay between the alarm input and the
device.
Wiring of Alarm Output
To connect to an alarm output (AC or DC load), use the following diagram:
DC Load Connection Diagram AC Load Connection Diagram
For DC load, the jumpers can be used within the limit of 12V/1A safely.
To connect an AC load, jumpers should be left open (you must remove the jumper on the motherboard in the
DVR). Use an external relay for safety (as shown in the figure above).
There are 4 jumpers (JP1, JP2, JP3, and JP4) on the motherboard, each corresponding with one alarm output. By
default, jumpers are connected. To connect an AC load, jumpers should be removed.
Example:
If you connect an AC load to the alarm output 3 of the DVR, then you must remove the JP 3.
Alarm Connection
To connect alarm devices to the DVR:
1. Disconnect pluggable block from the ALARM IN /ALARM OUT terminal block.
2. Press and hold the orange part of the pluggable block; insert signal cables into slots and release the orange part.
Ensure signal cables are in tight.
15
Quick Operation Guide of Digital Video Recorder
3. Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
RS-485 and Controller Connection
For DS-7200HFHI-SL, DS-7200HFHI-SE & DS-7200HFHI-ST
To connect PTZ to the DVR:
1. Disconnect pluggable block from the RS-485 terminal block.
2. Press and hold the orange part of the pluggable block; insert signal cables into slots and release the orange
part. Ensure signal cables are in tight.
3. Connect A+ on PTZ to D+ on terminal block and B- on controller to D- on terminal block. Fasten stop
screws.
4. Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
For DS-7300HFHI-ST&SL & DS-8100HFHI-ST&SL
To connect PTZ to the DVR:
1. Disconnect pluggable block from the RS-485 terminal block.
2. Press and hold the orange part of the pluggable block; insert signal cables into slots and release the orange
part. Ensure signal cables are in tight.
3. Connect A+ on PTZ to T+ on terminal block and B- on controller to T- on terminal block. Fasten stop
screws.
4. Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
To connect a controller to the DVR:
1. Disconnect pluggable block from the KB terminal block.
16
Quick Operation Guide of Digital Video Recorder
2. Press and hold the orange part of the pluggable block; insert signal cables into slots and release the orange
part. Ensure signal cables are in tight.
3. Connect Ta on controller to D+ on terminal block and Tb on controller to D- on terminal block. Fasten stop
screws.
4. Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
Make sure both the controller and DVR are grounded. Here we take the controller connection of the
DS-8100HFHI-ST as an example.
Termination Switch Operation
This function is applicable to the DS-7300HFHI-ST&SL and DS-8100HFHI-ST&SL.
Purpose:
To connect the DVR with several speed domes, the bus topology can be adopted, which means the speed domes
are connected with each other via the R+ and R- of RS-485 serial interface. But due to the impedance of 485 wire,
the longer the wire is, the greater the impedance gets.
To avoid the signal reduction caused by the great impedance of long distance transmission, please connect two
120Ω resistors in the circuit: one resistor between the DVR and the nearest speed dome, and the other one after the
furthest speed dome.
Steps:
1. Turn on the SW switches on the DVR and the furthest speed dome.
2. Keep other SW switches off.
The connection diagram and status of each SW switch are shown in the following figure.
For the DS-7300HFHI-SL and DS-8100HFHI-SL series DVR, the termination switch is placed on the
mainboard instead of the rear panel. Open the upper cover and turn on/off the SW switch if needed.
