2.4 Connecting to alarm in/out device
The alarm input is switch signal,if the alarm input is not switch signal, such as voltage signal,
then please follow the connection method below.
If alarm output interfaces are connect to DC/AC load, then please refer the suggestion below.
Please pay attention to the different application of JP4 in these applications. If the interface is
connected with DV load, JP4 can be used in these two methods safely, and suggest that this should
be used within the limit of 12V/1A. if the interface is connect with AC load, then JP4 should be
cut off, unplug the short circuit object. Please use external relay for safety. (as shown in the figure)
There are 4 short circuit objects in the mother board, every alarm output interface correspond
one of them, and they are JP4, JP5, JP6 and JP7. It is short circuited after the DVR is produced, so
these short circuit objects should be unplugged when AC load is connected.
Attention! If the alarm output interface is used for control the AC circuit, short circuit
objects on mother should be unplugged, and external relay is needed to make sure the safety
of device, and prevent electric shock.
