Chapter 2 Installation and Connections
2.1 Installation
During installation of the NVR:
Use brackets for rack mounting.
Ensure ample room for audio and video cables.
When routing cables, ensure that the bend radius of the cables are no less than five times than
its diameter.
Connect the alarm cable.
Allow at least 2cm (≈0.75-inch) of space between racks mounted devices.
Ensure the NVR is grounded.
Environmental temperature should be within the range of -10° C to +55° C (+14° F to +131° F).
Environmental humidity should be within the range of 10% to 90%.
2.2 Hard Disk Installation
Purpose:
The section introduces the HDD installation. The product figures in following steps are only for
reference.
Before you start:
Disconnect the power from the NVR before installing a hard disk drive (HDD). A factory
recommended HDD should be used for this installation.
Step 1 Fasten the hard disk mounting handle to the hard disk with screws.
Figure 2-1 Fasten Hard Disk
11
Network Video Recorder Quick Start Guide
Step 2 Insert the key and turn in clockwise direction to open the panel lock.
Step 3 Press the buttons on the panel of two sides and open the front panel.
Figure 2-2 Open Panel Lock
Step 4 Insert the hard disk along the slot until it is placed into position.
Figure 2-3 Insert Hard Disk
Step 5 Repeat the above steps to install more hard disks onto the NVR.
Step 6 After having finished the installation of all hard disks, close the front panel and lock it with
the key again.
2.3 Connections
2.3.1 Alarm Input Wiring
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.
12
Network Video Recorder Quick Start Guide
Figure 2-4 Alarm Input Wiring
2.3.2 Alarm Output Wiring
To connect to an alarm output (AC or DC load), use the following diagram:
Figure 2-5 Alarm Output Wiring
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 NVR). Use an external relay for safety (as shown in the figure above).
There are 4 jumpers (JP6, JP9, JP10, and JP11) 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 NVR, then you must remove the JP 3
jumper.
2.3.3 Use Alarm Connectors
To connect alarm devices to the NVR:
Step 1 Disconnect pluggable block from the ALARM IN /ALARM OUT terminal block.
Step 2 Unfasten stop screws from the pluggable block, insert signal cables into slots and fasten stop
screws. Ensure signal cables are tight.
Step 3 Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
13
Network Video Recorder Quick Start Guide
2.3.4 Controller Connection
Figure 2-6 Controller Connection
To connect a controller to the NVR:
Step 1 Disconnect pluggable block from the KB terminal block.
Step 2 Unfasten stop screws from the KB D+, D- pluggable block, insert signal cables into slots and
fasten stop screws. Ensure signal cables are tightly connected.
Step 3 Connect Ta on controller to D+ on terminal block and Tb on controller to D- on terminal
block. Fasten stop screws.
Step 4 Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
Make sure both the controller and NVR are grounded.
