Important Safeguards
1. Read Instructions
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is
operated.
2. Retain Instructions
The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Cleaning
Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet before cleaning it. Do not use liquid
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp soft cloth for cleaning.
4. Attachments
Never add any attachments and/or equipment without the approval of the
manufacturer as such additions may result in the risk of fire, electric shock, or
other personal injury.
5. Water and/or Moisture
Do not use this equipment near water or in contact with water.
6. Accessories
Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The equipment
may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
equipment. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions,
and should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.
This equipment and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart
combination to overturn.
7. Power Sources
This equipment should be operated only from the type of power source indicated
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power, please consult your
equipment dealer or local power company.
8. Power Cords
Operator or installer must remove power, BNC, alarm, and other connections
before moving the equipment.
9. Lightning
For added protection for this equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the
equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

10. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords to avoid the risk of fire or electric
shock.
11. Objects and Liquids
Never push objects of any kind through openings of this equipment as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the equipment.
12. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this equipment yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
13. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged
• If liquid is spilled or objects have fallen into the equipment
• If the equipment has been exposed to rain or water
• If the equipment does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the equipment to its normal operation.
• If the equipment has been dropped or the cabinet damaged
• When the equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance—this
indicates a need for service.
14. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
15. Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this equipment, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the equipment is in proper
operating condition.
16. Field Installation
This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should
conform to all local codes.
17. Correct Batteries
WARNING! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect
type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
18. Operating Temperature
6
An operating temperature range is specified (see Appendix K, Specifications) so
that the customer and installer may determine a suitable operating environment
for the equipment.
19. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the specified operating temperature range.
20. Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in the rack should be such that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
21. Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition
is not caused by uneven mechanical loading.
22. Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to connection of the equipment to supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings
should be used when addressing this concern.
23. Reliable Earthing (Grounding)
Reliable grounding of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to
the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).

Technical Overview
HRXDS Series DVR User Guide
In addition to replacing both a time-lapse VCR and a multiplexer in a security
installation, your DVR has many features that make it much more powerful and easier
to use than even the most advanced VCR.
The DVR converts analog NTSC or PAL video to digital images and records them on a
hard disk drive. Using a hard disk drive allows you to access recorded video almost
instantaneously; there is no need to rewind tape. The technology also allows you to
view recorded video while the DVR continues recording video.
Digitally recorded video has several advantages over analog video recorded on tape.
There is no need to adjust tracking. You can freeze frames, fast forward, fast reverse,
slow forward, and slow reverse without image streaking or tearing. Digital video can be
indexed by time or events, and you can instantly view video after selecting the time or
event.
Your DVR can be set up for event or time-lapse recording. You can define times to
record, and the schedule can change for different days of the week and user defined
holidays.
The DVR can be set up to alert you when the hard disk drive is full, or it can be set to
record over the oldest video when the disk is full.
Your DVR uses a proprietary encryption scheme making it nearly impossible to alter
video.
You can view video and control your DVR remotely by connecting via Ethernet. There
is a SCSI port that can be used to record or archive video to external hard disk drives,
and there are also three USB ports that can be used to upgrade the system or copy
video clips to external hard disk, CD-RW and flash drives.

Connect the coaxial cable from the video source to the BNC Video In connectors.
Connecting the Loop-Through Video
Figure 2-3 Video Loop-Through Connectors
If you would like to connect your video source to another device, you can use the Loop
BNC connectors.
Note The Loop BNC connectors are auto terminated. Do NOT connect
a cable to the Loop BNC unless it is connected to a terminated
device because it will cause poor quality video.

Installation
VGA Port
Figure 2-6 VGA Connector
A VGA connector is provided so that you can use a standard, multi-sync computer
monitor as your main monitor. Use the cable supplied with your monitor to connect it to
the DVR.
Note The Video Out (BNC), SVHS Out and VGA connectors may be
connected to individual monitors for simultaneous operation.
Connecting to the RS485 Port
Figure 2-7 RS485 Connector
The DVR can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system, such as a
control keyboard, using RS485 half-duplex serial communications signals. The RS485
connector can also be used to control PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras. Connect RX-/TXand RX+/ TX+ of the control system to the - and + (respectively) of the DVR. See
Chapter 3, Configuration and the PTZ camera or remote controller manufacture's
manual for configuring the RS485 connection.

Connecting to the Network Port
Figure 2-8 Network Connector
The DVR can be networked using the 10/100Mb Ethernet connector. Connect a CAT5
cable with an RJ45 jack to the DVR connector. The DVR can be networked with a
computer for remote monitoring, searching, configuration and software upgrades. See
Chapter 3, Configuration for configuring the Ethernet connections.
Caution The network connector is not designed to be connected directly
with cable or wire intended for outdoor use.
