Important Safeguards

Page 6

Important Safeguards and Warnings before Installation

For Mobile Digital Single Channel Video Recorder (single HDD)

While the DVR is connected to t he 12VDC battery of the vehicle, the limited electric current is 3.0 amps with a normal electric current between 1.5~1.0 amps.

While the DVR is connected to t he 24VDC battery of the vehicle, the limited electric current is 1.5 amps with a normal electric current between 0.7~1.0 amps.

For Mobile Digital Four Channel Video Recorder (single HDD)

While the DVR is connected to t he 12VDC battery of the vehicle, the limited electric current is 3.5 amps with a normal electric current between 1.5~2.0 amps.

While the DVR is connected to t he 24VDC battery of the vehicle, the limited electric current is 1.6 amps with a normal electric current between 0.7~1.0 amps.

During installation, it is important to note that the power supply for the DVR should be directly connected to the vehicle batter y. Utilize a 5 - 10 amp fuse and only qualified power material designed specifically for t he vehicle for best results.

Never connect the unit directly to the power source as a high voltage surge may damage both the DVR and the vehicle. The EP2026A is equipped with elec t ronic su rge pro tection (up to 470V) to help pro tec t the unit from damage.

It is advised to operate the DVR while the car is running to minimize the power drain on the vehicle battery. Inspect the vehicle bat tery prior to installation to ensure maximum performance of your DVR.

Please use 160G Maxtor Hard Disk Drives with 3.5" Hard Disk DVRs

Please use 40G or 60G HITACHI Hard Disk Drives with 2.5" Hard Disk DVRs

To minimize t he risk of an elect rical fire, it is very important to moni tor t he power r ange and electrode, while the LCD monitors and cameras are both connected to the DVR.

0.2 Remote Control Protocol

A computer or a terminal can be used to control the unit by sending the packet as following.

========================================================= Digital video recorder RS 485/232 Control Code Protocol =========================================================

1-1. Sample control code packets

Example1 : A packet that send "REC" key to Digital Video Recorder (ID=5)

0x85 (length) 0x00 (Receiver ID high byte) 0x05 (Receiver ID low byte) 0x4B (OPcode = key ) 0x08 (DATA1 = "Rec" keycode ) 0x5D (checksum)

Example2 : A packet that send "PAUSE" key to Digital Video Recorder (ID=4999)

0x85 (length) 0x27 (Receiver ID high byte) 0x07 (Receiver ID low byte) 0x4B (OPcode = key ) 0x0C (DATA1 = "Pause" keycode ) 0x0A (checksum)

Example3 : A packet that send "PLAY" key to all Digital Video Recorder (broadcast)

0x85 (length) 0x7f (Receiver ID high byte) 0x7f (Receiver ID low byte) 0x4B (OPcode = key ) 0x0B (DATA1 = "Play" keycode ) 0x59 (checksum)

Page 60

2-1. The format of message packet is as follows:

Length Byte (Prefix: 0x86, 0x87, or 0x88 ..... )

Receiver ID high byte Receiver ID low byte Opcode Byte Data Byte1 Data Byte2 Data Byte3 . . Checksum Byte

2-2. Length Byte

This Length Byte is also a prefix. Bit7 must be 1.

EX: 0x87 ==> this packets has 7 bytes length. ( not included Length byte itself )
