SECTION 2
Installation and Setup
2.1 What’s in the box
Your encoder includes the following:
• BLK-IPE4101 encoder
• 12 V DC power adapter
• 6-pin terminal blocks (2)
• 8-pin terminal blocks (2)
• Hardware installation kit including mounting brackets (2), screws (4), and wall inserts (2)
• CD mini disk with application software, software manual, and encoder user manual (this document)
2.2 Tools you need
To install the encoder, you will need:
• Phillips #2 screwdriver
• Drill 1/4” drill bit
• PC with Microsoft
®
Windows® XP SP3 or newer, 32- or 64-bit system
2.3 Install the encoder
1. Determine where the encoder will be mounted and record the 4 (one for each IP channel) Media Access Control (MAC)
address of the encoder. The MAC address can be found on a label on the underside of the encoder and are listed as channel 1
(top) to channel 4 (bottom). Record the information in the following table.
Location:
Chann el 1 MAC address:
Chann el 2 MAC address:
Chann el 3 MAC address:
Chann el 4 MAC address:
NOTE
The Channel 1 MAC address is associated with the Vin1 analog input, Channel 2 MAC address is associated with the
Vin2 analog input, etc.

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
2. Slide the mounting brackets provided in the hardware kit into the slots on the side of the encoder.
3. Do one of the following:
— If the mounting surface is a hard material, use the 1/2” self-tapping mounting screws provided in the hardware kit to
secure the encoder to the surface.
OR
— If the mounting surface is a soft material:
i. Using the encoder with the mounting brackets as a template, mark the location of the mounting screw holes.
ii. Drill 1/4” holes in the location of the mounting screw holes for the wall inserts provided in the hardware kit.
iii. Tap the wall inserts into the holes until they are ush with the surface.
iv. Use the 1-1/8” screws provided in the hardware kit to secure the encoder to the surface.
4. Connect an analog signal source (camera video) to the Vin BNC connector on the front of the encoder.
2.4 Connections
Connections to the encoder for audio in and out (microphone Ain and speaker, A
out
), sensor in (DI), alarm (DO), video out BNC,
RS-232C, and RS-485 control are made through two 8-pin terminal blocks and two 6-pin terminal blocks. The terminal blocks may
be detached from the encoder. Plug the four blocks into the connectors on the back of the encoder.

2.4.1 Audio in/out connections (Ain, Aout, channels 1 - 4)
The encoder includes an interface for a mono audio input (from a microphone) and a mono audio output (to a speaker) for each
channel. The audio output is a low level signal that requires an amplied speaker (see Specications).
To connect a speaker and/or microphone to the encoder:
1. Route speaker and/or microphone wiring to the encoder.
2. Strip 1/4” of insulation from the wires speaker signal and ground wires and insert them into the lower 6-pin terminal block
on the Aout and Aout Ground pins, respectively.
3. Strip 1/4” of insulation from the microphone signal and ground wires and insert them into the upper 6-pin terminal block on
the Ain and Ain Ground pins, respectively.
2.4.2 Sensor in connection (DI, channels 1 - 4)
The encoder provides four input channels for sensors, one for each channel. The sensors can be either all voltage or all relay type
sensors. For voltage type sensors, see Specications for allowable voltage levels. The conguration of each sensor input wiring is
illustrated in the diagrams below.

Relay type sensor wiring schematic
To connect a sensor to the encoder:
1. Route sensor wiring to the encoder.
2. Strip 1/4” of insulation from one sensor’s sense and ground wires and insert them into the upper 8-pin terminal block in the
DI (for channel 1, 2, 3, or 4) and DI Ground pin locations, respectively.
3. Strip 1/4” of insulation from another sensor’s sense and ground wires and insert them into the upper 8-pin terminal block in
the Ground pin locations, respectively.
2.4.3 Digital out (DO) connection
The encoder supports up to four digital out connections to reporting devices in the conguration shown in the schematic below.

Digital out wiring schematic
To connect digital out reporting device to the encoder:
1. Route leads from the digital out devices to the encoder.
2. Strip 1/4” of insulation from one device’s signal and ground wires and insert them into the lower terminal block in the DO ch
1 and DO GND pin locations, respectively.
3. Strip 1/4” of insulation from another device’s signal and ground wires and insert them into the lower terminal block in the DO
ch 2 and DO GND pin locations, respectively.
2.4.4 RS-485 device connection
The encoder provides one RS-485 interface connection. The wiring signal polarity and ground to the lower terminal block are
shown in the schematic below.
