FLAT SURFACE MOUNTING

EQUIPMENT RACK MOUNTING

The DX7100 may be placed on a flat surface, such as a shelf, or it can be installed in a 19-inch (48.26 cm) equipment rack.

Before placing the unit on a flat surface, attach the rubber feet (supplied) to the bottom of the DVR. The unit may scratch the
surface if the rubber feet are not installed.

To install the unit in an equipment rack:

1. Attach the handles to the rack ears using the four flat head screws provided. Refer to Figure 1.

2. Remove the top screw and bottom screw from the left and right side of the DVR. Remove the side plates. Refer to Figure 1.

3. Use the screws removed from the sides of the DVR and attach the rack ears to the unit. Refer to Figure 1.

4. Use four of the supplied 10-32 x .75-inch black screws and finishing washers and mount the assembly to a 19-inch (48.26 cm)
rack or console. Installation of the assembly may require two persons. One rack unit (1.75 inches or 4.45 cm) of spacing
between units is recommended.

1 PTZ (RS-422 Converter)

To control receivers with pan/tilt and zoom functions, such as Pelco’s Esprit
RS-422 communication converter. The DX7100 DVR cannot operate PTZ receivers if the RS-422 converter is not installed
and the PTZ receiver address is not set to accept D protocol control. For information on setting the receiver address for D­type control, refer to the documentation supplied with the PTZ receiver.

Do the following to install the RS-422 converter:

a. Connect the control wires from the receiver to the RS-422 converter (refer to Figure 5). The DX7100 can support up

to 16 PTZ devices, at a maximum of 4,000 feet (1,219 m).

b. Set the DTE/DCE switch located on the bottom of the converter to DCE (refer to Figure 6).

c. Plug the RS-422 converter into the 9-pin to 25-pin adapter.

d. Plug the pin converter into the COM 1 Port.

e. Attach the power adapter to the RS-422 converter.

f. Plug power adapter into a power source.

2 TCP/IP Access

Consult your network administrator to avoid possible network conflicts. For TCP/IP access, connect the DX7100 to a
10/100 Ethernet network. Use a standard UTP Cat5 cable with RJ-45 connectors. Plug the cable into the LAN port located
on the back of the unit. Use a router with multicasting when connecting to a WAN network.

3 Analog Spot Monitor (Sequencing Only)

You can connect an analog monitor to the DX7100. This monitor is for viewing purposes only. Programming menus and
bars are not displayed on the screen. All enabled cameras are displayed on the monitor in a sequential order.

Connect the analog spot monitor to the output labeled VIDEO OUTPUT.

4 Sensor (Alarm) Inputs

The DX7100 has eight normally closed dry contact sensor inputs. Sensor inputs require an open circuit contact, such as a
switch or relay, to trigger an alarm.

To wire a sensor input:
a. Connect one wire from the source device (for example, a door) to one of the sensor input terminals 1 through 8.
b. Connect a second wire from the source device to the COM terminal.

5 Relay Outputs (Maximum Power Rating 125 VAC, 0.5 A; 30VDC, 1 A)

The DX7100 has eight normally open dry contact relay outputs. A signal from a output will operate the device connected
to the output.

To wire a relay output:
a. Connect one wire from the device (for example, an alarm) to one of the relay output terminals 1 through 8.
b. Connect a second wire from the relay device to the COM terminal.

NOTE: The sensor input does not have to correspond numerically to the relay output. All sensor input and relay output actions
are linked through programming. Refer to the Operation/Programming manual for details.

Refer to the Operation/Programming manual for instructions on how to set up and operate the DX7100 DVR.
