DESCRIPTION
DX3100 digital video recorders (DVRs) combine the functions of a high-quality recorder with a multiplexer into a single unit. Both 8- and
16-channel models are available with 60, 120, or 240 GB hard drives. You can set the DX3100 to record video at either high (640 x 240) or
low (352 x 240) resolution. The DX3100 software can be upgraded through the built-in floppy disk drive (FDD) or by remote download
through a network connection. All units are capable of both NTSC and PAL formats.

CHANNELS AND MONITOR
Refer to Table A for video coaxial cable distances.
1.Connect video cables to the inputs on the rear of the unit.
2.If looping is desired, attach BNC monitor cables to the appropriate output BNCs (DX3108 models) or use the provided looping output
cables (DX3116 models).
3.Attach a monitor to the MON OUT BNC on the rear of the unit. This is used for programming the unit and for user operation.

Wire all camera receiver units that are to be used for PTZ operations. Note that although both Pelco P and Pelco D protocols are
recognized and can be used with the controller, you cannot mix receiver protocols on the same DX3100. Select the protocol when
programming the unit.
1.Connect the control wires from the receiver to the RS-232 to RS-422/RS-485 converter. The DX3100 can support up to 16 PTZ devices.
(Refer to Table B and Figure 4.)

3.Plug the RS-232 to RS-422/RS-485 converter into the 9-pin to 25-pin adapter.
4.Plug the converter into the PTZ port.
5.Attach the power adapter to the RS-232 to RS-422/RS-485 converter.
6.Plug the power adapter into a power source. The standard European plug is attached to the power adapter. To convert the adapter to
the USA standard, loosen the Phillips screw and remove the European plug (refer to Figure 4).

ALARM WIRING
Up to four alarm inputs can be wired to the DX3100. You can also connect up to two external devices to the unit. When an alarm input is
triggered, the unit begins alarm recording. It can also activate the external devices.
Use Figure 5 as a guide for wiring the alarm inputs and relay outputs.

INOUTALARM
WIRING
PANEL
WARNING: The alarm relay output provides a maximum load of 1 A at 24 VDC. Therefore, it is recommended that you install a
fuse with your external circuit to protect the DX3100.
NETWORK CONNECTION
The DX3100 can be connected to other network equipment as part of a LAN (local area network). Contact your network administrator to
set up your connections properly, assign static IP addresses, and so on.
NOTE: The product’s network connection should be professionally integrated into existing on-site network configurations, where
possible. The connecting cable should meet or exceed Cat5 cable specifications.

CONNECT POWER
NOTE: The DX3100 is set at the factory to operate on 115 VAC. For 230 VAC operation, move the voltage selection slide switch (located
below the power input cord connector) to the 230 VAC position. After attaching your equipment to the rear panel connectors, connect the
power cable to the unit. The unit powers up automatically.
NOTE: The unit defaults to LIVE VIEW mode immediately after power-up.
POWER CYCLING AND SCAN MODE OPERATION
The DX3100 enters SCAN mode when it is powered up. In this mode, it performs housekeeping functions and guards the integrity of
recorded video files and their file structure. Users cannot control this process; it is automatic.
SCAN mode time can be affected by the following three issues:
1.Number of recorded files: The more files there are, the longer the scan takes. When a system is powered up for the first time, there
is no scan operation because there are few recorded files.
2.Disk drive size in GB: The larger the system hard drive, the greater the number of files that can be recorded.
3.Type of power-up: SCAN mode is faster after a normal power cycle than after an abnormal power loss.
The word “SCAN” appears on the monitor during power-up at about the same time that “REC” appears (refer to Figure 6). During the scan,
the user cannot enter either SETUP or PLAYBACK modes. Only LIVE VIEW and PTZ modes are available. As soon as the unit finishes the
scan, normal operation can resume.
Figure 6. Scan Mode Engaged
If you try to access either the SETUP or PLAYBACK modes, the DX3100 displays the following message:
“WAIT UNTIL FILE SCAN IS COMPLETED”
C695M-B (11/03)11
OPERATING AND PROGRAMMING CONTROLS
The DX3100 can be operated and programmed either from the front panel of the unit or from the IR (infrared) remote controller.
NOTE: Each DX3100 has its own identification number or ID. This ID can be changed on the RECORDER SETUP screen on the unit. If you
change the ID on the DX3100, you must enter the new ID on the IR remote controller (refer to DX3100-IR Remote Synchronization for more
information).
Many controls on both the front panel and the IR remote controller share functions. The function of these buttons depends on the mode
(LIVE VIEW, SETUP, PLAYBACK, or PTZ). For example, the arrow buttons on the front panel and the IR remote controller are used differently
in LIVE VIEW, SETUP and PTZ modes.
Refer to the controls for each mode on the following pages. Front panel controls appear on page 13; IR remote controller controls appear
on page 14.

SETUP MENU NAVIGATION
The DX3100 has four operating modes: LIVE VIEW, SETUP, PLAYBACK, and PTZ. LIVE VIEW, which is the default mode upon power-up, is
“home base” for the other three modes.
NOTE: When programming the DX3100, use either the DX3100 front panel controls or the IR remote controller.
To access the DX3100 setup menu:
1.Make sure the unit is in LIVE VIEW mode. If not, exit the current mode.
2.Press the SETUP button. The unit asks for the security password.
NOTE: The default password is 1981. To implement unit security, change the password on the RECORDER SETUP screen.
3.Use the channel buttons to enter the four-digit password. The setup menu screen appears (refer to Figure 8).
NOTE: On the DX3116 front panel, use the 10 button for 0. On the DX3108 front panel, use the button for 9 and thebutton for 0.
