DESCRIPTION

The DX9000 system consists of at least one digital video recorder (DVR), one viewstation, and one storage unit.
The DX9000 digital video recorder can record images simultaneously from as many as 40 cameras at 15 images per second (ips) or from as many as 24 cameras at 30 ips. There are two types of recorders. One is compatible with DX9000HDDS storage units and one is compatible with DX9200HDDI storage units.
Thousands of cameras can be recorded and viewed at the same time when multiple DX9000 recorders and viewstations are linked to each other through a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN).
The DX9000VS-C viewstation has these features:
Simultaneous viewing of live or recorded video can be seen from as many as four cameras.
Live video can be marked for later review by the user or via motion detection.
Scan feature allows the user to search recorded video for movement of a specific object.
•Video files can be saved in MPEG format to a compact disk, hard drive, or anywhere on the network.
•A current video frame can be printed on a standard PC printer.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

You must adhere to the following guidelines for optimum system performance.
The DX9000 recorders and storage units require connection to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to ensure no corruption of data during a power loss.
The DX9000 system must be installed in a climate-controlled room. The temperature range should be 41˚ to 85˚F (5˚ to 29˚C).
All network devices that will transport DX9000 video must be capable of moving multicast traffic.
Pelco recommends that the DX9000 recorder and storage units be installed in a ventilated rack enclosure. Never secure the recorder or storage units to the rack enclosure using only the front handles.
Make sure the rack enclosure is properly grounded.
Pelco recommends that a spare phone line be installed and connected to a primary DX9000 viewstation to allow the Pelco Technical Support Group to dial into the site upon customer request. Pelco personnel will not make changes unless authorized by the customer. This phone line can be password protected to prevent unauthorized access.
Lack of adherence to these guidelines gives Pelco discretion in honoring product warranty.
C662M-E (5/03) 11

MOUNTING

The recorder and viewstation are supplied with the necessary parts for mounting into an industry standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) wide equipment rack. The recorder should be connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) capable of supplying 2 A for 120 VAC power systems or 1 A for 230 VAC power systems.
The units can be placed on a flat surface, such as a shelf, or can be installed in a 19-inch wide equipment rack.
NOTE: Allow one rack unit (1.75 inches or 4.5 cm) of space between each unit for air circulation.
To install the units in an equipment rack:
1. Attach the two rack ears to both sides of each unit.
2. Attach the two brackets to both sides of each unit.
3. Attach the mounting rails to the equipment rack.
4. Place the units onto the mounting rails. They should slide in and out of the rack easily.
5. Fasten the rack ears to the equipment rack.
6. Attach the patch panel to the rear of the rack.
The following illustration shows how to mount a recorder or a viewstation into a rack.
CAUTION: The units should be installed in an air-conditioned room where the temperature is maintained between 41° and 86°F (5° and 29°C).

CONNECTIONS

The steps and Figures 3 and 4 show how to connect the units to each other and to a network. A dedicated LAN of four or more viewstations requires a minimum network of 100BaseT (100 Mbit/sec). Integration within an existing LAN/WAN requires a network of 100BaseT (100 Mbit/sec).
1. Connect the viewstation to the recorder via an Ethernet switch. Use shielded network cables.
2. Connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the viewstation.
3. Connect up to five 37-pin connectors to the recorder.
4. Connect cameras to the recorder.
5. Connect the storage units to the recorder. Refer to the IDE or SCSI Installation/Operation manual for more information.
6. Connect all power cords.
7. Turn on the storage units and let them run for at least one minute (the hard disk drives must spin through their warm-up cycle).
8. Turn on the recorder and let it boot for at least 30 seconds.
9. Turn on the viewstation.
