2. Connect all peripherals (e.g. cameras, monitors, etc.) to the corresponding inputs/outputs on the DVR1 rear
panel.

CAUTION: DO NOT connect both S-video and Composite inputs at the same time. A hardware conflict will
occur, which could damage the unit.

3. When all connections have been completed, apply power to the system.

S-Video

• Cable must be purchased separately.

Ethernet Port

Ethernet port uses standard pinout configuration.

• For a DVR1 that connects directly to a Hub, use a straight-through connection.

• For a DVR1 that connects directly to a PC, use a crossover connection.

Accessories Port Connections

The rear panel of the DVR1 is equipped with an Accessories Port (DB-9 style
connector). Connect the Accessories PCB (supplied with the unit) to the
Accessories Port, then wire all accessories to the Accessories PCB.

If the Accessories PCB is lost or missing, contact Bosch Customer Service for a
replacement (Part Number 0900-0127a).

As an alternative to using the PCB connector, you may purchase a female
DB-9 connector and perform wiring and connections as detailed in the
following pin-out.

Pin 1: Alarm In Pin 6: Error Out
Pin 2: Alarm Out Pin 7: Ground
Pin 3: Record Start In Pin 8: Videoloss Out
Pin 4: Alarm Record Reset Pin 9: Disk End Out

Alarm Out: The Alarm Output is activated when a teletext alarm is read, or while the
Alarm Input is active. The Alarm output is only active for the duration of the alarm
event.

Record Start In: When activated, this connection places the unit in record mode.
Compatible with the Disk End Out signal from a second unit.

Alarm Record Reset: This feature is for future development and has not yet been
implemented.

VEXT Pulse Out: The Video External Pulse Connection (VEXT) simplifies
multiplexer operation by automatically synchronizing the multiplexer with the DVR1.

The DVR1 sends a VEXT pulse to the multiplexer, indicating that it is ready to
record the next image. The multiplexer responds by sending the next image to the
Video Input on the DVR1.

The VEXT connection is especially beneficial for units configured with dual record
speeds (Normal and Alarm).

NOTE: Use of the VEXT connection is highly recommended when connecting
the unit to a multiplexer.

Error Out: The Error Out signal is activated when the unit experiences any
operational or internal error.

Videoloss Out: The Videoloss Out signal is activated when the unit experiences
loss of video on the selected video input (Composite or S-video).

In the event of loss of video, VIDEOLOSS will be indicated near the upper
left-hand corner of the primary monitor.

Disk End Out: The Disk End Out is activated when there are 5 minutes of
recording space left on the hard disk.
