Basic Connections
www.TURNSTILES.us * 8641 South Warhawk Road * Conifer, CO 80433
Connecting the hardware in the proper sequence and in the correct ports
will save you time and trouble during the installation of the DVR. The basic
connections should be made in the following order.
(Keyboard Port )
Keyboard – The keyboard connector is keyed (directional) and color
coded (purple) and should be connected first.
(Mouse Port )
Mouse – The mouse connector is also keyed and color coded (green) and
should be connect next.
(ETV-30-04 Video Port )
VGA Monitor Port – The video monitor connector is directional (D-
shaped shell) and color coded (blue) It may be found in different locations
on various models. Consult the Rear Panel Connections guide for your
model to determine the location.
(BNC Camera connectors )
BNC Camera connectors – The ETV 30-16 will include 2 DB-15 to flying
BNC leads. (8 input leads on each)
The ETV-60-16, 120-16, and 240-16 will have 1 DVI to flying BNC leads (16
input leads + 2 spot monitor outputs. #17 and #18 are monitor outputs)
Consult the Rear Panel Connections guide for your model for location of
these connections.
Try to have all of your cameras attached and powered up before turning on
the DVR. If not, the DVR may sense no input signal and turn off the inputs.
If that happens, make sure your cameras are attached and powered, and
then restart the DVR. Then open ‘Settings’ and assign a frame rate to the
affected channels to reactivate them.
