Step 2.  Install the DVR

For the following steps, refer to the back panel photo above for the location of connectors. 

1. 

Place the DVR in a location that is secure, well ventilated and clean. The DVR should be positioned such that the back panel connectors 
are accessible and the ventilation holes on the sides are not blocked. 

2. 

Connect the ground terminal on the back of the DVR to an earth ground. Refer to local codes for proper grounding. 

Step 3.  Connect alarm devices to the DVR

Wiring alarm inputs to the DVR

You can wire up to 8 alarm inputs to the DVR. Alarm input wiring connects to the RS-485, Alarm IN / OUT connector blocks on the back of the 
DVR.

Typical ALARM IN wiring

Wiring alarm outputs to the DVR

The DVR provides 4 alarm output terminations. These terminations for each output are on the ALARM OUT connector block on the back of the 
DVR , and are labeled 1 - G, 2 - G, 3 - G, 4 - G (G = ground termination). 

There are 4 jumpers (JP1, JP2, JP3, and JP4) inside the chassis on the alarm termination PC board, associated with ALARM OUT pins 1, 2, 3 
and 4 respectively. Initially, these jumpers are in place. If connecting an alarm output to a DC loaded alarm out circuit, the jumper must be in 
place. If connecting the alarm output to an AC loaded alarm, the corresponding jumper must be removed. Example: If you connect an AC load 
to the alarm output 3 of the DVR, then you must remove the JP 3. 

To remove a jumper for AC load alarm circuits: 

1. 

Disconnect all cabling from the DVR. 

2. 

Remove the DVR top cover: Remove the two cover screws on the back of the chassis, the slide the cover toward the back until it is free. 

3. 

Locate the jumper associated with the alarm output you are using for an AC load alarm, then remove it. Save the jumper for use later, 
if needed. 

4. 

Reinstall the DVR top cover.
