eBridge8E
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate rating should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
1. Attach mounting brackets to eBridge8E unit for rack installation (Figs. 6a-6c, pg. 11). Affix rubber pads to eBridge8E for shelf installation (Fig. 7, pg. 11).
2. Unit should be located in proximity to ethernet switch/network, NVR or video server.
3. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the eBridge8E unit (Fig. 1, pg. 4). Plug unit into a reliable earth grounded socket.
When using multiple units the sum of the individual name plate ratings should not exceed the supply circuit rating.
Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.
4. Connect structured cable from ethernet switch/NVR (network video server) to RJ45 jack marked [1Gb] (Fig. 1, pg. 4).
5. Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Data In] (Fig. 1, pg. 4).
6.
eBridge1PCTX/eBridge1ST installation:
a. Secure unit to desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole.
Unit should be mounted in proximity of camera/device.
b. Connect structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT] (Fig. 1, pg. 4).
c. eBridge1PCTX: Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 1, pg. 4).
eBridge1ST: Connect Coax cable to flying RG6 marked [Coax] (Fig. 1, pg. 4).
7. When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage. When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type.
Connect four (4) 12VDC batteries wired in series to terminals marked [+ BAT --- ] (Fig. 1, pg. 4), carefully observing polarity.
Note: The eBridge is designed to accommodate Megapixel, HD720, HD1080 and VGA (SD) cameras. It is important to note that some high resolution and high
frame rate cameras may demand faster headend processing ability, such as a PC graphics card to present a quality image. If the headend processing equipment is
insufficient in speed, the image may show pixilation and latency. It is advisable to pretest system if unsure. Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced
to accommodate system equipment.
