The ARS-414:

  All 4 video outputs are identical.  All of the remote switches will 

change all of the monitor images at the same time.  The alarm inputs will change all of the 

inputs at the same time.  The front panel button affects all of the outputs.

The ARS-4000:

  Each output is only changed when the remote button associated 

with that output is activated.  The alarm inputs will change all of the outputs at the same 

time.  The front panel button affects only output #4.

Camera Requirements:

 

 The ARS-414/4000 will work with Color or B/W 

cameras, AC or DC operated.  The outputs from the cameras can be either BNC/75 ohm 

Coax  or UTP/CAT-5/3 terminal strip/100 ohms.  

Cable Requirements:

  For the video in:  For BNC/75 ohm it is best to use 

RG-59U with a copper braid shield.  RG-6 can be used but is not recommended.  For the 

UTP/Cat-5, use a quality grade of Cat-3 or Cat-5.  If a balun is not build into the camera, 

one is needed for each camera location.

 

For the remote buttons:  For best results use a 20 ga. pair or larger 

 

For the video out: Use RG-59U (75 ohm Coax) for each monitor feed.

 

For the Alarming inputs: For best results use a 20 ga. Pair or larger 

Grounding:

 Make sure that all devices that are attached to the ARS series switcher 

is properly grounded.  For outdoor cameras, lightning protective devices are required on 

each cable feed. Refer to the devices manual for proper grounding instructions.
