Alarm Sensors
To connect alarm-type hardware to a Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR, use hookup wire in the
20-gauge range.
Tools you may need:
•
A slot screwdriver (supplied). The screws are smaller than those for a 1/8 inch
screwdriver.
• A wire stripper.
Connecting an Alarm Sensor
1. From the alarm wire tips, strip approximately 0.6 cm (1/4 inch) of insulation.
2. Insert each alarm wire into the screw-type, terminal connector on the ALARM terminal
strip: one wire to the numbered terminal connection and the other wire to ground.
Caution To avoid short-circuits, ensure that bare wire is not visible at the rear panel.
