3.3 – CONNECTING POWER

The 9108UV package includes a 12V/3A DC power supply.
When connecting the DVR and cameras to a power source, please only use the 
power adapters or power boxes supplied by Zmodo.

Please do not cut, splice, or otherwise modify the electrical wires on any of the 
Zmodo cameras, DVRs, or power supplies.  Doing so will prevent us from 
providing further technical support and will void the equipment warranty.

3.4 – CONNECTING A DISPLAY

The 9108UV supports connecting external alarm sensors to the RS485 interface 
on the rear panel of the DVR.

The purpose of external alarm sensors is to activate recording on a given channel 
when the sensor is activated or a condition is met, such as a door opening.

To configure the external alarm settings, please refer to Section 10.2.

For complete instructions regarding connecting external alarm sensors, please 
visit http://zmodo.net or contact Technical Support.
