2. INSTALLATION ATTENTION: The installation should be effected by qualified personnel only. Connect power source only after having finished the further installation. 2.1 Delivery scope Check the delivery scope (see 4.) before starting the installation. 2.2 Video connection installation, DVR cascading Sample installation with maximum camera and monitor configuration: Cameras and monitors have to be cabled with 75 Ohm video cable, e.g. RG-59, RG-12 and suitable BNC plugs. Due to inappropriate

DVR cascading The digital video recorders provide "CASCADE IN" and "CASCADE OUT" video connections. In combination with RS-485 remote control, up to 8 EDR920/1640 can be cascaded and administrated via one single main monitor. Cascading is effected by connecting the DVRs „CASCADE OUT“ to the „CASCADE IN“ of the following DVR, while the last „CASCADE OUT“ is connected to the monitor input. By means of the RS-485 address sent from the keyboard, the respective DVR is switched on the monitor. T

2.3 Audio connection installation Sample installation with audio connection to video cameras providing audio output: The EDR920/1640 DVRs provide 4 audio inputs and 1 audio output. The inputs are designed for max. 500 mV to 10 KOhm line audio signals. ATTENTION: The direct connection of a non-amplified microphone is not supported (a microphone amplifier is required). The installation has to be effected with audio coax cable and RCA plugs. The output provides a max. 500 mV to 10 KOhm line audi

2.4 RS-485 keyboard installation All EDR920/1640 functions can be remote-controlled by the EKB 500 universal keyboard. Using the EEPbus protocol, digital video recorders, keyboards and speed domes can be installed on one single RS-485 bus. One system can comprise up to 8 keyboards. 2.4.1 General RS-485 bus installation EKB-500 uses an RS-485 simplex wiring; the signal is transferred via a single twisted pair line. CAT5 network cable is recommended, UPT version (unshielded) is sufficient for

A direct RS-485 bus star wiring is not supported; star wiring requires the use of signal distributors. Improper RS-485 bus star wiring If star wiring is inevitable, EDA 997A RS-485 signal distributors may be used. The maximum system cable length can also be expanded by using these distributors, physically providing a new RS-485 bus with 1200 m cable length each at every distributor output.
