Rack mounting
Remove the rubber feet.
Rack mount bracket fixing screw (provided)
Rack mount bracket (provided)
Rack mounting screw: M5 x12 (locally procured)
Important:
• Keep the temperature in the rack below +45 °C {113 °F}.
• Install the recorder in the rack as low as possible, and make a space of 1 unit (44 mm, 1.73) between the recorder and the
other mounted appliances.
• Do not block the front side of the rack such as by attaching a door panel, etc.
• It is recommended to install cooling fans or equivalent equipment to keep the temperature in the rack below +30 °C {86 °F}.

Connection
Basic connection
Important:
• When connecting an external recording device, use an optional USB cable to connect it to the COPY1 port on the rear or to
the COPY2 port on the front of the recorder.
• Transmission loss of video signals from the cameras connected to the VIDEO IN 1-8 connectors (VIDEO IN 5-8 connectors
are available only when an optional board is installed) can be compensated by selecting a proper value for the cable com-
pensation setting (Comp.).
S:Suitable when the total cable length between the camera and the recorder is shorter than 500 m
M:Suitable when the total cable length between the camera and the recorder is 500 – 900 m
L:Suitable when the total cable length between the camera and the recorder is 900 – 1 200 m
• Use 5C-2V cable to connect between the recorder and the camera.
• Select a proper value for the cable compensation setting (Comp.) according to the actual length of the cable in use.
Otherwise, images from the camera will not be displayed/recorded correctly.
• Audio signal from a microphone should be supplied to the recorder after amplifying to line level (–10 dBv, 51 kΩ) by an
amplifier.

Connection with PS·Data systems
This is an example of connection when the unit is used together with the PS·Data devices.
If a connected system controller is PS·Data compatible, it is possible to operate this unit or connected devices using the sys-
tem controller.
Use the RS485 cable provided with the system controller.
Important:
• Terminate both devices on both ends of the connection. Refer to the respective operating instructions for the descriptions
of how to terminate. Termination of this unit can be set with the mode selection DIP switch on the rear panel. (See page
47.)
• When connecting a PS·Data compatible device, it is necessary to set each item of PS.Data Setup of Communication
Setup according to the system configuration.
• The following are available PS·Data compatible devices.
• System controller: WV-CU650 (Ver 2.10 or later)
• Data multiplex unit: WJ-MP204
• Matrix switcher: WJ-SX650 (Ver. 3.00 or later)
(Any other PS·Data compatible devices are not to be connected.)

Add the recorder to a broadband WAN (Wide Area Network)
Important:
When the recorder is in a WAN, maximum accessible number will become as follows.
* Accessible number is the number of the camera channels that can be displayed in the display area of the monitoring
software.
• It is necessary to log in first to play/download recorded images and transmit/receive audio.
• If live images are transmitted using Multicast, the chart above is not applicable. 
• Only “Manager1” is capable of voice call. (page 67) 
• When displaying images from 5 or more camera channels, or when displaying recorded images in an area on a
multi-screen, only I-frame* will be displayed in all areas on a multi-screen and audio may not be heard.
*: Short for intra frame. I-frame is an image that is to be inserted in the intra refresh period of MPEG images. 
DIP Switch Setting
When the unit is used together with the PS·Data devices, use the RS485 cable provided with the system controller.
In this case, it is necessary to terminate both devices on both ends of the connection if they are connected with the RS485
cable.
Termination of this unit can be set with the DIP termination switch on the rear panel, and the setting of the mode selection DIP
switch varies whether to use this unit as a receiver or a system controller.
When connecting to the system controller and this unit is connected as the end of the PS·Data connection, set mode selection
DIP switch 2 to ON.
When connecting to the system device and this unit is connected as the end of the PS·Data connection, set mode selection
DIP switch 1 to ON.
