 Connection with the RS485 camera
This is an example of connection when the unit is used together with the RS485 devices.
Up to eight cameras can be connected using a single RS485 (CAMERA) port.
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 switch on the rear panel.
•When connecting an RS485 camera, it is necessary to set each item of RS485 Setup of Comm on the SETUP MENU
according to the RS485 settings of the camera. (Refer to page 131.)
•The total length of the RS485 cable from this unit is 1 200 meters at the maximum.

 How to Use the Terminals of the ALARM/CONTROL Connector
These terminals are used for emergency recording, auto time adjustment (Auto Adjust Time), taking measures against power
outages (Shutdown Time), and when installing a buzzer, a lamp, or similar alarm device. They are also used to synchronize
with the sequential display changeover.
The terminal pin array and connections are shown below. The con-
nector used should be compatible with the pin configuration.
Pin array
The pin array is different from other disk recorders. Make sure that
the connection is correct referring to the following.

 Connection for emergency recording
When the external switch is turned ON, emergency recording will be started.
Resolution, recording time, recording rate and quality for emergency recording can differ according to the settings of
Emergency REC of Recording on the SETUP MENU. (Refer to page 112.)
 Connection for external recording changeover
When the external switch is turned ON, the recording program changeover is affected for recording.
The recording program can be set for EXT with the Time Table of Schedule on the SETUP MENU. (Refer to page 121.)
 Connection to synchronize the sequential display changeover (when multiple
units are used)
Sequential display changeover is affected by the timing of supplied signals to the sequence changeover input terminal. When
multiple units are used, the sequence timing can be synchronized.
Setting for the sequence timing can be set with Sequence Timing of Switcher on the SETUP MENU. (Refer to page 125.)
For the synchronization of the sequence timing between multiple units, there is a difference in the sequence timing setting as
shown below between the synchronized side (Master) and the synchronizing side (Slave).
Synchronized side (Master): Set at INT (functioning as an output terminal)
Synchronizing side (Slave): Set at EXT (functioning as an input terminal)

 Connection for the Auto Adjust Time function
• When Auto Adjust Time of System on the SETUP MENU is set to MASTER
Time Adjust Output becomes available and the clock of this unit can be applied to other units.
• When Auto Adjust Time of System on the SETUP MENU is set to SLAVE
Time Adjust Input becomes available. When a signal output from other equipment is supplied to the time adjust I/O terminals
between 00 minutes 00 seconds and 14 minutes 59 seconds every hour or between 45 minutes 00 seconds and 59 minutes
59 seconds every hour, the clock will be set to 00 minutes 00 seconds of the closest hour.
Example:
Signal is supplied at 2:50:00 (hour:minute:second)pm →Set at 3:00:00 pm
Signal input supplied at 3:14:45 pm →Set at 3:00:00 pm
Signal is supplied at 3:20:00 pm →Time will not be adjusted.
Important:
•When “SLAVE is selected, the auto time adjustment function works differently depending on the recording status as fol-
lows:
*1: When event recording is performed on any camera channel
•Recording will not be performed for around 4 seconds when the clock is adjusted during recording.

 Connection with the Uninterruptible Power System (UPS)
This is an example of connection with the uninterruptible power system (UPS) to be installed to protect from a power outage.
When a signal is supplied to the outage detection I/O terminals from the uninterruptible power system (UPS), internal process-
ing (stops recording safely) will be started to shut off the power supply for this unit.
After completing the internal processing, a signal will be supplied from the outage processing end output terminal to the unin-
terruptible power system (UPS). Then, the power supply to this unit can be suspended.
 Connection of the control output
•When an alarm device such as a buzzer or a lamp is connected, the signal output from Pin Nos. 15 - 18 can be used to
notify the status by sounding a buzzer or lighting a lamp.
•The following example is of a connection with the HDD error output (pin no. 16).
