4 PREFACE The WJ-HD500A Digital Disk Recorder is a combination of a Hard Disk Recorder with a Video Multiplexer; it is able to record the images of up to sixteen sequentially controlled video inputs on the built-in hard disk.A multi-recording function records simultaneously several images from various applications; this enables you to obtain reliable records by selecting the application which is best suited for your purpose. FEATURES • One recorder can handle sixteen video inputs, divid- ed into four groups, corresponding to various appli- cations. Dividing the sixteen video inputs into four groups makes it possible to record several images simultane- ously, depending on the system requirements, such as varied input, image quality, recording time, etc. • Reliable recording of events Obtain reliable records of important events by selecting the recording mode best suited. There are three recording modes: One Shot, Multi Shot and Time Lapse Recording.• Easy image search Three search modes for quick and easy images search: rotating the shuttle ring, recording list and thumbnail display. • Other handy recording functions • Use the program timer to preset the recording time and mode for each day of the week. • Emergency recording is given priority to record all video inputs in Time Lapse Recording while the input is received from an outboard device. • Connect the extension units in series for uninterrupted recording when the disk is full.

Take immediate action if the appliance becomes wet. Turn the power off and refer servicing to qualified ser- vice personnel. Moisture may damage the appliance and also cause electric shock. • Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the appliance body. Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance when it is dirty. When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently. • Be sure to install the disk recorder horizontally.• Do not operate the appliance beyond its specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings. Use the appliance at temperatures within +5°C - +45°C (41°F - 113°F) and a humidity below 85 %. The input power source for this appliance is 120 V AC 60 Hz. • Fully charge up the backup battery.
