1 disassemble the screw

○ ②disassemble the cover ③fix the screw of hard disk

④fix the screw of hard disk ⑤connect the data wire ⑥connect the power wire

2.3 Audio and Video Input and Output Connections

2.3.1 Video Input Connections

„ The video input port is BNC connector plug. The demand of input signal is
PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0VP-P, 75Ω)
„ The video signal must be accorded with the state standard which has the
high signal to noise ratio, low aberration and low interference. The image
must be clear and has natural color in the appropriate brightness.

Insure the vidicon signal stable and credible

„ The vidicon should be installed in the appropriate location where is away

from backlighting and low illumination or adopts the better backlighting and
low illumination compensation.
„ The ground and power supply of the vidicon and the XVR should be
shared and stable.

Insure the transmission line stable and credible

„ The video transmission line should adopt high quality coaxial pair which is
4
 chosen by the transmission distance. If the transmission distance is too far,
it should adopt shielded twisted pair, video compensation equipment and
transmit by fiber to insure the signal quality.
„ The video signal line should be away from the electromagnetic
Interference and other equipment signal lines. The high voltage current
should be avoided especially.

Insure the connection stable and credible

„ The signal and shield lines should be firm and connected credible which
avoid false and joint welding and oxidation.

2.3.2 Video Output Connections and Options

The video output is divided into PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0VP-P, 75Ω) and VGA
output (selective configuration)When replace the monitor by the computer
display, there are some issues to notice.
(1) Do not stay in the turn-on state for a long time.
(2) Keep the computer display normal working by demagnetizing regularly.
(3) Stay away from the electromagnetic Interference.

TV is not a credible replacement as a video output. It demands reducing the

use time and control the power supply and the interference introduced by the
nearby equipment strictly. The creep age of low quality TV can lead to the
damage of other equipment.

2.3.3 Audio Signal Input

(1) Audio port is BNC connection.

(2) The input impedance is high so the tone arm must be active.
(3) The audio signal line should be firm and away from the electro magnetic
Interference and connected credible which avoid false and joint welding
and oxidation. The high voltage current should be avoided especially.

2.3.4 Audio Signal Output

Commonly the output parameter of XVR audio signal is greater than 200mv
1KΩ (BNC) which can connect the low impedance earphone and active sound
box or other audio output equipment through power amplifier. If the sound box
and the tone arm cannot be isolated, howling phenomena is often existed.
There are some methods to deal with the above phenomena.
5
(1) Adopt better directional tone arm.
(2) Adjust the sound box volume to be under the threshold that produces the
howling phenomena.
(3) Use fitment materials that absorb the sound to reduce reflection of the
sound.
(4) Adjust the layout of the sound box and the tone arm.

2.4 Alarm Input and Output Connections

(1) Alarm Input

A. Alarm input is grounding alarm input.

B. Alarm input demand is the grounding voltage signal.
C. When the alarm is connected with two XVR or connected with XVR and
other equipment, it should be isolated by relay.

(2) Alarm Output

Alarm output cannot be connected with high-power load(no more than1A)

When forming the output loop it must prevent the big current from relay
damage. Use the contact isolator when there is a high-power load

(3) PTZ Decoder Connections

A. The grounding of the PTZ decoder and XVR must be shared otherwise
the common-mode voltage will lead to the PTZ control failure. The
shielded twisted pair is recommended.
B. Avoid the entrance of high voltage. Make the layout reasonably. Take
precaution from the thunder.
C. In the outlying end connect 120Ω resistance paralleled to reduce the
inflection and insure the signal quality.
D. the 485 AB lines of XVR cannot connected with other 485 output
equipment paralleled.
E. The voltage between the AB lines of the decoder must be less than 5V.

(4) Front e Equipment g Grounding Note

Bad grounding can lead to the burnout of the chip.

indicator light shining indicates turning on the video recorder. After the startup
you will hear a beep. The default setting of video output is multiple-window
output mode. If the startup time is within the video setting time, the timing
video recording function will start up automatically. Then the video indicator
light of corresponding channel is shining and the XVR is working normally.
1. Make sure that the input voltage corresponds with the switch of the XVR
power supply.
2. Power supply demands: 220V±10% /50Hz.
Suggest using the UPS to protect the power supply under allowable
conditions.

3.2 Turn Off

There are two methods to turn off the XVR. Entering <Main Menu> and
choosing <Turn Off> in the <Turn off the system> option is called soft switch.
Pressing the power supply switch is called hard switch. Illumination:

(1) Auto resume after power failure.

If the XVR is shut down abnormally, it can automatically backup video and
resume previous working status after power failure.
(2) Replace the hard disk
Before replacing the hard disk, the power supply switch in the real panel
must be turned off.
(3) Replace the battery .

Before replacing the battery, the setting information must be saved and the
power supply switch in the real panel must be turned off. The XVR uses button
battery. The system time must be checked regularly. If the time is not correct
you must replace the battery, we recommend replacing the battery every year
and using the same battery type.
