Connecting to Alarm Input / Output Device

The alarm input is an open/closed relay. If the input is not an open/closed relay, follow the connection diagram
below:
To connect to an AC/DC load, use the following diagram:
For DC load, JP4 can be used within the limit of 12V/1A safely. If the interface is connected to an AC load, JP4
should be left open. Use an external relay for safety (as shown in the figure above).
There are 4 jumpers (JP4, JP5, JP6, and JP7) on the motherboard, each corresponding with one alarm output. By
default, jumpers are connected. To connect an AC load, jumpers should be removed.
Note: An external relay is needed to prevent electric shock when connecting to an AC load.
Alarm Connection
To connect alarm devices to the DVR:
1. Disconnect pluggable block from the ALARM IN /ALARM OUT terminal block.
2. Press and hold the orange part of the pluggable block; insert signal cables into slots and release the orange part.
Ensure signal cables are in tight.
3. Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
RS-485 Connections
To connect RS-485 devices (e.g., pan/tilt unit) to the DVR:
Press and hold the orange part of the pluggable block; insert signal cables into slots and release the orange part.
Ensure signal cables are in tight.
Note: Make sure the pan/tilt receiver unit is connected to the D+ and D- of the RS-485 terminal of
DS-7200-SH/SV and DS-7304/7308/7316-SH DVR, or to the T+ and T- of the RS-485 terminal of
DS-7324/7332-SH and DS-8124/8132-SH DVR.
