Installing

BEFORE YOU START:

Check the contents of the box

The following items are included in the box:

PSU

Mains cable with three pin plug fitted (North America)

Mains cable without plug fitted (other regions)

Mains cable with two pin plug fitted (EC)

Choosing a location for installation

Eco9 is designed to be desk mounted. The following precautions must be

taken when installing Eco9:

• Openings in the unit’s case are provided for ventilation. To prevent

overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered.

• When stacking units, ensure there is at least a 1/2" (1.5 cm) gap between

each unit.

• Ensure there is a 1" (3cm) gap on either side of the unit.

• Ensure the unit is not located in an area where it is likely to be subjected to

mechanical shocks.

• The unit should be located in an area with low humidity and a minimum of

dust. Avoid places like damp basements or dusty hallways.

• If using external storage, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for

placement details.

• If the unit is to be installed in a closed assembly, the maximum operating

temperature must not exceed 40oC.

• Ensure there is reliable earthing of the mains outlet when fitted to supply

connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit.

This reminder is provided to call the CCTV system installer’s attention to Art.

820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in

particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding

system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

CE Mark

This product is marked with the CE symbol and indicates

compliance with all applicable directives.

Directive 89/336/EEC.

A “Declaration of Conformity” is held at Dedicated Micros Ltd.,

• When connecting the Eco9 to a branch circuit this must be rated 15Amps.

• It is recommended that a UPS (Un-interruptible Power Supply) be

connected to the unit in case of power failure. This will ensure the

continuous operation of the Eco9.

A quick overview of digital recording

Digital multiplex recorders work in exactly the same way as analogue

multiplexers except that they use hard disks to store video, instead of VCR

tapes. Analogue recording uses time-lapse recording to extend the length of

time recorded onto 2 or 3-hour tape - recording fewer pictures every second.

Adjusting the number of pictures recorded every second also extends the

length of time recorded onto the hard disk of a Eco9. However, other factors

also determine the amount of time that can be stored on the disk of a digital

multiplex recorder:

• The image quality

• The record rate

• The hard disk capacity

Image quality

Digital multiplex recorders store images in a compressed format, allowing

images to be recorded more efficiently. The higher the compression, the

smaller the file size, but the image quality will suffer. Eco9 can compress

images between 6KB and 45KB.

ENGLISH

Kilobytes and Gigabytes are units of storage:

1GB = 1024 Megabytes (MB)

1MB = 1024 Kilobytes (KB)

With analogue recording, the image quality is dependent on the type of VCR

being used; VHS or S-VHS. Eco9 allows the image quality to be altered by

adjusting the image size, for example, Low quality is 14KB, Medium is 18KB,

and High is 25KB*.

Using a larger image size will fill the hard disk faster than a smaller image size,

as more space is required to store it. To achieve the same amount of recording

time when a larger image size is used requires the record rate (PPS) to be

reduced.

* Note that as for all digital recording, image quality can vary for different scene types, Medium quality

may be 18KB in one scene, but it may be 30KB or more to get the same quality in a scene with

more detail.

Record rate

The record rate is the amount of pictures recorded to disk in a second, or

pictures per second (PPS). This is a system wide figure, so whether 1 or 9

cameras are recorded, the record rate remains the same. The update rate per

camera can be worked out using the record rate:

Update rate = No. of cameras

Record rate

Calculating recording time

Eco9 calculates the recording time automatically when the record rate and

image quality are entered. Alternatively, an interactive record calculator is

available for download from our web site:

Eco9 can be installed in as little as 4 steps, and being plug-and-play, cameras

will be detected and recorded automatically.

Important Information

Selecting CD-R’s and CD-RW’s

The internal CD writer in the Eco9 is not compatible with the Ultra Speed

CDR’s. Ensure that only High Speed or Multi-Speed CDR media is used. This

is normally written on the CDR packaging and on the disk itself.

Connecting External Devices

Devices that can be connected to Eco9 include:

Storage devices

Alarm and relays

Ethernet networks

Dial-up modems

If you do not require any of the above devices to be connected to Eco9, move

on to ‘Configuring Eco9’ - Page 8.

Connecting storage devices

Images are recorded to the internal hard disk for instant playback and

searching by the operator. The capacity of the internal disk affects the amount

of images and time that can be recorded. For example, an Eco9 with a 80GB

hard disk can record for 8 days, while a 300GB hard disk allows one month of

recording.

The internal hard disk is a temporary storage device as the images are

constantly being overwritten after a certain period of time. If images need to be

kept for longer then external storage is required. The internal CD writer can be

used to extend the storage capacity of the Eco9.

Images can be copied from the internal hard disk onto CDR disks for long term

storage. CD’s are ideal for recording relatively small amounts of images such

as events, video clips, or incidents. These images can be played back on any

PC with a CD drive and DM Playback software installed.

The table below shows the recording times at typical recording rates (at

Medium image quality, 18KB):

STEP 1. Connect cameras

Connect cameras to the video inputs marked VID1 to VID9. Use the bottom

row of connectors for looping through to other equipment.

STEP 2. Connect monitors

Connect the video output marked MON A to the Main monitor (digital playback

and multiscreens).

Connect the video output marked MON B to the optional Spot monitor

(analogue full-screen images).

STEP 3. Connect the external devices

If external devices need to be connected to Eco9, go to the next section -

‘Connecting external devices’, before proceeding to Step 4.

STEP 4. Connect power

Once the Eco9 is in its final position and all external devices have been fitted and

powered, connect the PSU to the rear of the unit and apply the power. The power-

up procedure may take up to one minute before Eco9 can be used.

will now record all cameras without any further

programming!

Times indicate all cameras being copied to the CD.

ENGLISH

The 50-way high density SCSI-2 port on the rear of the Eco9 can be used as

an alternative to connect to external storage.

Compatible CD writers include; Yamaha CRW2200SX, Yamaha CRW3200SX,

Yamaha CRW-F1SX, Plextor Plexwriter PX-W1210TSE, Plextor Plexwriter PX-

W4012TSE.

Connecting Alarms and Relays

Dry contact alarms can be wired directly to the alarm connection on the back

on the Eco9. There are 10 alarm inputs, one for each camera, and a global

alarm input.

The alarm connections are as follows (view from solder side):

The polarity of the alarms - normally open or normally closed, can be set in the

‘Camera Setup’ menu.

The global alarm input is used to protect images. An alarm trigger performs the

following actions:

Note: If the standard PPS is set to 000PPS this will make the alarm cameras

exclusive record.

Relay connections are as follows:

Important Note: The onboard relays are rated at 24V 500mA, do not attempt

to connect mains power through the relays
