5.2 Power supply
The DLS is powered with the required voltage of 12V DC by a PSU (power supply unit).
This PSU is able to absorb shortvoltageuctuations and therefore to keep the recorder
from rebooting or shutting down.
In order to absorblongervoltageuctuationsthe DLS has to be powered with a suitable
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). These devices allow the bridging of a uctuation longer
than 100 ms, according to the DIN EN 50130-4 requirements.
IMPORTANT
The DLS must be connected to a UPS in order to meet the DIN
EN 50130-4 requirements.
5.3 Cameras
The type and number of video inputs may vary depending on the device version and addi-
tional enabling.
l 4 analog cameras (C1-C4)
l 8 analog cameras (C1-C8)
l 16 analog cameras (C1-C16)
The analog video inputs on the recorder are arranged on the connection plate (14).
ØConnect the video cables to the requisite video inputs C1-C16.
WARNING
Danger of death from electric shock caused by lightning.
Video cables must not be connected or disconnected during
a storm.

DLS 4 / DLS 8 / 8 PLUS / DLS 16 / 16 PLUS
18Dallmeier electronic
Please note that in the basic conguration, all analog video inputs on the recorder are ter-
minated. If a camera signal is forwarded to an optional device (signal loop), the termination
must be cancelled (see section entitled Congurationofoptionalperiphery).
5.4 Monitors
For connecting a monitor a distinction must be made between the various video outputs
(CVBS and VGA) and their respective functions.
VGA
The VGA monitor is connected using the VGA output (6). The VGA monitor can provide
various functions depending on the operating mode of the recorder:
Sequencer/Livemode
Display live pictures
Playback/Live mode
Display live pictures
Camera control
Display of tracks (changing to playback mode)
Display conguration dialogs (GUI – graphic user interface)
Playback mode
Playback
Track evaluation
Picture export and printing
Playback control (GUI – graphic user interface)
CVBS
Two CVBS monitors can be connected using video outputs M1 and M2.
Regardless of the recorder’s operating mode, only live pictures are output to these video
outputs at all times. The CVBS monitors can be used as pure control monitors for the se-
quencer / live mode. In addition, however, the denition of an individual display sequence
from the various cameras is possible (see section entitle Display settings / Sequencer).
The display of the recorder’s GUI (conguration and playback) and on-screen displays (OSD
texts, time and camera name) is not possible.
5.5 Audio
Audio IN
The camera’s audio channels are connected to the audio inputs 10 and 11 (15-pole D-SUB)
using a cable rack. Please note the labels on the cable rack.
Audio OUT
The audio out allways refers on the current split.

DLS 4 / DLS 8 / 8 PLUS / DLS 16 / 16 PLUS
19Dallmeier electronic
5.6 Mouse and keyboard
The mouse and keyboard can be connected either to a USB port or to the PS/2 port.
USB
Ø Connect the mouse and / or keyboard to any USB port (8).
PS/2
Ø Connect the mouse and / or keyboard to the Y-cable.
Ø Connect the Y-cable to the PS/2 port (9).
5.7 Contact IN
The Contact IN interface (16 and 17) allows various recorder functions to be started and
controlled by external devices.
The following specications apply for all contact inputs:
l Interfering pulses < 10 ms are ltered out
l Contact input must be < 1V for low level at 1 mA
lVdS calms a contact duration of min. 200 ms for alarm systems
Proceed as follows to connect the contact output on an external device:
ØUse the supplied 18-pin Weidmüller plug connector.
ØConnect the contact output on the external device to the plug connector.
Ø Align the plug connector correctly (routing).
ØCheck that the assignment is correct.
Ø Connect the plug connector to the 18-pin plug strip (16) on the recorder.
Regarding the contact inputs, a differentiation is made between contacts for individual ca-
meras and global contacts.

Contact inputs G1 to G6 are known as global contacts.
The outer pins on the plug connector strip are connected to ground. The pins on contacts
G1 to G6 are arranged from left to right.
In contrast to the camera-related contact inputs, the global inputs are not pre-assigned. The
function that the contact should have can be set using Setup > Interfaces > Contact IN.
5.7.2 Contacts for individual cameras
Contact inputs 1 to 16 are known as camera-related contact inputs.
The outer pins on the plug connector strip are connected to ground. The pins on contacts
1 to 16 are arranged from left to right.
The function that should be initiated by making contact inputs 1-16 is preset to Camera star.
Therefore the recording of the relevant camera is started if the required recording settings
have also been made.
Make the required recording settings under Setup > Recording > Cameras (see also the
chapter entitled Recording settings).
The function initiated by the contact input can be changed under Setup > Interfaces >
Contact IN.
