1.5 Connections
This section is applicable for the DS-8600NI-E8, DS-7700NI-E4 and DS-7700NI-E4/P series only.
Wiring of Alarm Input
The alarm input is an open/closed relay. To connect the alarm input to the device, use the following diagram.
If the alarm input is not an open/close relay, please connect an external relay between the alarm input and the device.
Figure 1. 10 Alarm Input Wiring
Wiring of Alarm Output
To connect to an alarm output (AC or DC load), use the following diagram:
Figure 1. 11 Alarm Output Wiring
For DC load, the jumpers can be used within the limit of 12V/1A safely.
To connect an AC load, jumpers should be left open (you must remove the jumper on the motherboard in the NVR).
Use an external relay for safety (as shown in the figure above).
There are 4 jumpers (JP1, JP2, JP3, and JP4) on the motherboard, each corresponding with one alarm output. By
default, jumpers are connected. To connect an AC load, jumpers should be removed.

Network Video Recorder Quick Start Guide

Example:
If you connect an AC load to the alarm output 3 of the NVR, then you must remove the JP 3 jumper.
Connection of Alarm Connectors
To connect alarm devices to the NVR:
1. Disconnect pluggable block from the ALARM IN /ALARM OUT terminal block.
2. Unfasten stop screws from the pluggable block, insert signal cables into slots and fasten stop screws. Ensure
signal cables are tight.
3. Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
