2 Installation of the hard disk drive
Before installing the hard disk drives, turn off the power of the recorder first. When replacing the hard disk drives, the procedures
will be same as those of installation. When installing or replacing the hard disk drives for playback use only (hard disk drives that
are formerly used for recording), perform the link process.
Important:
• When securing the hard disk drives to the HDD brackets, do not mistake the direction of the connectors. (Do not install the
hard disk drives in the opposite direction.)
• When installing hard disk drives, use a low-torque powered screwdriver or a torque screwdriver to tighten screws with the
specied torque.
• Hard disk drives are precise devices. Handle with care while keeping the following in mind.
嵣Do not subject the hard disk drive to any vibration or impact.
嵣Before touching the hard disk drive, eliminate static electricity by touching a steel locker, etc. When holding the hard disk
drive, hold the both sides of the hard disk drive.
嵣Do not touch the circuit board or the connectors to prevent the hard disk drive from damaging by static electricity.
• Contact your dealer for hard disk drives that works on the recorder. Please be forewarned that operation with any hard disk
drive other than the specied models is not guaranteed under any circumstances.
• When using multiple hard disk drives, use the same model.
• If different models are used together, even when the capacities of them are the same, the available capacity may be a few
percent smaller.
Note:
• Hard disk drives are locally procured. Contact your dealer for purchasing, installing, and replacing the hard disk drives.

How to use the terminals of the ALARM/CONTROL
The ALARM/CONTROL connectors on the back is used when connecting an external device such as a sensor that outputs alarm
signals or when installing an external alarm device such as a buzzer or a lamp outside.
Insert the unarmored cable into the terminal plug and then mount it on the ALARM/CONTROL connector on the back.
* The cable should be a single or twisted wire with AWG 26~16 and an exposed length of 9 mm {11/32 inches}.

Connection example of control output
When an alarm device such as a buzzer or a lamp is connected, the signal output from terminal A4~A7 can be used to notify the
status by sounding a buzzer or lighting a lamp.
The following example is of a connection with the HDD error output /Recording error output (terminal A6).
