Peripheral Connections
Wiring of Alarm Input / Output
The alarm input/output interface of the NVR is shown as below:
The alarm input is an open/closed relay. If the input is not an open/closed relay, follow the connection diagram
below:
Relay alarm
input
Relay alarm
input
NVR
NVR
To connect to an alarm output (AC or 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 (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.
An external relay is needed to prevent electric shock when connecting to an AC load.
Using 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 in tight.
3. Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
Controller Connection
To connect a controller to the NVR:
1. Disconnect pluggable block from the KB terminal block.
2. Unfasten stop screws from the KB D+, D- pluggable block, insert signal cables into slots and fasten stop
screws. Ensure signal cables are in tight.
3. Connect Ta on controller to D+ on terminal block and Tb on controller to D- on terminal block. Fasten stop
screws.
4. Connect pluggable block back into terminal block.
Make sure both the controller and NVR are grounded.
