The audio output is a low level signal that requires an amplified speaker (see Specifications).
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP CAUTION Do not exceed the maximum input voltage or the relay switching rate. Refer to specifications in this manual for more information. Voltage type sensor wiring schematic Relay type sensor wiring schematic To connect a sensor to the encoder: 1. Route sensor wiring to the encoder. 2.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Digital out wiring schematic To connect digital out reporting device to the encoder: 1. Route leads from the digital out devices to the encoder. 2. Strip 1/4” of insulation from one device’s signal and ground wires and insert them into the lower terminal block in the DO ch 1 and DO GND pin locations, respectively. 3.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP 2. Strip 1/4” of insulation from DATA+, DATA-, and GND wires from the device and insert them into the lower terminal block RS-485 D+, RS-485 D-, and RS-485 GND pins, respectively, as shown in the schematic above. 2.4.5 RS-232C device connection The RS-232C encoder interface can be connected to some devices, such as a Point of Sale (POS) terminal. The wiring signal polarity and ground to the upper terminal block are shown in the schematic below.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP LAN DC12V Power LAN and power connections Overvoltage and overcurrent will cause severe damage to the encoder. CAUTION 2.5 Install IPAdmin Tool The IPAdmin Tool, included on the CD mini disk, is a utility that will discover cameras and encoders installed on your network and enable you to perform the initial network setup for each.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP 2.6 Configure the encoder network settings Devices attached to a Local Area Network (LAN) are each assigned a unique address (IP address) that they use when sending messages with each other. No two devices on a single Ethernet network can have the same IP address. Otherwise, addressing conflicts will occur.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Check the list of devices found by IPAdmin Tool. You can identify your encoder by the MAC addresses. The MAC addresses are assigned during manufacture and can be found on the label on the underside of the unit. In this example, the IP addresses were acquired through DHCP. The IP addresses you see with your encoder will probably be different from those seen above. The Rack Info field “M” number is directly associated with the Vin channel (M0 for Vin1, M1 for Vin2, etc.).
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Static Option 4. In the IP Setup window, click the Static option bullet to select this option. If you have other compatible network settings you want to apply to the device, enter them in the appropriate locations. Click Setup to save settings, then click OK to confirm the change to network settings. 5. In the Login window, enter the ID and PW (password) for your encoder and click Login. The default administrator values for the ID and PW are root and pass.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP 2.6.2 Configuring encoders on networks without DHCP Encoders installed on a network without a DHCP server will initially use the factory default static network settings for each IP channel: IP address: Subnet mask: Gateway: 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 In networks without a DHCP server, encoders must be powered on and reconfigured one at a time to avoid addressing conflicts between other encoders, or possibly with another device on the network.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP d. Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for your PC’s Ethernet adapter into Table 1. The Ethernet adapter data you see by using ipconfig will probably be different from that shown in the example above. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, the IP address is identified as the “IPv4 Address.” NOTE Table 2.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP In the example shown above, the message “Reply from 192.168.5.75: ..” indicates that your PC can reach the device with that IP address, and that address is in use (i.e., you cannot use it for your encoder). d. Since the ping test of the IP address we tried showed the address was in use, try another number between 1 and 254. For example, let’s ping 192.168.5.20. At the DOS prompt, enter: ping 192.168.5.20 e.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP The “Request timed out” response indicates that the IP address is not in use and the encoder can be connected without causing errors. Attach your encoder to the network and power it on Apply power to the encoder. When the encoder powers on, it performs an internal initialization, then establishes a connection to the LAN. Wait until the initialization process completes before continuing. It may take up to 3 minutes for your encoder to initialize.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Vin Channel Initial IP Address (no DHCP) R0, B0, M0 Vin1 192.168.0.100: 00:13:23:D4:D1:45 R0, B0, M1 Vin2 192.168.0.100 00:13:23:D4:D1:46 R0, B0, M2 Vin3 192.168.0.100 00:13:23:D4:D1:47 R0, B0, M3 Vin4 192.168.0.100 00:13:23:D4:D1:48 Rack Info MAC Address If an encoder channel was not found, click the Refresh button every minute until the four channels for your encoder appear in the list. 2.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP 4. In the Login window, enter the ID and PW (password) for your encoder, then click Login. The default administrator ID and PW are root and pass. After entering the ID and PW, the IP Setup window closes. 5. In the IPAdmin Tool window, click Refresh and verify that the entry representing the encoder R0,B0,M0 rack address now shows the new IP address. 6. Repeat the steps above to setup the IP addresses of the remaining three IP channels of your encoder. 2.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Typical initial camera view through the encoder NOTE 5. If, after logging into your encoder, you cannot see live video and the message: “Can not Create XMLDOMDocument Install MSXML4.0” appears, download and install the MS XML 4.0 library.
