Installing the HVG400 System
These are the steps that you will typically follow in order to install the HVG400 system:
1. Place the HVG400 unit in its desired location; see Selecting a Location for the Unit, page 7.
2. Install the video cameras in their desired locations.
3. Install the sensors in their desired locations (optional).
Note: Six sensors can be connected directly to the unit; another 16 can be connected through an ADAM
module or an IA relay board; see Connecting Sensors, page 10.
4. Install a toggle switch in its desired location (optional); the toggle-button switch can be used to change the
active outline; see Connecting Sensors, page 10.
5. Install the activators in their desired locations (optional).
Note: Two activators can be connected directly to the unit; another 16 can be connected through an IA relay
board; see Connecting Activators, page 15.
6. Install a CCTV monitor in its desired location (optional).
Note: If you want to use a mouse to control the TV-Out, place the monitor close to the HVG400 unit, because
the mouse is plugged into the unit, not into the monitor.
7. Install a push-button switch in its desired location (optional); the push-button switch can be used to change the
display on the CCTV monitor, if a monitor is connected to the unit; see Connecting Sensors, page 10.
8. Connect the cameras and other devices to the HVG400 and to a power supply, as required; see Connecting
Devices to the HVG400, page 9.
9. Connect the unit to a LAN using an Ethernet cable (optional); see Connecting the HVG400 to the Network,
page 20.
10. Connect the HVG400 unit to a power source; see Connecting the HVG400 to a Power Source, page 21.
Selecting a Location for the Unit
The HVG400 unit should be placed on a flat surface such as a table or shelf. (It is not designed for mounting
directly on a wall.) Ensure the unit has at least a few centimeters (1–2 inches) of space above it and on all sides for
ventilation.
When choosing a location for the HVG400, bear in mind that the unit must be connected to a power outlet and a
LAN or a PC, and that other devices (cameras, sensors, etc.) must be connected to it. Choose a location in which
these connections are feasible.
