CONNECTING RELAY DEVICES

WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum ratings: 30 VDC, 2 A; 125 VAC, 0.5 A.

Consider the following when wiring the connector:

Use a 16–26 AWG (0.14 to 1.5 mm2) wire that is rated for 250 V or higher. The insulation must be thick enough to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Strip the relay control wire to 0.3 inches (7.6 mm).

Insert the wire far enough into the connector so that the metal is not exposed.

Install an external, more powerful relay when you are using a relay with a higher load.

The unit includes one 6-pin relay control terminal block (for the DVR5104 and DVR5108) and two 6-pin relay control terminal blocks (for the DVR5116). These blocks have tension clamps. Use a small screwdriver to open the clamp for a particular lead. Figure 16 illustrates how to wire the relay control terminal block and connect it to the DVR5100.

NOTE: The terminal block is keyed and attaches only one way to the DVR5100.

Table E identifies the pin assignments for the relay control terminal blocks. Pin 1 is the top lead on the terminal block. Figure 17 on page 23 illustrates how to wire the relay with its power source to the DVR5100.

Additionally, the DVR5100 features customizable recording settings. Users can choose from various recording modes – continuous, scheduled, or event-triggered – to best suit their surveillance needs. The inclusion of motion detection technology further enhances its functionality, allowing the system to capture footage only when activity is detected, thus conserving storage space and reducing the clutter of non-critical recordings.

The user interface of the DVR5100 is designed with simplicity in mind, offering intuitive navigation through its menus and settings. This ease of use is complemented by comprehensive search features, enabling quick retrieval of recorded videos based on time, date, or event type.

In summary, the Pelco DVR5100 is a robust digital video recorder that excels in providing high-quality surveillance capabilities, advanced compression technologies, and user-friendly features.
