Looping Output Termination
When it is necessary to terminate a looping output, the DVR has built in termination that allows users to select individual outputs. It is
not always necessary to terminate the output; it depends on the device to which you are connecting. As a rule, if the image appears
distorted or virtually unviewable, it likely needs to be terminated.
8/16 Channel
Always leave the dipswitch set to the ON position when the Looping Outputs are not used.
Connecting a PTZ Camera
Setting up a PTZ Camera is simple. The DVR comes preassembled with an internal PTZ adapter. The cabling may be run up to 4,000
ft using 22 Gauge Twisted Pair.
It is important to understand how the PTZ connects to the DVR. The DVR outputs an RS-232 signal and converts in to an RS-422/485
signal which is then sent to the PTZ camera.
Attaching the RS-485 Adapter
1. Locate the PTZ adapter cable.
2. Connect the two wires of the PTZ adapter to the PTZ camera.
The red wire on the adapter should connect to the RX+ on the
PTZ and the brown wire should connect to the RX-.
3. Connect the other end of the adapter to the DVR as shown.
4. Assign the PTZ camera an ID number in PTZ Setup that
coincides with the number assigned to the camera. This is
normally done utilizing a dip-switch configuration method on the
addressable dome.
Tip Toshiba recommends that the ID of the camera coincide to
the input number on the DVR. This will make future
troubleshooting and configuration less complex.
