SECTION 2

Installation and Setup

2.1 What’s in the box

Your encoder includes the following:

• BLK-IPE4101 encoder

• 12 V DC power adapter

• 6-pin terminal blocks (2)

• 8-pin terminal blocks (2)

• Hardware installation kit including mounting brackets (2), screws (4), and wall inserts (2)

• CD mini disk with application software, software manual, and encoder user manual (this document)

2.2 Tools you need

To install the encoder, you will need:

• Phillips #2 screwdriver

• Drill 1/4” drill bit

• PC with Microsoft®Windows®XP SP3 or newer, 32- or 64-bit system

2.3 Install the encoder

1. Determine where the encoder will be mounted and record the 4 (one for each IP channel) Media Access Control (MAC)

address of the encoder. The MAC address can be found on a label on the underside of the encoder and are listed as channel 1

(top) to channel 4 (bottom). Record the information in the following table.

Location:

Channel 1 MAC address:

Channel 2 MAC address:

Channel 3 MAC address:

Channel 4 MAC address:

NOTE The Channel 1 MAC address is associated with the Vin1 analog input, Channel 2 MAC address is associated with the

Vin2 analog input, etc.

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP

2. Slide the mounting brackets provided in the hardware kit into the slots on the side of the encoder.

3. Do one of the following:

—If the mounting surface is a hard material, use the 1/2” self-tapping mounting screws provided in the hardware kit to

secure the encoder to the surface.

—If the mounting surface is a soft material:

i. Using the encoder with the mounting brackets as a template, mark the location of the mounting screw holes.

ii. Drill 1/4” holes in the location of the mounting screw holes for the wall inserts provided in the hardware kit.

iii. Tap the wall inserts into the holes until they are ush with the surface.

iv. Use the 1-1/8” screws provided in the hardware kit to secure the encoder to the surface.

4. Connect an analog signal source (camera video) to the Vin BNC connector on the front of the encoder.

2.4 Connections

Connections to the encoder for audio in and out (microphone Ain and speaker, Aout), sensor in (DI), alarm (DO), video out BNC,

RS-232C, and RS-485 control are made through two 8-pin terminal blocks and two 6-pin terminal blocks. The terminal blocks may

be detached from the encoder. Plug the four blocks into the connectors on the back of the encoder.

2.4.1 Audio in/out connections (Ain, Aout, channels 1 - 4)

The encoder includes an interface for a mono audio input (from a microphone) and a mono audio output (to a speaker) for each

channel. The audio output is a low level signal that requires an amplied speaker (see Specications).

To connect a speaker and/or microphone to the encoder:

1. Route speaker and/or microphone wiring to the encoder.

2. Strip 1/4” of insulation from the wires speaker signal and ground wires and insert them into the lower 6-pin terminal block

on the Aout and Aout Ground pins, respectively.

3. Strip 1/4” of insulation from the microphone signal and ground wires and insert them into the upper 6-pin terminal block on

the Ain and Ain Ground pins, respectively.

2.4.2 Sensor in connection (DI, channels 1 - 4)

The encoder provides four input channels for sensors, one for each channel. The sensors can be either all voltage or all relay type

sensors. For voltage type sensors, see Specications for allowable voltage levels. The conguration of each sensor input wiring is

illustrated in the diagrams below.

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP

CAUTION

Do not exceed the maximum input voltage or the relay switching rate. Refer to specications 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. Strip 1/4” of insulation from one sensor’s sense and ground wires and insert them into the upper 8-pin terminal block in the

DI (for channel 1, 2, 3, or 4) and DI Ground pin locations, respectively.

3. Strip 1/4” of insulation from another sensor’s sense and ground wires and insert them into the upper 8-pin terminal block in

the Ground pin locations, respectively.

2.4.3 Digital out (DO) connection

The encoder supports up to four digital out connections to reporting devices in the conguration shown in the schematic below.
