NVR User Manual Perform degaussing regularly to ensure proper operating of the monitors. Keep the monitors away from devices that generate strong electromagnetic interference. Power off the device after operating for a period to extend the service life of the device. 2.5 Audio Input and Output Connections (AIN and AOUT) Generally, the audio output signal parameter of the NVR is larger than 200 mV 1K. The NVR can be connected to external lowimpedance headsets and active sound boxes directly or connected to other sound output devices through power amplification drives. When the NVR is not isolated from external sound boxes or audio monitoring units, output squealing may occur. In this case, take the following measures: l Adjust the volume of the sound box to be smaller than the threshold at which output squealing occurs. l Adjust the layout of the audio monitoring units and sound boxes. l Use soundabsorbing materials during decoration to reduce the reflection of sound and improve the acoustic environment. l Use audio monitoring units with superb directionality. 2.6 Alarm Output Connections 1. Alarm output interface (one alarm output) l As shown in the figure, COM1 is the common ground terminal, NC1 is the normally closed output terminal, and NO1 is the normally open output terminal. l Power supplies must be connected to external alarm devices for the Boolean alarm output (NO contact). l Grounding alarms are generated when the alarm circuit is directly connected to the ground. l To protect the host against overload, read the relay parameters on the alarm output side in the following table before cable connection.
