The WJ-DR200 AV Disc Recorder can record up to

28,000 freeze pictures with a resolution of 720 x 480

(Fine Mode) on a large capacity optical disc (DVD-

RAM).

It can be set up to respond automatically to a sensor or

alarm signal by recording the associated pictures.

PREFACE

• Records clear freeze pictures

Applies 3D Scan Conversion to record blur-com-

pensated, clear freeze pictures from moving

images. Vertical resolution is nearly double that of

conventional VCR pictures.

• Reliable recording of events

Obtain reliable records of important events by

selecting the recording mode best suited for your

purpose. There are three recording modes:

Single Shot Recording: Records a single freeze pic-

ture.

Multi Shot Recording: Records a continuous series

of freeze pictures.

Time Lapse Recording: Records freeze pictures at

regular intervals.

FEATURES

• Easy picture search

Three search modes for quick and easy picture

search.

List Search: Searches a list by recording date and

time.

Thumbnail Search: Searches displayed thumbnail

images of recorded pictures.

Direct Search: Searches by a recording date and

time or record number directly specified by the

user.

• Other handy recording functions

• Use the program timer function to preset the

recording time and mode for each day of the

week.

• Two video input channels for simultaneous

recording of images from two cameras.

• Connect two Disc Recorders in series for unin-

terrupted recording when the disc of one

recorder is full.

PRECAUTIONS

• Refer all work related to the installation of this

product to qualified service personnel or system

installers.

• Do not block the ventilation opening or slots on

the cover.

To prevent the appliance from overheating, place it

at least 5 cm (2 inches) away from the wall.

• Do not drop metallic parts through slots.

This could permanently damage the appliance. Turn

the power off immediately and contact qualified ser-

vice personnel for service.

• Do not attempt to disassemble the appliance.

To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or

covers.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Contact

qualified service personnel for maintenance.

• Handle the appliance with care.

Do not strike or shake, as this may damage the

appliance.

• Fully charge up the backup battery.

Keep the appliance turned on for at least 48 hours

to recharge the backup battery. This procedure is

necessary when using the appliance for the first

time or after it has been unplugged for a long time

from the AC outlet. Insufficient charging of the bat-

tery may cause erasure of settings if the AC power

supply should fail. The battery, if fully charged, will

back up the settings for 480 hours in an ordinary

environment.

• We recommend that you note down your settings

and retain them. Power or battery failure may

erase settings you entered.

• Do not expose the appliance to water or mois-

ture, nor try to operate it in wet areas.

Do take immediate action if the appliance becomes

wet. Turn the power off and refer servicing to quali-

fied service personnel. Moisture may damage the

appliance and also cause electric shock.

• Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when

cleaning the appliance body.

Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance when it is

dirty.

When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild deter-

gent and wipe gently.

• Do not operate the appliance beyond its speci-

fied temperature, humidity or power source rat-

ings.

Do not use the appliance in an extreme environment

where high temperature or high humidity exists.

Use the appliance at temperatures within +5°C -

+40°C (41°F - 104°F) and a humidity below 90 %.

The input power source for this appliance is 120 V

AC 60 Hz.

Requirements for alarm and sensor input are as follows:

• Open collector output or no-voltage make contact

• The voltage between Ground and Alarm Input or Sensor Input when the circuit closes must be 0 to 0.2 V. The polarities

can be changed by setting the SIGNAL TYPE parameter in the Alarm Recording menu.

Notes:

• Recording of freeze pictures from VCR playback is not provided as a function. Recording is possible, but the results

may not be satisfactory depending on the type of VCR used.

• When the Disc Recorder is connected to several cameras, for example through a multiplexer, all camera inputs must be

synchronized to obtain proper images.

Refer all connection work to qualified service personnel or system installers.

■ Connection with Video Multiplexer

Example: Connection with Video Multiplexer WJ-FS616

Note: Refer connection with a Video Multiplexer other than the WJ-FS616 to qualified service personnel or system installers.

Cautions:

Noise may appear in the monitor image and the audio may be interrupted under the following circumstances:

• Faulty camera synchronization, causing large frequency deviations between individual cameras

• Picture experiencing abrupt changes in brightness

• Faulty timing in switching input and recording of video signals (for example, a sequential switcher is not used for the

camera switching output of the disc recorder, or switching is out of synchronization due to an alarm condition)

● Series Recording 2

(Alternate Time Lapse Recording)

Connect the terminals on the Terminal Boards of the MASTER and SLAVE Recorder as shown below.

When there is no more recording space on the disc of the MASTER recorder, time lapse recording switches to the

SLAVE recorder. For uninterrupted recording, the disc of the MASTER recorder can be exchanged while recording is

switched to the SLAVE recorder.

(Up to 16 recorders including the MASTER recorder can be connected to record sequentially.)

(Auxiliary Alarm Recording)

An auxiliary record is made on the SLAVE recorder when a second alarm signal is received while the MASTER recorder

is recording. This function is not available while the MASTER recorder is in an operating mode other than Alarm

Recording (playback, search, etc.).

Connect the required video and audio input to both recorders.

For sensor input, connect the SENSOR IN instead of the ALARM IN terminals.
