Before Installing the Intellex

Safety Guidelines

• Ensure that installation work complies with electrical, fire, safety, communication, and building

codes and ordinances.

• Install the Intellex in a clean, dry location, where temperature and humidity are within product

specifications.

• Install the Intellex away from Electrical Magnetic Inducing (EMI) equipment, such as electrical

generators, motors, unshielded speakers, and high voltage cables.

• Allow adequate all-around clearance and accessibility for cables, peripherals, ventilation,

maintenance, and operation.

• Ensure that equipment is mounted level and securely.

• Ensure that equipment has a stable AC power source.

• Use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit is highly recommended. UPS units protect

critical computing systems from power fluctuations and losses that may cause loss of data or

damage to the system.

• Install surge protectors on all power cables to protect against severe power fluctuations.

• Check the product label for power supply requirements to assure that no overloading of power

supply circuits or overcurrent protection occurs.

• Ensure that fans undergo periodic, scheduled maintenance and remain free and clear of dust.

• Electrical grounding must be reliable and uncompromised by any connections.

Note

The power supply automatically detects 115 or 230 volts input and has no power switch.

• Locate product documentation and software, and keep in a safe and accessible location.

• For all rack-mounted electrical equipment, ensure adequate air flow around the unit for safe

operation. The maximum temperature for rack-mounted units is 35° C or 95° F.

Note

Refer to the Intellex Ultra Quick Setup Guide for a visual overview of system contents, how to set

up and connect the components, and how to power up the unit.

Environmental Requirements

Caution

Intellex Operating Temperature Range

The specified operating temperature range for the Intellex Ultra is 5° C to 35° C (41° F to 95° F). The product

meets all functional specifications in this temperature range, and all of the internal components are within their

manufacturers’ specified temperature limits. Extended operation at elevated temperatures reduces the life of

electronic components and reduces overall system reliability. It is recommended that the ambient temperature be

maintained at 15°

C to 24° C (59° F to 75° F) to maximize the life of the electronic components. The ambient

temperature is the air temperature in the immediate vicinity of the chassis. For example, if the chassis is mounted in

a rack or lock box, the ambient temperature is the air temperature within the rack or lock box.

Printer DB25-S. Parallel printer output. All

Serial DB9-P. Dome controller (Sensormatic VM16 or American

Dynamics ADTT16) input.

All

SCSI-3 High density 68-pin female connector. For use with

external storage devices.

Optional

Network RJ-45. Category 3 or Category 5 twisted-pair Ethernet

(CAT 3 TPE or CAT 5 TPE) connector.

All

Microphone Compatible with dynamic, condenser, and electret

microphones. Line input is compatible with 1 Vrms line

level audio sources.

All (optional on IP)

Connector Use Applies to

Intellex:

Input 100 - 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, less than 5A

Requires IEC-320-C13 plug

Temperature 41–95° F (5–35° C)

Humidity 5–95% RH noncondensing

Storage temperature 14° –140° F (10–60° C)

Rack-mounted Intellex

Do not modify any BIOS or system settings or reconfigure any hard drives. During power-up, the

Intellex splash screen appears. During initial power-up, a message may appear. Do not press

buttons on the front panel or keys on the keyboard until this screen and message disappears,

which may take 2 minutes. Otherwise, you may interrupt the start-up process and affect the unit’s

operation. Double-clicking the Intellex icon during the start-up process can lock the Intellex or

cause it to go into an unrecoverable condition.

Installing Hardware

Connecting Cameras and Peripherals

Caution

Protect the unit against lightning. If part of a cable is installed outside a building, the entire cable is

vulnerable to lightning. Install surge protectors on all vulnerable cables.

Video Devices

1 Connect the cameras:

a Connect the video cables from the cameras to the left BNC connector of each pair of

connectors on the rear of the unit.

b Terminate the video using the switches at each BNC connector (8-camera system) or the

Intellex Setup screen. If you use the switches to select the 75

Ω termination, select Hi-Z

from the Intellex Setup screen. See

page 19.

Note

To use the Intellex Setup screen to select the 75 Ω termination, set the switches at each BNC to

infinity.

2 Connect any External Storage Modules (ESMs) through the Firewire connectors.

3 Connect the VGA cable from an SVGA monitor to the VGA monitor connector.

Installing Hardware

10 Intellex® Ultra

4 Connect an optional call monitor to the BNC connector on the Call Monitor board to see live

video from a single camera (call mode) or from alarmed cameras in sequence (spot mode).

Connecting Audio Devices (optional)

1 Connect the microphone or audio source to the Intellex unit through the color-coded 3.5 mm

audio connectors on the back of the unit.

For the best quality sound, use a pre-amplifier with appropriate filtering with a compatible

microphone.
