PREFACE The WJ-FS309 and WJ-FS316 are Black and White Video Multiplexers, and the WJ-FS409 and WJ-FS416 are Color Video Multiplexers designed for use in surveillance security systems combined with cameras, alarm sensors, a Time Lapse VCR, two video monitors and a PC. Spot pictures and image sequences of multiple cameras can be monitored simultaneously on two video monitors. Multiscreen pictures and the Multiscreen sequence pictures can be displayed on Multiscreen monitors.
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 temperature from rising, place the appliance at least 5 cm (2 inches) away from the wall. • Do not drop metallic parts through slots.

SYSTEM CONNECTIONS ■ Basic System Connection The Video Multiplexers WJ-FS309, WJ-FS316, WJ-FS409 and WJ-FS416 are connected with cameras, video monitors and a Time Lapse VCR. A typical connection example is shown below. The ALARM/REMOTE connector is described later.
■ Connection with the Time Lapse VCR Connect the time lapse VCR as shown in the example below.
■ Connection of the Digital Disk Recorder (Example: WJ-HD100) to a Video Multiplexer Connect the Digital Disk Recorder as shown in the example below.
■ Connection with the Monitors Connect the Monitors to the Spot Output (SPOT OUT) Connector and Multiscreen (MULTISCREEN OUT) Output Connector on the rear of the Video Multiplexer. If the cable is locally procured, make sure it is data grade cable suitable for RS-485 communication. A 2wire twisted pair shielded cable, BELDEN 9406 or equivalent should be used. Pin assignments and data flow are shown below. No.
■ ALARM/REMOTE Connector This 25-pin connector connects alarm related control signals and/or remote switch inputs depending on the status of pins #5 and #22. The tables below show the pin assignment for the WJ-FS309/FS409 and WJ-FS316/FS416, respectively.
■ Connection with the Alarm Sensors ■ Connection with the Alarm Output Connect alarm sensors to the ALARM/REMOTE connector. As shown in the tables on page 27, the WJ-FS309/FS409 accepts up to 9 sensors and the WJ-FS316/FS416 up to 16. The sensors should meet the following specifications: 1. Allowable input voltage: Non-voltage contact, or 0 V to 5 V DC 2. Input definition: Specified by ALM INPUT settings, N.O. (Normally Open/Low active) or N.C. (Normally Closed/High active) 3.
■ Connection with the Remote (External) Switches Remote SW1 Function 2 Open or +5V SEQUENCE The Video Multiplexer can be remote controlled if external switches (locally procured) are connected to the ALARM/REMOTE connector. Remote switches, except SEQUENCE, are grouped under Remote SW1 and SW2. For more information refer to the pin assignment tables on page 27.
