Installing the CVG System 6
Installing the CVG System
These are the steps that you will typically follow in order to install the CVG system:
1. Place the CVG unit in its desired location; see Selecting a Location for the Unit, page 6.
2. Install the video cameras in their desired locations.
3. Install a CCTV monitor in its desired location (optional).
4. Install either a dry sensor, a toggle switch (for outline switching), or a push-button switch (for changing the
display on a connected CCTV monitor) in its desired location (optional); see Connecting Sensors, page 11.
5. Install an alarm or other activator in its desired location (optional); see Connecting Activators, page 15.
6. If you are using either an ADAM module to connect additional sensors to the CVG, install the sensors in their
desired locations (optional); see Connecting Sensors, page 11.
7. If you are using an IA relay board to connect additional sensors or activators to the CVG, install them in their
desired locations (optional); see Connecting Sensors and Activators Using an IA Relay Board, page 16.
8. Connect the cameras and other devices to the CVG and to a power supply, as required; see Connecting
Devices to the CVG, page 9.
9. Connect the CVG unit to a LAN; see Connecting the CVG to a Network, page 21.
10. Connect the CVG unit to a power source; see Connecting the CVG to a Power Source, page 22.
Selecting a Location for the Unit
The CVG unit should be placed on a flat surface such as a table or shelf. (It is not designed for mounting directly on
a wall.) Ensure the unit has at least a few centimeters (1–2 inches) of space above it and on all sides for ventilation.
When choosing a location for the CVG, bear in mind that the unit must be connected to a power source and a LAN
or a PC, and that other devices (camera, sensor, etc.) must be connected to it. Choose a location in which these
connections are feasible.
