camera-newbie 0 Posted April 29, 2012 Ok.. So I'm trying to connect my Optex/Inovonics hardware to the Avigilon encoder I've been running for a while now and want to make sure I'm following the directions on the wire connections. First of all : The Inovonics receiver is the EN4216MR -- installation manual is here. The Avigilon encoder manual is here. The Avigilon manual states for inputs : To activate, connect the Input to the Ground pin. To deactivate, leave disconnected or apply between 3-15 V. The Inovonics manual indicates (figure 4) that there are 6 form-C relay connections -- either normally open or normally closed. I'm thinking that I need to connect pin2 of the Avigilon (ground) to something but will admit that I'm not sure how to proceed.. I suspect it's super simple but want to ensure I don't nuke my not-so-cheap hardware. Can someone point me in the right direction? My first hunch is that the ground/common from the Avigilon box should be switched back around to input 1 on itself -- with it running between the common and NO connections on the Inovonics receiver module.. Is that about right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted April 29, 2012 You have the h.264 encoder correct? They take a dry contact in put and if I remember correctly 2 is the ground and 3 is input 1 My Inovonics receiver will be here Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camera-newbie 0 Posted April 29, 2012 Yes.. your pinouts are correct as well.. I've never wired a dry-contact type of switch before and only a handful of relays in my days. hence my concern with doing it correctly. Overall, Optex/Inovonics stuff seems to be well built.. I wish the Optex HX40 had a bit more metal in it -- it'll be interesting to see how it fairs in the UV even if it is an outdoor rated item. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
