Installation  
This installation should be made by qualified service personnel or system installers.  
Cautions  
Places to avoid  
• Direct exposure to sunlight or near a source of heat such as a radiator.  
• Very dirty and dusty places. Places subject to strong vibrations.  
• Near a transformer, dimmer, video player, radio, or monitor. These may cause humming noises, etc.  
About mounting  
• Do not block the ventilation openings or slots in the cover to prevent the appliance from overheating.  
• Always keep the temperature in the rack within +45°C (113°F).  
• Secure the rear of the appliance to the rack with additional mounting brackets (procured locally), if the rack is subject to  
vibration.  
Installing the Hard Disk  
There is space for up to 8 hard disks.  
The unit is provided with four IDE interfaces, allowing installation of up to eight hard disks.  
1. Turning off the power.  
Please check the rear of the unit and confirm that the power switch is turned off, the power cord has been disconnected,  
and the [OPERATE] indicator is off.  
2. Remove the top cover.  
Remove four screws on the side panel and five screws at the rear to remove the top cover (see Fig. 1).  
HDD fixing  
frames  
Fig. 1  
Fig. 2  
3. Remove the hard disk fixing frame.  
Of the five hard disk fixing frames, the three frames nearest the front panel can accept two hard disks each. The two  
frames near the rear panel will accept one hard disk each.  
If you need to remove a hard disk fixing frame, be careful not to damage the fan connection terminal and the hard disk  
cable. (Fig. 2)  
11  
4. Ready the hard disk and install wire jumpers.  
To connect two hard disks to one IDE interface, make sure to designate one as the Master HDD and the other the Slave  
HDD. If only one hard disk is connected, make this the Master HDD. (For connection of the Master and Slave HDD, refer to  
the operating instructions of the hard disk.)  
Pay attention to the following when choosing the connection position of the Master and Slave HDD.  
(1) When connecting two hard disks to IDE port 1, make the one on the left the Master and the one on the right the Slave,  
as seen from the front of the recorder. See Fig. 3.  
(2) When connecting three pairs of hard disks to IDE port 0, 2 and 3 (6 in total), make the top one the Master and the bot-  
tom one the Slave (see Figs. 3 and 5).

Note: Port 0 was installed to the two disks installed model. Port 0 and 1 were installed to the four disks installed model.  
(For the relation between hard disk positions refer to the figure above or the explanation on hard disk management on  
page 47.)  
5. Insert the hard disk into the hard disk fixing frame.  
Fix it with four screws at the side of the frame. (Fig. 4, 5)

6. Insert the hard disk fixing frame in the proper location inside the recorder and fix it with a screw (Fig. 6). (Be careful not to  
damage the fan connection terminal and hard disk cable.)  
Fig. 6  
Fig. 7  
12  
7. Connect the flat hard disk data cable and power cord (Fig. 7).  
Seen from the front of the recorder, the IDE interface is numbered 0, 1, 2, 3 from left to right. Connect the four power sup-  
ply ports and four IDE data ports on the motherboard with the correspondingly numbered hard disk connectors.  
(For the relation between hard disk positions refer to the figure above or the explanation on hard disk management on  
page 47.)  
8. Follow the same procedure to install other hard disks.  
Note: Up to eight hard disks can be installed.  
9. Replace the top cover. (Refer to Fig. 1)  
10. For formatting hard disks refer to page 47 of these Operating Instructions.

PC/AT Compatible  
1. Broadband router A can only connect one WJ-RT208. (Each WJ-RT208 should  
be assigned a Global IP address.)  
2. Broadband router B can only connect one PC/AT compatible machine.  
(Each compatible machine should be assigned a global IP address.)  
Caution: The number of clients that can be connected to each WJ-RT208 is defined in the next table. According to differences  
in the network communication protocol, the number of clients that can be connected can differ. In the next table, the num-  
ber of clients that can be connected is defined for the TCP/UDP protocol and the MCAST protocol, independently of each  
other.

• Connection with PS·Data systems  
This is an example of connection when the unit is used together with the PS·Data devices.  
If a connected system controller is PS·Data compatible, it is possible to operate this unit or connected devices using the sys-  
tem controller.  
Use the RS485 cable provided with the system controller.  
Important:  
• Terminate both devices on both ends of the connection. Refer to the respective operating instructions for the descriptions  
of how to terminate. Termination of this unit can be set with the DIP termination switch on the rear panel. (See page 21.)  
• When connecting a PS·Data compatible device, it is necessary to set each item of "DATA PORT SETUP" of "COMMUNICA-  
TION SETUP" on the "WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" according to the system configuration.  
• The following are available PS·Data compatible devices.  
• System controller: WV-CU650  
• Matrix switcher: WJ-SX150  
• Data multiplex unit: WJ-MP204  
(Any other PS·Data compatible devices are not to be connected.)

2.4 Operations for Events  
2.3.2 Playback the record  
(1) FWD/REV playback  
2.4.1 Event type  
Terminal Alarm: An event input to be entered from a sen-  
sor to the TERMINAL port of this unit.  
Motion Detection: An event to sense and record the move-  
ment of an object with the aid of the motion detector  
function (refer to Cautions below).  
Press the [FWD] button, [REV] button, or direction but-  
ton (left/right) during playback.  
Each time one of these buttons is pressed, the  
FWD/REV speed is changed.  
The playback speed is displayed in the status display  
area in the upper left of the screen.  
>>, >>>>, >>>>>>: Fast-forward playback  
<<, <<<<, <<<<<<: Fast-rewind playback  
When the [PLAY] button is pressed, playback is per-  
formed at a regular speed.  
Cautions:  
1. The external alarm input or the motion detector alarm  
input is a signal to start recording. If an alarm arises  
during recording, recording is just continued.  
2. When the motion detector function senses the move-  
ment of an object, the sensor generates a signal output  
by sensing the variation in brightness.  
Note: The FWD and REV speeds are set up with "I Frame  
Inter." and "Frame Rate" of the "WJ-RT208 SETUP  
MENU" – "SYSTEM MANAGEMENT" – "SYSTEM SETUP"  
menu.  
Video Loss: Loss of a video signal caused as a result of  
camera signal cable disconnection or camera malfunc-  
tion.  
Method of calculation:  
(>>,<<) = "I Frame Inter." x denominator of "Frame  
Rate"  
2.4.2 Action at an event  
(>>>>,<<<<) = "I Frame Inter." x denominator of  
"Frame Rate" x 2  
When an event occurs, this unit identifies the event and an

Example 2: When "4" is set for "I Frame Inter." and  
"1/2F" is set for "Frame Rate":  
Caution: Automatic resetting is set up so that an alarm  
action is automatically finished after the lapse of a  
specified time after the event occurs. This time set-  
ting is made with the menu shown below.  
"WJ-RT208 SETUP MENU" - "REC & EVENT" - "TER-  
MINAL REC" - "Alarm Time"

3.3 Backup by External HDD  
This unit can record a data backup with an external HDD  
including a 2.5-inch external hard disk. (Usually, an exter-  
nal hard disk can be used.) In order to avoid data loss due  
to hard disk malfunction or sudden accidents, we recom-  
mend recorded data backup with external media.  
Notes:  
1. When an external HDD is used, initialization is usually  
unnecessary. The data on the external HDD are deleted  
during data backup. Prior to starting data backup,  
therefore, it is necessary to examine if any important  
data are contained on the external HDD.  
2. If the connection cable is pulled out in the middle of  
data backup, the external HDD may be damaged. The  
connection cable can be pulled out only if data backup  
is completed and the appropriate prompt dialog box is  
displayed.  
Caution: All record data from the starting time till the  
ending time are displayed.  
Up to 5 000 record data can be displayed.  
When there are 5 000 records or more for the chan-  
nel to be played, the latest 5 000 records will be  
subject to be played.  
3. Connect the external hard disk to the COPY1 connector  
at the back or the COPY2 connector on the front. It is  
impossible to connect the external hard disk to both  
connectors at the same time.

normal data backup cannot be done.  
2. Confirm that data backup is completed. Then, dis-  
connect the external memory unit.
