PREFACE  
The WJ-HD500A Digital Disk Recorder is a combination of  
a Hard Disk Recorder with a Video Multiplexer; it is able to  
record the images of up to sixteen sequentially controlled  
video inputs on the built-in hard disk.  
A multi-recording function records simultaneously several  
images from various applications; this enables you to  
obtain reliable records by selecting the application which is  
best suited for your purpose.  
FEATURES  
• One recorder can handle sixteen video inputs, divid-  
ed into four groups, corresponding to various appli-  
cations.  
Dividing the sixteen video inputs into four groups  
makes it possible to record several images simultane-  
ously, depending on the system requirements, such as  
varied input, image quality, recording time, etc.  
• Easy image search  
Three search modes for quick and easy images search:  
rotating the shuttle ring, recording list and thumbnail  
display.  
• Other handy recording functions  
• Use the program timer to preset the recording time and  
mode for each day of the week.  
• Reliable recording of events  
Obtain reliable records of important events by selecting  
the recording mode best suited.  
• Emergency recording is given priority to record all  
video inputs in Time Lapse Recording while the input is  
received from an outboard device.  
There are three recording modes: One Shot, Multi Shot  
and Time Lapse Recording.  
• Connect the extension units in series for uninterrupted  
recording when the disk is full.

The input power source for this appliance is 120 V AC  
60 Hz.

sure of settings if the AC power supply should fail. The  
battery, if fully charged, will back up the settings for 72  
hours in an ordinary environment.

This could permanently damage the appliance. Turn  
the power off immediately and contact qualified service  
personnel for service.  
• Do not attempt to disassemble the appliance.  
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or  
covers.

Cautions:  
• The cooling fan inside the Disk Recorder is subject to  
wear and needs to be replaced periodically.  
• Do not block the ventilation opening or slots in the  
cover to prevent the appliance from overheating.  
Always keep the temperature in the rack below 45°C  
(113°F).  
• If the rack is subject to vibration, secure the rear of the  
appliance to the rack by using additional mounting  
brackets (procured locally).

■ Connection with the Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)  
• The figure shows an example of how to connect a UPS as protection against power failures.  
• When a power failure detect input is received from the UPS, the disk recorder's power failure process starts to process this  
signal to turn off its power supply.  
• When the power failure process is completed, the disk recorder outputs a signal to the UPS.  
• When the UPS receives the completion signal from the disk recorder, the disk recorder's power is turned off

MIRRORING FUNCTION  
The mirroring function uses an auxiliary array of inexpen-  
sive disks to record the same data on two disks at the same  
time.  
If an error or malfunction occurs on one of the hard disks,  
the other disk still records the data normally. This ensures  
reliability of the system, since the data will always be avail-  
able on one of the disks.  
3. If the Disk Recorder is powered up successfully, the  
displays as shown below will appear.  
Press the SETUP/ESC button within five seconds, and  
the DISK MENU shown below will appear on the moni-

HARD DISK and RECORDING  
The WJ-HD500A Hard Disk Recorder records the images on the Hard Disk as shown below, dividing space into six disk sec-  
tors.  
There are three recording modes, Time Lapse, Multi Shot and One Shot, to obtain reliable records by selecting the mode best  
suited for your purpose.  
■ Hard Disk  
As described above, the divided hard disks are used for each recording method (Manual, Internal Programmed Timer, etc.),  
as shown below.  
Hard Disk (HDD)  
Manual Recorder  
Group 1  
Group 2  
Group 3

Power on recording is also enabled by selecting [EXT] for the timer.  
• Timer Recorder  
Records the assigned camera group input with the internal timer in three recording modes by selecting [INT] for timer.  
The same camera input can not be assigned to another group.  
• Emergency Recorder  
This recording is given priority to record all video inputs in Time Lapse Recording while the input is received from an out-  
board device.  
Note: With the above method, the hard disk space is divided into imaginary sectors, but there are no partitions. For this  
reason, there is no pre-determined disk space for each recorder.

Post-recording is the recorded images after the input of the alarm signal.  
The Multi Shot Recording mode is a setting that can be assigned with the program timer.  
The Multi Shot Recording mode records images on the Timer Recorder, corresponding to the alarm input signal, as shown  
below.  
For example, camera inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4 are assigned to a group.

time comes, and continues until the reserved end time is  
reached.  
The reservations are made in the TIMER REC SETUP menu,  
and the TIMER parameter is set to INT in the WJ-HD500  
SETUP menu.  
The video signal supplied to the VIDEO IN connectors is  
recorded in Time Lapse Recording mode with the parame-  
ters which were preset in the MANUAL REC SETUP menu:  
recording mode, field rate and image quality.  
The following procedure describes how to record manually  
in the selected mode.  
As described before, the received video inputs can be  
assigned to four groups, and those groups are assigned to  
the programmed timer.  
It enables the use of different recording modes for each  
group (Time Lapse, Multi Shot or One Shot), depending on  
the requirements for the surveillance environment.

■ Alarm Recording for Internal Timer Modes  
As described before, there are three recording modes for Timer Recording: Time Lapse, Multi Shot and One Shot Recording.  
Two of these, Multi Shot and One Shot recording, are event-recording functions reacting to an alarm input. Therefore, there is  
no difference compared to an alarm recording.  
The procedure described below is an example for alarm recording in the Time Lapse Recording mode.  
• Time Lapse Recording  
When the Time Lapse Recording mode is selected for Timer recording, it records the alarm-activated images in this mode  
with the specified recording rate, image quality and duration, as shown below.  
The recording pattern varies according to the setting of the Dynamic Recording parameter (DYNAMIC REC).  
(If the camera inputs 2, 4 and 5 are assigned to a group.)  
• Set to OFF  
Records the group input images in sequence starting with the lower number of the video input.
