• When connecting in cascading connection, all cables used to connect to the monitor connector shall be HDMI cables only or
BNC cables only. Do not use them together.
• Do not assign the same unit address to two or more different PS·Data compatible devices.
• Set the unit address (system) of the recorders to "1" to "5".
• In cascading connection, the time of recorders is automatically adjusted to that of the recorder whose unit address (system)
is set to "1".
• When connecting in cascading connection, all recorders shall be WJ-HD616K.
