PREFACE
The Digital Disk Recorders WJ-HD316/309 are designed for
use within a surveillance system and are a combination of a
hard disk recorder and a video multiplexer (16-input for the
WJ-HD316, 9-input for the WJ-HD309).
The digital hard disk recorder is a recording device using a
hard disk drive to record camera pictures instead of using
videotapes so that pictures recorded by repeated overwrit-
ing will not cause deterioration of the recorded picture qual-
ity. Up to 16 cameras can be connected to the WJ-HD316
directly (up to 9 cameras to the WJ-HD309) and it is possi-
ble to record their camera pictures. It is also possible to
display four or more camera pictures on a single monitor, to
switch camera pictures, and to operate cameras using this
unit.
FEATURES
Various Recording Functions
Remote Operation via Network
• Multi-Recording
It is possible to operate this unit using a PC connected to a
LAN (Local Area Network) or the Internet by the featured
network function.
It is possible to perform multiple recording using a sin-
gle digital disk recorder even if the operating environ-
ments are different, for example, recording pictures of
cameras in different places at different times.
Security Function and Reliability
• Schedule recording
• Authentication function (registration of ID and pass-
word) allows users access to a predetermined selection
of the available functions. Up to 32 users can be regis-
tered.
It is possible to perform recording automatically at a
scheduled time on a designated day of the week.
Schedules can be set on each camera.
• Emergency Recording
• If alteration of a recorded image data is made for any
reason, the alteration alert function will announce it.
In case of emergency, emergency recording will be
given a higher priority than other recording modes by
operating an external switch.
• If a hard disk crashes, the backup function*1, the mirror-
ing function*2 and the RAID 5 function*3 prevent there
being any data loss.
• External Timer Recording
It is possible to perform recording automatically using
an external timer.
*1: Only when the recommended DVD-RAM drive, DVD-R
drive or CD-R drive is used
*2: The mirroring function does not work with an external
hard disk drive such as an extension unit.
*3: To use the RAID 5 function, an optional extension unit is
required.
• Event Recording
At an event occurrence, such as when an alarm signal
is supplied, the recording mode (quality and recording
rate) can be changed to high quality to record pictures.
• Motion Detection Function (VMD)
It is possible to start recording automatically when
motion is detected in a shooting area.
Transmission with Coaxial Cable, PS·Data and
RS485 Compatible
• It is possible to control a Panasonic combination cam-
era such as the WV-CS850 using only a coaxial cable
but not other devices. Using a coaxial cable also com-
pensates for transmission loss.
• It is easy to establish the surveillance system by con-
necting a PS·Data compatible system controller and
peripherals.
Frame Switcher Function
• It is possible to display pictures of four or more cam-
eras on a single monitor (multi-screen) splitting the
monitor screen into 4, 7, 9, 10, 13, or 16 sections using
the WJ-HD316, and into 4, 7, or 9 sections using the
WJ-HD309.
While monitoring a multi-screen, each camera picture
will be displayed as a moving image.

PRECAUTIONS
• Refer all work related to the installation of these
products to qualified service personnel or system
installers.
Hard disk drives are perishable. They will need to be
replaced after around 20 000 - 30 000 hours of opera-
tion in case they are used at temperature of 25 °C
(77 °F).
• Do not operate the appliances beyond their speci-
fied temperature, humidity, or power source ratings.
Use the appliance at temperatures within +5°C -
+45°C (41°F - 133°F) and humidity below 85 %.
The input power source for this appliance is 120 V AC
60 Hz.
Replacement costs of the hard disk drives are not cov-
ered by the warranty even if it needs to be done within
the warranty period. Consult your dealer for servicing.
Set all the hard disk drives as master using the jumper
pin. Refer to the diagram attached on the HDD or the
operating instructions of the HDD for the jumper pin
assignment.
• Handle the appliance with care.
Do not strike or shake, as this may damage the appli-
ance.
When hard disk drive trouble occurs, replace it immedi-
ately. Consult your dealer for servicing.
When replacing the hard disk drives, take notice that
the following.
• Do not strike or give a strong shock to the unit.
It may cause damage or allow water to enter the unit.
Do not detach the hard disk drives or the cables con-
necting the unit and the front cover while the
HDD1/HDD2 indicators are lit or for around 30 seconds
after the indicators go off.
• Built-in backup battery
Before the first use, charge the built-in backup battery
by turning on the power for 48 hours or more.
If it is not charged enough, in a case where the power
goes down, the internal clock may keep bad time or the
operative condition may be different to that before the
electric power failure.
The built-in battery life is approximately 5 years. Ask the
shop where you purchased the unit when replacement
of the battery is required.
Protect the hard disk drives from static electricity.
Do not stack them, or keep them upright.
Do not use an electric screwdriver to fix them.
(Tightening torque: Approx. 0.49 N · m (5 kgf · cm))
Avoid rapid changes of the temperature/humidity to
prevent condensation. (Acceptable change: within
15°C/h (59°F/h))
• Indication label
Refer to the indication labels placed on the top and bot-
tom of the unit as to the indications of equipment classi-
fication and power source, etc.
• Cooling Fan
Turn the power off when cleaning the unit. Otherwise it
may cause injuries.
Replacement costs of the cooling fan are not covered
by the warranty even if it needs to be done within the
warranty period. Consult your dealer for servicing.
• Avoid placing receptacles that contain liquids such as
water near the unit.
If liquid spills onto the unit, it may cause fire or an elec-
tric shock.
• Cleaning
Turn the power off when cleaning the unit. Otherwise it
may cause injuries.
• Do not expose the unit to water or moisture, or try to
operate it in wet areas.
Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when clean-
ing the appliance body.
• Prevent condensation from forming on the surface of
the hard disk.
Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance when it is dirty.
When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent
and wipe gently.
Wait until the dew evaporates in any of the following
cases.
The recorder is moved to a place significantly different
in temperature or humidity.
• Built-in hard disk drives
Hard disk drives are vulnerable to vibration. Handle
them with care.
It is possible to damage them if they are moved while
their motors are still running. Do not move them just
after turning the power of them on or off (for around 30
seconds).
The recorder is moved out of an air-conditioned room.
The recorder is placed in an extremely humid place.
The recorder is placed in a room where a heater has
just been turned on.
• We recommend that you make a note of your settings
and save them. This will help when you are required to
change the system configuration, or when unexpected
trouble or failure occurs.
