Maintenance, cleaning and care of the system 

 

You have purchased a system which works largely without maintenance. Depending on the type and 

kind of installation  it  will still require external cleaning  of the unit. When doing so please follow these 

instructions: 

 

  Clean the external case with just a soft dry cloth. 

  Under no circumstances should the unit be dipped in water. 

  Never use solvents and/or cleaning fluids! 

  Except for occasional function checks and cleaning  of the case and the external  connections no 

further care is necessary. 

 

Checking the functionality of the device has to be carried out at predetermined intervals. Since this is a 

security system which is  part of a larger security  infrastructure it is subject to  particular maintenance 

guidelines. Irrespective of these, as the manufacturer we recommend the following checks be carried 

out once every 6 months: 

 

  Check all connections, cables and plugs on the unit. 

  Clean the case with a soft cloth (without solvent). 

  Check the configuration with the "SystemManagement” CMS module. 

  Check the recording with the "ImageFinder” CMS module or with the ImageFinder NX. 

  Check the live pictures with the "Vision" CMS module. 

 

 

The  hard  disk  is  a  sensitive  element  of  the  system.  To  ensure  continuous,  problem-free  function 
we recommend checking the disk every 3 months. 
 
Incorporate this function check in your service plans.
