b) Power adapter/mains voltage
• The design of the plug-in power adapter complies with IEC Protection Class II
(double insulated electrical appliances). Use only a standard mains socket as the
power source for the power adapter.
• The power socket into which the power adapter is inserted must be easily ac-
cessible.
• Use only the power adapter supplied to power the digital recorder.
• Do not pull the AC adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the cable.
• Never touch a power adapter that shows signs of damage, as this could cause a
fatal electric shock!
First, switch off the mains voltage to the socket to which the wall plug transformer
is connected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or, for example, re-
move the safety fuse or switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch, so
that the socket is fully disconnected).
You can then unplug the power adapter from the mains socket. Dispose of the
faulty power adapter in an environmentally friendly way, do not use it any more.
Replace it with a power adapter of the same design.
c) Operation
• The product is not a toy. Devices operated on mains voltage should not be used by
children. Therefore, be especially careful when children are around.
Use the product where it is out of the reach of children.
• The product is intended for use in dry indoor rooms only; it must not get damp or
wet; never touch it with damp wet hands! Power adapters pose the potential risk
of a fatal electric shock!
• The product should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, in-
tense vibrations or heavy mechanical stress. Protect it against dust and dirt.
• Never use the product immediately after moving it from a cold room into a warm
one. The condensation that forms might destroy the product. A power adapter also
carries the risk of a potentially fatal electric shock!
• Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to the power
supply and putting it into use. In some cases, this may take several hours.
• Avoid the following adverse conditions at the location of installation and during
transport:
- Dust or flammable gases, fumes or solvents
- Strong vibrations, impacts or blows
- Strong magnetic fields such as those found close to machinery or loudspeakers
• Safe operation can no longer be assumed if:
- the product exhibits visible damage,
- the device no longer works
- the device was stored for a long period of time in unfavourable conditions
- it was exposed to heavy loads during transport
• When setting up and operating the product, ensure that the cables are neither
bent nor squeezed.
• Handle the product with care; it can be damaged by impacts, blows or falls even
from a low height.
• Disconnect the power supply from the power socket if the product will not be used
for a while (e.g. storage).
Installation of a SATA Hard Drive
Before you open the digital recorder and install a hard disk, disconnect the digital
recorder from the power supply; Unplug the power supply from the wall outlet..
• First remove the casing lid of the digital recorder by unscrewing its retaining screws (one
screw each on the left and right and 2 screws on the rear side).
• A 8.89 cm / 3.5“ SATA hard drive is suitable for installation (not included). For use as surveil-
lance device, you have to install a hard drive that can be used in continuous operation. These
are usually more expensive than „normal“ hard drives.
Some manufacturers of hard drives offer hard drives that are specially designed for surveil-
lance systems.
Do not install a conventional desktop hard drive into the digital recorder as it will age
faster or read/write errors may occur when the hard drives is used in continuous
operation.
Ensure also that the hard disk used will not generate heat as the digital recorder has
no integrated fan.
• Attach the hard drive to the digital recorder by the recorder‘s mounting holes intended for this
purpose and 4 screws.
• Connect the power cord and the SATA cable between the hard drive and the digital recorder‘s
control board.
• Replace the casing lid of the digital recorder and fasten it with the screws removed earlier
in this step.
