Location
• Select a suitable installation site. This location should be a place where the digital recorder is protected
from unauthorised access.
• Protect the digital recorder from direct sunlight and heat. The cooling of the digital recorder and the
installed hard drive takes place via air convection. Never cover the digital recorder, and do not place any
other devices or objects on it.
• If the digital recorder is for instance installed in a cabinet, a suitable cooling system is required in order
to avoid heat accumulation.
• Do not move the digital recorder when the installed hard drive is in operation. This may result in damage
to the hard drive and data loss.
Getting started
a) Installation of a SATA Hard Drive
Always disconnect the product from the power supply before opening the housing to install the
hard drive.
• 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).
• Some manufacturers of hard drives offer hard drives that are specially designed for surveillance systems.
Do not install a conventional desktop hard drive into the digital recorder as it may age faster or
read/write errors may occur when the hard drives is used in continuous operation.
The product does not have a cooling fan. Make sure there is sufficient space around the product
for ventillation.
• 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.
b) Wired connectivity
• Connect the BNC video inputs to your surveillance cameras. The digital recorder is particularly suitable
for AHD cameras.
• BNC, VGA or HDMI video outputs are available to connect your surveillance monitor. The desired moni-
tor resolution can be adjusted in the setup menu at a later stage.
• Connect the USB mouse enclosed to one of the USB ports.
• Connect the digital recorder with the circular low-voltage plug of the power adapter provided. Plug the
mains adapter into a mains socket. The digital recorder will then carry out a self-test (approx. 10 sec-
onds) and is ready for use after that.
Do not move the digital recorder with the installed hard drive is in operation. This may result in
damage to the hard drive and data loss.
c) Formatting the hard disk
• On initial start-up you must format the installed hard drive using the digital recorder‘s setting menu. This
will result in the loss of all data stored on the hard drive.
• Without formatting the hard drive, you won‘t be able to record video footage from the connected surveil-
lance cameras.

Safety instructions
Read the operating instructions
carefully and especially observe
the safety information. If you do not
follow the safety instructions and
information on proper handling in
this manual, we assume no liability
for any resulting personal injury or
damage to property. Such cases will
invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
a) General
The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of
the product is not allowed for safety and approval
reasons.
If the digital recorder is used with other devices (e.g.
a monitor and surveillance cameras), the operating
instructions and safety notices for these devices
must be followed.
Any maintenance or repair work may be performed
only by an expert.
Do not leave the packaging material unattended,
since it could become a dangerous plaything for
children.
On industrial sites, the accident prevention regula-
tions of the association of the industrial workers‘
society for electrical equipment and utilities must be
followed.
If you have any questions that are not answered in
this manual, please contact our technical service or
another specialist.
b) Power adapter/mains voltage
• The design of the plug-in power adapter com-
plies with IEC Protection Class II (double insu-
lated 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 accessible.
• 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, remove 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 adapt-
er 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, intense 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 con-
densation that forms might destroy the product.
A power adapter also carries the risk of a poten-
tially 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 lo-
cation 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 trans-
port
• 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).
