Proper Startup/Shutdown
Kollector recorders must be started and shutdown properly. To start a Kollector, a boot procedure must take
place before the ViconNet application can be used, just as in any other PC-based system. To shutdown a
Kollector, special considerations must be followed to avoid data loss.
Startup
To startup a Kollector:
1.
With the recorder completely setup, verify that the rear panel toggle switch is in the ON position (“I”
pressed in).
2.
Open the front panel door and press the front panel power switch towards the “I” position. This
momentary switch will spring back to the “O” position. The recorder will display its boot routine.
Shutdown
Preferred method to shutdown a Kollector:
With the recorder booted and operational, select the Shutdown button in the Main screen of the ViconNet GUI
and follow the screen prompts. The system will automatically shutdown.
Not-recommended method to shutdown a Kollector:
There may be instances when the Kollector cannot be shutdown using the GUI. In these cases, use the front
panel power switch as follows:
With the recorder booted and operational, momentarily press and release the front panel switch. The recorder
will run a proper shutdown routine.
WARNING:
Failure to properly shutdown the recorder can result in data loss and lengthy file rebuilding
upon next boot. File rebuilding can take up to 3 hours before it is available for use. The
revolving hourglass will display during this process. DO NOT attempt to reboot the system
during this process or data loss will result.
