4 Initialization
Be sure to observe all cautions and warnings and other written requirements
relating to installation. Test the equipment for proper operation.
4.1 Positioning
Turn the DVR so that all cables and connections are to the rear of the unit and
the front with the “Video Download to CD” button is clearly viewable and ac-
cessible. The DVR has standard rack mount brackets for easy installation in a
standard 19 inch hardware rack.
4.2 Power
A dedicated NEMA 15 amp 115 V
AC
grounded outlet must be provided within 6
feet (2 m) of the DVR. The DVR may share its AC circuit with other point of sale
electronic equipment, but must not be on the same circuit as rotating machinery
such as refrigeration equipment or fuel pumps. Do not connect other loads to the
DVR’s UPS (see warnings in Section 1.1).
Plug the power cord into the back of the DVR and the other end into the Uninter-
ruptible Power Supply (UPS) battery backup electrical receptacle. The DVR must
be the only item using a battery backup receptacle on the UPS. Plug the UPS into
the main AC outlet. The UPS protects the DVR from power surges or dips and
prevents shutdown during a brief power loss. CAUTION: DO NOT TURN OFF OR
REBOOT DURING BOOT-UP PROCESS.
4.3 How to Check If the System is Working Properly
Turn on the power supply switch (next to the power cable input). Press the power
button on the rear of the DVR to start the recorder.
Within moments of power-up, you should hear a series of beeps. The number of
beeps will equal the number of cameras detected. If a video monitor is connected
to the public view monitor output(s), you should begin seeing video from the
cameras,switchingapproximatelyeveryfoursecondsoratauser-denedinter-
val. If a VGA monitor is connected you will be able to watch the system startup.

remotely. The DVR must begin capturing and storing images in order to properly
beginconguringcameras.
