Intended use
Only use the device for the purpose for which it was built
and designed. Any other use is considered unintended!
This device may only be used for the following
purpose(s):
When connected to video signal sources
(analogue/HD-TVI cameras) and video output
devices (TFT monitor), this 4-/8-Channel Analogue
HD Video Recorder is used to monitor objects.
Note
Data storage is subject to national data privacy
guidelines.
When carrying out the installation advise your
customers of the existence of this guideline.
General
Before using this device for the first time, please read the
following instructions carefully and observe all warning
information, even if you are familiar with the use of
electronic devices.
Warning
All guarantee claims are invalid in the event of
damage caused by non-compliance with this user
manual.
We cannot be held liable for resulting damage.
Warning
In the event of personal or material damage
caused by improper operation or non-compliance
with the safety information, we cannot be held
liable.
All guarantee claims are void in such cases.
Retain this handbook for future reference.
If you sell or pass on the device on to third parties, you
must include these instructions with the device.
This device has been manufactured in accordance with
international safety standards.
Power supply
Only operate this device through a power source
which supplies the mains power specified on the type
plate.
If you are unsure of the available power supply,
contact your utility company.
Warning
Prevent data loss.
Always use the device with an uninterruptable
power supply UPS with surge protection.
Disconnect the device from the power supply before
carrying out maintenance or installation work.
The on/off switch on this device does not fully
disconnect it from the mains supply.
To fully disconnect the device completely from the
mains, the mains plug must be withdrawn from the
mains socket. The device should therefore be
positioned so that there is always direct and
unimpeded access to the mains plug and the plug
can be removed immediately in the event of an
emergency.

Important safety information
72
To eliminate the risk of fire, the mains plug should be
removed from the mains socket prior to an extended
period of non-use. Prior to unstable weather and/or
when there is a danger of lightning strike, separate
the device from the mains network. Alternatively,
connect the device to a UPS.
Warning
Never open the device yourself! There is the
danger of electric shock.
Should it be necessary to open the device, refer to
trained technicians or your specialist installation
contractor.
The installation or replacement of a hard disk drive
should only be carried out by trained personnel or
your specialist installation contractor.
Warning
Installations or modifications not carried out by
trained technicians invalidate the warranty.
We recommend that the installation of a hard disk
drive is carried out by a specialist installation
contractor.
Improper installation of the hard disk drive
invalidates the warranty.
Overload/over voltage
Avoid overloading electrical sockets, extension
cables and adapters, as this can result in fire or
electric shock.
Use surge protection to prevent damage caused by
overvoltage (e.g. in electrical storms).
Cable
Always grasp all cables by the plug connector and do
not pull the cable itself.
Never grasp the power cable with wet hands, as this
can cause a short circuit or electric shock.
Do not place the device itself, items of furniture or
other heavy objects on the cable and ensure that it
does not become kinked, especially at the connector
plug and at the connection sockets.
Never tie a knot in the cable and do not bundle it
together with other cables.
All cable should be laid so that they cannot be
trodden on, or cause a hazard.
A damaged power cable can cause fire or electric
shock. Check the power cable from time to time.
Do not modify or manipulate the power cable or plug.
Do not use any adapter plug or extension cable that
do not conform to applicable safety standards and do
not interfere with the mains or power cables.
Installation location/operating environment
Place the device on a firm, level surface and do not
place any heavy objects on the device.
The device is not designed for operation in spaces
with high temperatures or humidity (e.g. bathrooms),
or excessive accumulation of dust.
Operating temperature and operating humidity:
-10°C to 55°C, maximum 85% relative humidity. The
device may only be operated in a temperate climate.
Ensure that:
adequate ventilation is always guaranteed (do not
place the device on a shelf, thick carpet, bed or
wherever ventilation slits may be covered. Always
leave a 10 cm gap on all sides)
no direct sources of heat (e.g. radiators) have an
impact on the device
the device must not be exposed to direct sunlight or
strong artificial light
the device is not in the immediate vicinity of magnetic
fields (e.g. loudspeakers)
no naked lights (e.g. lit candles) are on, or next to the
device
contact with sprayed or dripping water and caustic
fluids is prevented
the device is not operated in the vicinity of water, in
particular, the device should never be submerged (do
not place objects containing fluids, e.g. vases or
drinks on or near the device)
no foreign bodies penetrate the device
the device is not exposed to wide temperature
variations, as otherwise there may be condensation
from humidity causing electrical short circuits
the device is not exposed to excessive shock or
vibration.

Important safety information
73
Care and maintenance
Maintenance is necessary if the device has been
damaged (e.g. damage to the power cable and plug, or
the housing), or if liquids or foreign bodies have got into
the interior of the device, or if it has been exposed to rain
or damp, or if it does not work properly or has been
dropped.
When conducting maintenance work (e.g. cleaning),
disconnect the device from the mains.
If smoke, unusual noises or smells occur, switch the
device off immediately and unplug from the socket. In
such cases, the device should not be used until it has
been inspected by a qualified technician.
Have all maintenance tasks carried out by qualified
technicians only.
Never open the housing of the device or accessories.
If the housing is open there is the risk of fatal electric
shock.
Clean the device housing and the remote control with
a damp cloth.
Do not use solvents, white spirit, thinners etc. These
may damage the surface of the device.
Do not use any of the following substances:
Brine, insect spray, solvents containing chlorine or
acids (ammonium chloride), or scouring powder.
Rub the surface gently with the cotton cloth until it is
completely dry.
Warning
The device operates with a dangerous voltage
level. The device should therefore only be opened
by authorised technicians. All servicing and
maintenance tasks must be carried out by
authorised companies. Inadequate repair work
can cause a fatal hazard for the user.
Accessories
Only connect devices that are expressly suitable for
the intended purpose. Otherwise, hazardous
situations or damage to the device can occur.
Start-up
Observe all safety and operating instructions before
operating the device for the first time.
Only open the housing to install the hard disk drive.
Warning
When installing the device in an existing video
surveillance system, ensure that all devices have
been disconnected from the mains power circuit
and low-voltage circuit.
Warning
If in doubt, have a specialist technician carry out
assembly, installation and connection of the
device.
Improper or unprofessional work on the power
supply system or domestic installations puts both
you and others at risk.
Connect the installations so that the mains power
circuit and low-voltage circuit always run
separately from each other. They should not be
connected at any point or become connected as a
result of a malfunction.
Children
Do not allow electrical devices to be handled by
children. Do not allow children to use electrical
devices unsupervised. Children may not properly
identify possible hazards. Small parts may be fatal if
swallowed.
Also keep packaging film away from children. There
is the risk of suffocation.
This device is not intended for children. If used
incorrectly, parts under spring tension may fly out and
cause injury to children (e.g to eyes).
