2 For your safety
Only use the unit if it is technically in proper working order, to the
intended purpose and while keeping safety and potential dangers
in mind. Have malfunctions or damages eliminated immediately!
Appoint a professional
Installation, mounting, connection, start-up and configuration of
the unit may only be carried out by trained and authorized
professionals (installers).
Unless otherwise expressly specified, this also applies to the
maintenance, testing and repair.
Read and pay attention to the documents
Carefully and completely read the documents included in delivery.
Always pay attention to the provided instructions, notes and
warnings.
Regulations surveillance systems
Theuse ofvideoand audiosurveillance systemsis strictlyregulated
inmost countries.Therefore,inform yourselfon lawsand regulations
that govern individual applications before using the unit. Ensure
compliance with these laws and regulations and also observe
regulations regarding data, working and environmental protection.
Regulations data protection
This unit can store data that may be subject to data protection. The
collecting, recording, processing or disclosure of such data may
be forbidden and thus have legal consequences. Therefore, inform
yourself on data protection laws and regulations that govern indivi-
dual applications before using the unit. Ensure compliance with
this laws and regulations.
Do not make modifications
Do not make any modifications to the unit (neither to the software
nor the hardware) without consulting Dallmeier electronic. Improper
modifications can cause malfunctions or damages. Dallmeier
electronicGmbH &Co. KGacceptsno liabilityfor damagesresulting
from unauthorized or improper modifications to the unit.

14 DallmeierelectronicGmbH&Co.KG
Digital HD Recorders DMS/DLS
Protection against condensation water
If the unit is brought from a cold to a warm environment,
condensation water can form inside the unit. Short-circuits may
then lead to damage to the system. Wait up to 8 hours for the unit
to reach room temperature before starting it up.
Observe the rated voltage
The unit can be damaged or destroyed by the application of an
incorrect voltage.
The mains voltage must always match the rated voltage of the
unit. The rated voltage is specified on the rating plate of the unit.
Observe ratings
Unsuitable ambient conditions and improper installation (mainly
too high ambient temperature and insufficient ventilation) may
reduce the unit’s life cycle. Ensure compliance with the stated
operating conditions (see technical data), requirements at the
installation site and, if applicable, maintenance regulations.
Expansion components/peripheral devices
Use only expansion components conforming with the technical data
of the unit. Inappropriate peripheral devices may result in the
violation of local laws and regulations and damages to the unit.
Furthermore, the use of peripheral devices that are not tested and
approved by Dallmeier electronic results in loss of warranty. In case
of doubt, contact the sales partner responsible for your area.
Do not move while in operation
Strong vibrations can cause damage to the unit, in particular to the
hard disk(s). Therefore, do not bump the unit or move it in a jerky
motion while in operation. Instruct the cleaning personnel
accordingly if necessary!
Do not open the unit
Do not open the housing of the unit. There are no components
insidetheunit thatrequire maintenanceby theuser.The inspection,
maintenance and repair with an open housing must only be carried
out by trained and authorized professionals (installer).

15
DallmeierelectronicGmbH&Co.KG
Penetration of foreign bodies and liquids
No objects or liquids may be allowed to get into the device. In this
case, immediately disconnect the unit from the power supply (pull
out the power plug). Please contact the sales partner responsible
for your area.
Measures to be taken in the event of damage and burnt
smell
If you notice burnt smell or formation of smoke from an unit,
immediately disconnect it from the power supply (pull out the po-
wer plug). Please contact the sales partner responsible for your
area.
Disposal
Disconnect the unit from the power supply. Remove all connected
units and system components. Return the unit to your respective
sales partner.

4 Installation and mounting
¾Read the safety precautions before mounting.
4.1 Requirements at the installation site
Taking data protection into account
The system stores personal information subject to data protection.
For this reason, install the system (including the monitor, mouse,
keyboard etc.) in a room which can be locked and which is only
accessible by authorized persons.
Taking environmental conditions into account
The prescribed environmental conditions must be complied with at
the installation site, see technical data. Overheating, in particular,
can cause permanent damage to the unit.
The ambient temperature may not exceed 40 °C during operation.
Theventilation openingsof theunit maynotbecovered.Theservice
life of the DMS/DLS depends on the ambient temperature of the
installation site. Always ensure proper ventilation.
Ensure that the ventilation slits of the DMS/DLS are located at
least 10 cm from other objects or to a cabinet wall.
Mains voltage
Check the mains voltage at the installation site before connection
and start-up. The mains voltage must match the rated voltage of
the DMS/DLS and the power supplies for their additional
components. The DMS/DLS and system components may never
be operated with a voltage other than the specified mains voltage.
Otherwise, the DMS/DLS can be permanently damaged.

20 DallmeierelectronicGmbH&Co.KG
Digital HD Recorders DMS/DLS
Mains connection
The DMS/DLS may only be connected to a freely-accessible and
grounded protected-contact outlet in the building installation.
Recommendation: Operate the DMS/DLS from an uninterrupted
power supply (UPS).
Use the accompanying inspected power cables/power supplies for
all units which are part of the system.
Three mounting options are available for the DMS/DLS:
zStand-alone installation of the system
zInstallation in a 19" equipment rack
zVdS-conformant mounting with VdS mounting kit
4.2 Stand-alone installation of system
Thesimplesttype ofmounting isthe stand-alone installation without
additional mechanical attachment.
However, allconnections forcameras, monitor, mouseand possible
external components are freely accessible.
NOTE
To prevent possible tampering, this type of
mountingshould onlytakeplace insecured rooms.
Access to these rooms and to the system should
only be possible for authorized personnel.
4.3 Installation in a 19" equipment cabinet
If your DMS/DLS is to be mounted in a 19" equipment cabinet, a
corresponding unit bracket is required.
1 Inserting DMS/DLS in 19" bracket
¾Place your DMS/DLS in the unit bracket so that the unit feet
are seated in the corresponding cut-out areas (A) (see Fig. 4-
1).
