14. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged
• If liquid is spilled or objects have fallen into the equipment
• If the equipment has been exposed to rain or water
• If the equipment does not operate normally by following the operating instructions,
adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an
improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the equipment to its normal
operation.
• If the equipment has been dropped or the cabinet damaged

WARNING! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
19. Operating Temperature
An operating temperature range is specified so that the customer and installer may
determine a suitable operating environment for the equipment.
20. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the specified
operating temperature range.
21. Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in the rack should be such that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
22. Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
caused by uneven mechanical loading.

23. Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to connection of the equipment to supply circuit and the
effect that overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection and supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
24. Reliable Earthing (Grounding)
Reliable grounding of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).

Commissioning Plan
Overview
Commissioning is the process of installing, configuring, and setting up the MAXPRO NVR
system hardware and software. At the end of the commissioning process, the MAXPRO NVR
system is equipped for use by operators to perform video surveillance operations.
Steps in the Commissioning Process
The process of commissioning involves the following phases.
Setting up the MAXPRO NVR
Setting up the MAXPRO NVR involves:
• Determining the number of MAXPRO NVR server and client computers at the location.
• Choosing the desired MAXPRO NVR system architecture.
• Connecting the monitors to the MAXPRO NVR. After connecting the monitors, configure
the monitor display properties.
• Connecting the keyboards (for example, Ultrakey) to the MAXPRO NVR unit.
Note: See Setting up the MAXPRO NVR for information on how to setup the MAXPRO
NVR system.
Installing the Software in the Server and Client
Computers
Caution: For the Honeywell’s boxed solutions: MAXPRO NVR PE, MAXPRO NVR
XE, and MAXPRO NVR SE, the server and client software required is
already installed on the box. Hence the instructions in this section for
server software fresh installation are NOT applicable.

COMMISSIONING PLAN
Steps in the Commissioning Process

Installing the software involves the following steps:
• The server and client computers meet the minimum hardware and software
requirements.
• Installing the MAXPRO NVR software.
Note: See Installing MAXPRO NVR for information on software requirements and
installation instructions for the MAXPRO NVR software.
Configuring MAXPRO NVR
In this phase, you need to configure the MAXPRO NVR through the user interface. Configuring
MAXPRO NVR includes the following:
• Configuring the Honeywell cameras with MAXPRO NVR Wizard
• Configuring the system level settings
• Configuring the disk management settings
• Configuring the schedule based recording for cameras
• Performing user administration
Note: See Configuring MAXPRO NVR for information on how to configure the MAXPRO
NVR system.
Verifying the Configuration
• Verifying the configuration involves checking whether the surveillance operations can be
performed using MAXPRO NVR. Surveillance operations include: viewing the live video,
performing the pan, tilt, and zoom on the video, and starting the video recording.
Note: See Verifying the Configuration for information on how to perform the verification.
