Introduction
Welcome to Image Vault®. This manual is intended for proper installation of the Image Vault® DVR and to
serve as a reference guide for troubleshooting if a problem occurs. Only trained installers should attempt
installing this product.
Warnings
WARNING: Your new Image Vault® DVR is a Personal Computer-based electronic
device. To perform a complete and satisfactory installation, Image Vault®
REQUIRES that an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) be installed as part of the
digital recorder system. The Image Vault® recorder must be plugged into the battery
backup segment of the UPS and be the only attached device. Failure to properly
install a UPS may cause damage to the systems hard drive, resulting in a loss of
recorded images, or the inability to record and will void Image Vault®
Manufacturer’s warranty.
WARNING: Your Image Vault® DVR can operate as a stand-alone device, or may
be used remotely through a network via the Playback software. Regardless
of the connection or mounting methods, the case of the Image Vault® recorder
may not be modified or penetrated in any way. Any effort to mount other
equipment to the Image Vault®, modify the chassis, or penetrate the chassis in
any way will void Image Vault® manufacturer’s warranty.
WARNING: Do not power cycle the DVR while it is in the boot process,
as this may cause Operating System startup issues.

Technical Notes
Ensure that the power switch located on the back left of the Image Vault® is switched to the OFF position before
plugging into a power source.
Do not remove the power ground pin from the power connector. Grounding is essential to the proper
performance of the DVR and UPS and will void manufacturer’s warranty if removed.
Plug the DVR power cord into the UPS. Ensure the UPS is connected to a 110/115v grounded receptacle that is
easily accessible at all times.
Refrain from installing the Image Vault® in a location that is excessively humid or dusty. These environmental
factors can result in electrical malfunction or general damage to the device. The installation environment
temperature must not exceed 95°F/35°C. Operating Temperature: 41°-104°F.
For proper ventilation you must provide 3 inches minimum clearance in both the front and back of the DVR.
The Image Vault® filter (item A on diagram 7.1) must be cleaned monthly. Remove the filter and clean dust and
debris from the filter using condensed air, then return the filter to the unit.
Do not install the Image Vault® in any location where it may be susceptible to outside electromagnetic fields or
vibrations, as this may interfere with the operation of the device. Some common sources of interference are
radios, florescent ballasts, TV’s, stereo equipment, etc.
Do not store or temporarily place heavy objects or components on top of the Image Vault®.
Image Vault® Pro Command Software includes a built-in help system which may be accessed at any time
from the Help menu. This is accessible both on the DVR itself and the Remote Playback Software located
on your PC. If a keyboard is connected, you may also connect by pressing F1 at any time.
