Install Environment and Notes
Install Environment
zWorking temperature of DVR: -10ć~50ćˈstorage temperature -20ć~70ć.
zDVR should be placed flatly during installation or operation, avoid slantways or inversed placement.
zAvoid placement and installation in high temperature and high humidity.
zFor better heat-radiation, cooling fan is designed inside the DVR. Further, install the device in the place with good ventilation and
dust-free condition.
zTo ensure a better heat-radiation, the distance between the DVR back panel and the other DVR or the wall should be more than 6CM.
zDo not move DVR in the place with sharp temperature contrast to avoid condensation inside the device which will shorten the lifespan
of the machine.
zInstall the thunder protection devices for the DVR applied in thundery areas to prevent the thunder-caused hardware damages.
zDVR should be for indoor use only.
Notes
zDon't touch the power button or DVR with wet hands or wet stuff.
zAfter the installation, to avoid the interference of the video/audio signals and the damages caused by the static electricity, please make
sure that DVR and the housing are well grounded (refer to the grounding interface on the rear panel).
zMake sure that the voltage of the power supply is stable. Do not close the DVR directly by turning off the general switch. It's
recommended to use the DVR in conjunction with an UPS.
zAvoid splashing down the liquid or metal on DVR, which may cause short circuit even fire inside DVR.
zInstall the harddisk correctly before use, or else, you can't make any record operation.
zThe dust of the mainboard may cause short circuit after being damped, therefore, to maintain a long life usage of the device, please clean
the mainboard, inserts, housing and cooling fan regularly.
zTry not to apply TV set at the local video output interface (VIDEO OUT), otherwise, the output circuit of the DVR (VIDEO OUT) is apt
to damages.
zWhen shut down the DVR, do not turn off the power switch directly. Please firstly close the current recording, then complete the
software shut down via menu, and at last close the power switch on the rear panel. In this way, the possible hardware damages are
avoided.
zDVR is able to auto-check the harddisk, when a new harddisk without formatting or a nonsupport file system of the harddisk, system
will alarm to user, the record could be taken only after the harddisk is formatted. If the harddisk has been used before and meanwhile it
has subareas record, please delete the subareas on PC first, and then format the harddisk in DVR. Otherwise, the normal record will be
influenced.
zDo not conduct the hardware hot-swapping operation with electricity. (Except the hardware supporting hot-swapping)
zChange the damaged harddisk to insure the integrality of the record data(The information of the harddisk error is in the log)
zIt's better to use the recommended HDDs only. Please visit below link for the list of the HDDs recommended by Infinova:

Remote controller installation and use method
1. Load battery
(1) Open the cover of the battery cabinet;
(2) Load 2 No.7 batteries, ensure the polarity is correct;
(3) Close the battery cabinet.
2. Start using remote controller
After the DVR has been started up well, press the DEV key on
the remote controller, then input the DVR's device number (the
default device No. is 1, it can be modified in "Display"), and then
press ENTER key. If the indicator on the controller turns green, it
means that the DVR is connected and can be controlled by remote
controller.
Note: Device number should be 1 ~ 127.
3. Stop using remote controller
Press DEV key when the DVR is being controlled, the status
indicator will turn off, and then the remote controller stops to
control the DVR.
4. Shutdown DVR via remote controller

DVR normally.
5. Troubleshooting for remote controller
If the remote controller doesn't work normally:
yReduce the operating distance between DVR and controller
yAim the controller at the infrared receiver of the DVR
yCheck the polarity of the battery loaded
yChange the used battery and load new battery
yCheck if the sensor of the controller is obstructed
yCheck if fluorescence lamp is being nearby
Note: Please replace the controller if it still doesn't work after the
above operations. It should be the infrared receiver problem if the
new controller doesn't work either. Please contact after-sale
service engineer timely.

As shown in above diagram, the internal alarm circuit makes
1/2/3/4 output port connected with the corresponding G when
there's no alarm. And 1/2/3/4 output port will contact with +5V
node when there's alarm, which will activate the indicator or
audible alarm.
There're 4 jumpers on the mainboard, J1400, J1401, J1402 and
J1403. They are closed in factory default setting. When they are
open, they can be used to avoid damage to device if the external
alarm circuit is shorted. They should be closed normally.
There're 4 alarm indicators on the mainboard, LD901, LD902,
LD903 and LD904. They are related to the 4 alarm output
respectively, and will be on if there's alarm.
Note:
(1) The 1/2/3/4 output port supply +5V voltage when there's alarm,
which is supplied to the DC load with rating voltage less than
+5V only, and current limitation protection circuit should be
added. It must use relay when connect with high voltage AC or
DC load, or the alarm function will be invalid, what's more,
may have damage to the device. It's recommended to use relay
connection (refer to Figure 2-6).
(2) Make sure the 1/2/3/4 output ports are not shorted to the
corresponding G, or the device will be damaged. Disconnect
the jumper cap before finishing connection of circuit and
confirm no short-circuit between 1/2/3/4 output ports and
corresponding G when connect with external alarm circuit.
