Physical installation
This section describes how to install the recorder.
Installation environment
When installing your product, consider these factors:
• Ventilation
• Temperature
• Moisture
• Chassis load
Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the
unit is well ventilated.
Temperature: Consider the unit’s operating temperature (-10 to +55 ºC, 14 to 131 °F)
and noncondensing humidity specifications (10 to 90%) before choosing an installation
location. Extremes of heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits
may reduce the life expectancy of the recorder. Do not install the unit on top of other
hot equipment. Leave 44 mm (1.75 in.) of space between rack-mounted DVR units.
Moisture: Do not use the unit near water. Moisture can damage the internal
components. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain
or moisture.
Chassis: Equipment weighing less than 15.9 kg (35 lb.) may be placed on top of the
unit.
Unpack the recorder and its accessories
