CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage. When Installing the Unit • Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug with wet hands, as doing so may cause electric shock. • When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure to grasp the power supply plug; never pull on the cord itself. Operating the unit with a damaged power supply cord may cause a fire or electric shock.
CU version complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Note This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS • The supplied power supply cord is designed for exclusive use with the Digital Video Recorder. Never use it with other equipment. • Do not connect the10BASE-T/100BASE-TX terminal, Hard disk expansion unit connection terminal or Remote control I/O terminal A to networks that could be exposed to excessive electrical voltage. Failure to follow this instruction could result in electric shock or fire.
• TOA takes no responsibility for any incidental damage, such as loss of sales opportunities, that may result. • Avoid using the camera in line-locked mode. Failure to do so may cause the displayed camera images to flicker. Also, video may be lost if power frequency fluctuates significantly. 3. GLOSSARY OF TERMS Triplex This function permits recording while viewing live and recorded images in multi-screen display.
4. GENERAL DESCRIPTION TOA's C-DR Series Digital Video Recorders feature a digital compression method that permits camera images to be recorded on an internal hard disk. The C-DR091 Series is designed for 9 channels, while the C-DR161 Series can be used for up to 16 channels. It can simultaneously play back recorded camera images while continuing to record images onto the hard disk. Mounting in EIA-Standard equipment racks can also be easily performed with the addition of optional rack mounting brackets.
• High Picture Quality and High Frame Rate Recording and playback can be simultaneously performed at a maximum of 120 IPS. (Image compression method: Motion-JPEG.) Picture quality can be adjusted in five levels, allowing high quality recording or extended recording according to the intended purpose of use. Picture quality and recording intervals can be freely set for individual cameras and recording system.

18.4.4. About error messages The following error messages are displayed if an error should occur during archiving: • Terminated for lack of available media space. This message is displayed when the data size to be archived exceeds the destination media capacity and shows that the archiving is aborted, as the media is full with data already written. To continue archiving, insert a new media and perform archiving again. • Transfer error has been detected.
18.5.2. Folder Configuration and File Name Notes • Folder name or file name at the time of DVD archiving is referenced in Time zone setting (Refer to p.90, Network Setting.). Folder name or file name is displayed correctly only when time zone setting has been performed correctly. • Folder name or file name is to be created at standard time when recording data during summer time period is archived. To replace it with summer time indication, advance 1 hour.
18.5.3. Playback by way of viewer software Follow the procedure below to view the archived images on a PC. 1. Insert a recorded medium into the PC. Insert a USB memory or DVD medium into the PC. 2.
