2.4.2Unit Recovery

Unit recovery is an internal diagnostic that seldom occurs and cannot be interrupted, even by powering down a unit. A unit recovery can take well over two hours on units with a large storage capacity; see table 4. If unit recovery occurs repeatedly, contact Honeywell technical support.

Table 4

Time needed for a Multi-Media unit recovery

nominal storage* (camera-day) time† (minute)

50080

1000 160

2000 320

4500* 640

*A unit’s nominal storage is indicated as part of the model number. For example:

HRM60CD4500, “4500” is the number for storage.

† Values are approximate. During a unit recovery, a View operator can only run a maintenance session on the Multi-Media unit, to check the Feedback box for the “Recovering storage, n % completed” message.

2.5Connecting a Camera

Honeywell recommends powering down a unit before connecting hardware to it. See 2.4.1: Powering Up and Down, p. 2–5.

Connector

The BNC connector’s low signal loss, ease of twist-on installation, and small size, make it a common connector for CCTV connections. Honeywell recommends using a solder- or crimp-type connector. Video is quite sensitive to bad connectors; do not use screw-type connectors. These can seriously compromise a unit’s performance.

Fig. 15. Connect each camera to a different camera input (an “IN”, in the

VIDEO INPUTS section), on the back-panel.

Rapid Dome or Rapid Dome Gold dome systems

With Rapid Dome or Rapid Dome Gold dome systems, using twisted pair transmission, Honeywell recommends that passive-to-passive transmission distances be no more than 500 feet (154 meters). For greater distance, please use an active receiver product such as an ATP652R.
