About this guide This guide is intended for people who are responsible for physical site planning and preparation. By planning for your Capsule Technologies system installation, you will have the opportunity to make adjustments to your site and order any additional facility equipment, thereby reducing the time required to install your system.

Site Preparation Overview This document provides information that helps management and facilities personnel prepare for an Capsule Technologies surveillance appliance installation. It includes general site planning concepts as well as specific site requirements that you may use as a guide during the site planning and preparation process. Contact your account manager to discuss your site planning, preparation, and installation plans and to obtain configuration information for any system. Use the following steps as a planning guide for your system installation:

1. Identify the space, power, and environmental requirements for the system. 2. Select a location for the system and identify any necessary modifications. 3. Prepare the site according to the guidelines in this publication. You may use the site

planning checklist at the end of this document as a guide.


System Safety Warning and precaution

1. All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted in the manual

2. Place the chassis top cover or any system components that have been removed from system on a table to prevent accidental damage.

3. When installing the internal components, be sure to ground yourself at all time, the static discharge might damage electronic components.

4. Remove any jewellery or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that can trigger short circuit and harm you if you come into contact with electronic components or area with power.

5. Before performing any maintenance or services, power must be turn off and disconnect the power cords from system.

6. Keep away from fan blades while servicing.

7. Only trained service person is allowed to do servicing and maintenance.

8. Place the chassis at a stable and flat surface, chassis drop will cause injury.

9. Stay away from high humidity environment.

10. Do not cover openings of the chassis.

11. Make sure the voltage of the power source is within the specification as specified on label when connecting the equipment to the power outlet.

12. Do not allow any liquid in contact with chassis inside; it would cause fire and electric shock.

Thermal Requirements It is important that the Capsule Technologies appliances be maintained within their rated thermal range.

Optimal Environmental Requirements Humidity 45% to 55% non-condensing, 45% (optimum) Rate of change must not exceed 10% relative humidity/hour Operating environment: Air temperature 17.8 to 27.2 °C, 22.2 °C (optimum) Typically, the upper limit of the temperature range is more likely to become a problem than the lower limit. All of the systems that this guide describes have a maximum rated operating temperature. Exceeding this temperature greatly increases the rate of hardware failure and, in many cases, causes the system to shut itself down. All of the power consumed by a computer system must exist as some form of energy. For air-cooled systems, this energy exists in the form of heat in the surrounding air. Every watt drawn by a system is eventually dissipated as heat. This heat tends to raise the temperature of the air in the room that houses the system. Therefore, some method is needed to keep the temperature within the required range.


Air-conditioning Terminology Air-conditioning capacity is generally measured in Btu/hr, tons, or kilocalories (kcal). A Btu, or British thermal unit, is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at a constant pressure of one atmosphere. One ton of air conditioning removes 12,000 Btu of heat energy per hour. The more systems that are installed in a given area, the larger the air-conditioning capacity that is required. It is important to calculate the total thermal load of the systems that you will be installing and determine whether the existing air-conditioning system can handle the additional load. If not, you must provide additional cooling capacity.


Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) recommendation Capsule Technologies recommend to protect the DR460R, DR1630, DR2460 and DR4860 with a UPS unit model “CAPS-UPS”, product description “UPS unit for DR1630, DR2460, DR4860 & DR460R, 2000VA On-Line Rackmount UPS 1800W - LCD Display, 1 x RS232 & 1 x USB Port + SA Wall Socket. Rackmountable. Railkit Included.” Alternatively, a rackmountable UPS unit from a third party vendor can be used but must fulfuill at least those characteristics:

PHASE Single phase with ground CAPACITY 2000 VA / 1800 W Input Nominal Voltage 200/208/220/230/240 VAC Voltage Range 110 – 300 VAC +/- 5% at 50% load Frequency Range 40Hz – 70 Hz Output Output Voltage 200/208/220/230/240 VAC AC Voltage Regulation (Batt. Mode) +/- 1% Frequency Range (synchronized Range) 57-63 Hz Frequency Range (Batt. Mode) 60Hz Transfer time, Inverter to Bypass Zero Battery Battery Type 12 V / 7 ah Numbers 6 Typical Recharge Time 4 hours recover to 90% capacity

Ensure that you consider the power factor of the system when you select an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) which is coming from a third party.


Site Planning Checklist The following table provide a site planning checklist that you can use as an organizational tool during the site planning and preparation process. During the planning process, you might discover additional preparation issues at your site that this checklist does not address. To discuss your site plans and to resolve any issues, contact a Capsule Technologies site planning representative by one of the methods listed in the summary of this document.
