Grounding Terminal

The NVR already comes with lightning protection mechanism. You can

also ground the NVR through the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of AC cord

or with Ground Cable. For detailed lightning protection measures, go

to https://www.tp-link.com/support, search the model number of your

NVR and go to the product Support web page, refer to the Lightning

Protection Guide from the Related Documents:

https://www.tp-link.com/us/conguration-guides/lightning_protection_

guide/.

Caution:

Please use the provided power cord.

2.2 Safety Precautions

To avoid any device damage and bodily injury caused by improper use,

you should observe the following rules.

■Safety Precautions

■Keep the power off during the installation.

■Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the wrist strap

has a good skin contact and is well grounded.

■Use only the power cord provided with the device.

■Make sure that the supply voltage matches the specifications indicated

on the rear panel of the device.

■Ensure that the device is installed in a well-ventilated environment and

its ventilation hole is not blocked.

■Do not open or remove the cover of the device.

■Before cleaning the device, cut off the power supply. Do not clean it by

the waterish cloth, and never use any other liquid cleaning method.

■Place the device with its bottom surface downward.

■Site Requirements

Temperature/Humidity

32 Channel Network Video Recorder

VIGINVR4032H

Keep the equipment room at an appropriate level of temperature and

humidity. Too much or too little humidity may lead to bad insulation,

leakage of electricity, mechanical property changes, and corrosion.

High temperatures may accelerate aging of the insulation materials,

significantly shortening the service life of the device.

Clearness

32 Channel Network Video Recorder

VIGINVR4032H

The dust accumulated on the device can be absorbed by static electricity

and result in poor contact of metal contact points. Some measures have

been taken for the device to prevent static electricity, but too strong

static electricity can cause deadly damage to the electronic elements on

the internal circuit board. To avoid the effect of static electricity on the

operation of the device, attach much importance to the following items:

■Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.

■Keep the device well grounded and ensure that the static electricity has

been transferred.

Electromagnetic Interference

32 Channel Network Video Recorder

VIGINVR4032H

Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device

can be affected by external interferences, such as conducted emission

by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, and impedance coupling.

To decrease the interferences, make sure to take the following measures:

■Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the

power grid.

■Keep the device far from high-frequency and strong-current devices

such as radio transmitting station.

■Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

Lightning Protection

32 Channel Network Video Recorder

VIGI NVR4032H

Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when

lightning occurs and the air in the electric discharge path can be instantly

heated up to 20,000 °C. As this instant current is strong enough to

damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures

should be taken.

■Ensure that the rack and the device are well earthed.

■Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.

■Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning.

■Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor.

Note:

For detailed lightning protection measures, go to https://www.tp-link.com/

support, search the model number of your product and go to the product Support

web page, refer to the Lightning Protection Guide from the Related Documents:

https://www.tp-link.com/us/conguration-guides/lightning_protection_guide/.

Installation Site

32 Channel Network Video Recorder

VIGINVR4032H

When installing the device on a rack or a flat workbench, attach much

importance to the following items:

■The rack or workbench is flat, stable, and sturdy enough to support the

weight of 5.5 kg at least.

■The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system. The equipment

room is well ventilated.

■The rack is well grounded. Keep the device less than 1.5 meters away

from the power socket.

2.3 Installation Tools

■Phillips screwdriver

■ESD-preventive wrist wrap

■Cables

Note:

These tools are not included with our product. If needed, you can purchase them

separately.

2.4 Hard Drive Installation

When installing for the first time, please prepare a 3.5-inch hard disk

drive (HDD). It is recommended to use the HDD of surveillance or enter-

prise level. Before installation, please disconnect the power from the

network video recorder (NVR).

1. Remove the fixing screws on the side and back panels to open the

cover of the NVR.

2. Remove the fixing screws to detach the HDD bracket.

3. Match the screws on the HDD with the holes on the NVR. Up to 4 HDDs

can be mounted at a time.

4. Install the HDD bracket back to the NVR.

5. Connect the power cables and data cables.

6. Replace the cover and fasten the screws of the NVR.
