2 FastTrace-R Setup Instructions
This chapter contains instructions to setup the FastTrace-R.
2.1 Physical Location
The location within the protected premises of the FastTrace-R should be considered carefully
and the following notes are provided for guidance.
• Physical Security - The FastTrace-R should be located where it will remain secure under
all conditions, even when the premises are open or occupied. The safest place would be a
room (or cabinet) with a lockable door. It should not be visible from outside the premises
and not be accessible to occupant or visitor tampering.
Caution: FastTrace-R equipment must be used only in an INDOOR environment.
• System Wiring - Ideally, the FastTrace-R’s position will be close to the centre of the site
wiring. Excessive cable runs will increase the installation cost, cause voltage drops,
degrade signals, and offer greater scope for EMI/RFI (electrical interference) induced faults,
tampers, and false alarms. Wiring considerations should include the following:
- The largest wiring requirement is the coaxial camera cabling and the wiring to the
alarm input and output devices
- Mains power
- The system requires at least one video camera and associated coaxial cabling for
system setup
• Environment - Choose an inside location that is cool and dry. Do not mount the FastTrace-
R anywhere near machinery that generates heat, toxic fumes and dust. Do not mount the
FastTrace-R in close proximity to sources of radio frequency or other electromagnetic
radiation. These include radio transmitters (both fixed and portable), electric motors,
refrigeration or air conditioning systems and high power or multiphase switching equipment.
Caution: FastTrace-R should be given time to adjust to room temperature before it is turned
on. The hard disk storage devices have a defined operational temperature range of
0 to 40 degrees Celsius. It is recommended the FastTrace-R be given a period of 24
hours to acclimatise.
2.2 General Power Requirements
Any AC supply connected to the FastTrace-R should be:
• Provided from a reliable electric supply company - typically this means that the power is not
disconnected (or lost) for any more than eight hours at a time in any 36 hour period and
infrequently in a single year.
• Provided from a supply bus within the protected premises that is not isolated at night (or out
of hours) or time switched. The supply should be free from voltage spikes or current surges
(connected to high power switching equipment or electric motors).
• Supplied directly to the FastTrace-R via circuits that cannot be switched off, intentionally or
accidentally.
Always consider local regulations, standards, and guidelines for mains power connected
systems.
