The Video External Pulse connection (VEXT) simplifies  
multiplexer operation by automatically synchronizing the  
Multiplexer and the VDR.  
The VDR sends a VEXT pulse to the Multiplexer indicating that it  
is ready to record the next image. The Multiplexer responds by  
sending the next image to the Video Input on the VDR.  
The VEXT connection is especially beneficial for units  
configured with dual record speeds (Normal and Alarm).  
Use of the VEXT connection is Highly Recommended when  
connecting the unit to a multiplexer.

1.11 The Removable Hard Drive  
The Kalatel VDR has a built-in removable hard drive that comes in 40, 80, and 160 GB models. The hard  
drive is hot swappable; meaning the VDR need not be powered down before drive removal. However, it is  
recommended that the drive not be removed during any drive activity (read/writes).  
Whatever state (recording, playback) the drive is operating in, when it is removed, is the same state it will  
start up in when reinstalled.

1. Pull the active handle outward.  
2. Use the key provided and place the key lock in position 3  
shown above (rotate counter clockwise).  
3. Pull the handle outward and slide the carrier body away from the cartridge frame.  
To reinsert the drive perform the above steps in reverse. The Kalatel VDR will reset when the  
drive is installed.  
1.13 Using CompactFlash Storage Cards  
The VDR uses industry standard Type I CompactFlash Storage Cards of varying capacities up to 512Mb  
(See Section 8 for tested manufacturers). The CompactFlash cards can be used to store, retrieve, and  
transport selected video files. The video files can be played back using GE Interlogix QuickWave software  
that is automatically copied to the CF card. GE Interlogix recommends that upon initial use a minimum of  
two CF cards be purchased. One CF card is used to create a Master CF card and the other(s) for the  
copying and transfer of video files.  
0150-0255C

Kalatel VDR

Master CF card  
The Master CF card is used to store and transfer the resident QuickWave application back onto Blank  
HDD’s that can be inserted into the VDR. A blank HDD is defined as one not containing QuickWave  
software.  
Creating a Master CF card  
Upon initial use of the VDR:  
1. Insert the selected CF card to be used as a Master in the CF card slot with the label (top)  
facing to the right. Slide in the card until it is firmly seated in the socket. The following message  
will appear.  
Compact Flash  
Compact Flash detected. Initializing...  
2. If the CF card is formatted QuickWave will be copied to it without any user intervention. A  
“Writing QuickWave” status bar will display. To format an unformatted CF card please go the  
Format command in the Main Menu under Compact Flash. The Format command places a  
FAT16 file system on the CF card. Please note that formatting the CF card permanently erases  
any data currently stored on that card. After formatting, QuickWave is automatically copied to  
the CF card.  
3. Remove the Master CF card and label it “Master CF card”. GE Interlogix recommends that this  
Master CF card be stored in a safe place for use whenever a new and blank HDD is inserted  
into the VDR.  
Note: When a new HDD is detected in the VDR, the VDR will request that the Master  
CompactFlash be inserted in the CF card slot so that QuickWave may be copied to it.  
Units equipped from the factory with HDDs have QuickWave preinstalled.  
NOTE  
To Use a CF card:  
1. Stop all recording or playback operations on the VDR.  
2. Insert the CF card into the CF card slot with the label (top) facing to the right. Slide in the card  
until it is firmly seated in the socket. The following message will appear.  
Kalatel VDR

0150-0255C  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Compact Flash  
Compact Flash detected. Initializing...  
4. When this message disappears the CF card is ready for use. The first time a CF card is used  
we recommend that the card be formatted using the Format command in the Main Menu under  
Compact Flash. The Format command places a FAT16 file system on the CF card. Please note  
that formatting the CF card permanently erases any data currently stored on that card.  
5. Once Formatting is complete the CF card will be ready for use. For detailed information on the  
Storage and Retrieval of data, please see Section 4.6 Main Menu ® CompactFlash.  
6. Once operations are complete remove the CF card by grasping it with your thumb and forefinger  
and pulling it out of the CF card slot.

9 WARRANTY AND SERVICE  
9.1 Factory Service  
Warning: Do not open the top cover or attempt to service the unit, as this may expose  
you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Programmer maintenance of this unit is  
limited to external cleaning and inspection. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.  
If the unit requires factory service, contact the dealer who supplied the unit to you for the correct  
procedures on returning the unit to the factory or the nearest factory service center.  
If the dealer is not available, contact the manufacturer of the unit as detailed below and request a  
Return Material Authorization number (RMA). The unit’s serial number must be provided before a  
RMA number can be issued. Units returned to the factory for service must have freight and insurance  
prepaid, and must show the RMA number clearly on all shipping documents. The failure symptoms  
must be clearly described by the operator and enclosed with the unit together with a copy of the  
original suppliers invoice. Failure to comply with these instructions will delay service of the unit, and  
may result in the unit not being accepted by the Repair Center.

9.2 Warranty and Return Information  
GE Interlogix warrants all of its equipment for three years from the date of purchase. This warranty covers  
any defects in materials and workmanship. Equipment failures that are due to improper installation,  
modification, abuse, or acts of nature will not be covered by this warranty. The repair department will  
evaluate all equipment returned for repair to determine warranty coverage. The Tech Support Manager  
will resolve any questions that may arise during evaluation to make a final determination.  
Note: The three-year warranty does not apply to the following products:  
MobileView® and the monitor CRT, which carry a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase.  
The warranty specifically covers any defects in material and workmanship and does not cover equipment  
that has been abused, damaged, or modified.  
For all warranty repairs, GE Interlogix will cover all costs, including parts, labor, and shipping. Repaired  
equipment will be returned via the same method of shipment in which it was received. If a customer  
requests a faster return shipment, the difference will be charged.  
For all non-warranty repairs, the customer will be billed for parts, labor, and shipping. Labor will be  
billed in half-hour increments.  
Note: Customers requesting an estimate prior to repair will be notified by phone. If they cannot be reached, they will be notified by  
fax. If we are unable to reach the contact person for repair authorization after one phone attempt and two fax attempts, the  
equipment will be returned without being repaired. We will hold equipment no longer than two weeks.  
Advance Replacement Policy  
When an advance replacement is required, we will send the customer replacement equipment from our  
stock and receive the returned product in exchange. The received equipment will be evaluated and the  
repair department will determine whether it is a warranty replacement. If it is non-warranty, see our repair  
policy above for details. The following guidelines will be used for all advance replacements:  
· Fewer than 45 days from purchase, GE Interlogix will replace the product with new equipment.  
· From 45 days to 1 year from purchase, GE Interlogix will replace the product with refurbished  
equipment.  
· From 1 year to 3 years from purchase, the product must be sent in for repair. Advance  
replacements will be sent for a fee of $100.  
If you have questions about this policy, please contact the GE Interlogix RMA Department at  
800-469-1676.
