Timer Backup

The timer can be used to archive data in the main hard
disk drive which has not yet been backed up. The unit can
archive data even if it is currently in the process of Timer
Recording. Please check the settings for backup over-writ-
ing. (Refer to page 30 for more details.)

Make sure to connect the archive device using

SCSI ID4.

Example: Use Program #5 in the Timer operational mode
P2 to make a backup everyday between 00:00 to 05:00.
(All data is backed up in one session.)

A recording operation warning is displayed when

hard disk drive data which has yet to be backed up
is about to be over-written. After that, a recording
malfunction message will be displayed when that
point has been exceeded.

INFORMATION

The unit can be set so that a CALL

OUT signal is emitted when the archive medium has
run out of storage space. Refer to page 27 for more
details on CALL OUT settings.

Power failure reset recording

The unit will restart recording after the event of a power
failure, even if the unit was running in recording mode prior
to the power failure. When running Timer Recording, the
unit will restart recording if the power failure ends before
the user-specified time frame. After a power outage, a mark
“X” will appear on the monitor next to the time display. This
can be removed by pushing the WARNING RESET but-
ton.

In the case of a power failure during recording,

image quality may be partially degraded and search
functions may not operate normally.

Power failure time display

The start-times of power failures are recorded when the
unit is turning on electricity, and can be confirmed later.
(Start times of power failures occurring during backup op-
eration are not recorded.) Refer to page 28 for more de-
tails.
