UPS: remember the cameras
Powering the cameras (or their power supply) from a UPS ensures that the Multi-Media
unit can continue to record video during a power outage, whether the outage is due to
your utility or to a criminal act.
Honeywell recommends that a line conditioning uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) be used with the Multi-Media unit and the cameras connected to the unit.

Without a UPS?
When a UPS is not used, the Multi-Media unit should be connected to a dedicated
ground circuit. The outlet and breaker box should be marked as such. Nothing else
should be plugged into this circuit.
2.4.1 Powering Up and Down
Wait after turning on a unit
During the two minutes a REMM unit needs to initialize, it is good practice to not turn it
off.
A “unit recovery” process can be triggered if the unit is turned off before initialization is
complete. The end of the initialization is signaled by a double-beep from the unit.
!15 The power up sequence recommended by Honeywell
1. Plug the Multi-Media unit and its cameras into a power source, preferably an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
2. Turn on camera(s) and other hardware, connected to the unit.
3. Turn on the Multi-Media unit.
!16 The power down sequence
1. Press and hold the power switch on the front of the Multi-Media unit for up to
five seconds.
2. Unplug the Multi-Media unit from the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or wall
outlet.
3. Power down the camera(s) and/or other hardware.
4. Power down the UPS, if in use.
If cameras are turned on after the Multi-Media unit, they will not be auto-detected
by the unit.
