Installation
Installation environment
When installing your product, consider these factors:
• Ventilation
• Temperature
• Moisture
• Chassis load
Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that the location planned for the installation of
the unit is well ventilated.
Temperature: Consider the unit’s operating temperature (0 to 40°C, 32 to 104°F) and
noncondensing humidity specifications (10 to 90%) before choosing an installation
location. Extremes of heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits
may reduce the life expectancy of the TruVision DVR 60. Do not install the unit on top
of other hot equipment. Leave 44 mm (1.75 in.) of space between rack-mounted
TruVision DVR 60 units.
Moisture: Do not use the unit near water. Moisture can damage the internal
components. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain
or moisture.
Chassis: Equipment weighing less than 15.9 kg (35 lb.) may be placed on top of the
unit.
Unpacking the TVR 60 and its accessories
When you receive the product, check the package and contents for damage, and
verify that all items are included. There is an item list included in the package. If any
of the items are damaged or missing, please contact your local supplier.

Wiring the TVK-505U keypad
The TVR-505U keypad uses RS-485 simplex wiring. The signal is transferred by a
single twisted pair line. An unshielded CAT5 network cable is recommended for
normal applications. Use a shielded CAT5 cable if the cables could be exposed to
interference. Ground one end of the cable, either the first or last device on the RS-485
line.
The maximum number of devices that can be installed in one bus is 255, with a
maximum cable length of 1200 m. Both can be expanded using a signal distributor.
Both the first and the last device in series should be terminated with 120 Ohm
resistance to minimize line reflections. See Figure 3 below.
Figure 3: RS-485 bus serial wiring
1. TVK-505U keypad 2. I/O box
The cable length from box to device cannot exceed 2 m when using connector boxes.
See Figure 4 on page 9.

1BChapter 2: Installation
10 TruVision DVR 60 User Manual
Use an RS-485/KTD-83 signal distributor to increase the maximum number of devices
on the bus as well as the total range. Each distributor output provides another RS485 bus, extending the output an additional 1200 m. Up to 31 TVR 60s can be
connected to each output. See Figure 6 below.
Figure 6: Expanding the system with an RS-485 signal distributor
1. TVK-505U keypad
2. I/O box
3. RS-485/KTD-83 distributor
Caution: Most signal distributors are unidirectional. This means that the signal only
flows from the input towards the outputs. Consequently it is not possible to connect
several keypads.
See “RS-485 ports” below to configure the RS-485 port communication settings.
RS-485 ports
There are two RS-485 ports:
• Dome RS-485: Connect pan, tilt, zoom control of PTZ dome cameras
• Keyb: Connect the keypad
See Figure 7 on page 11 for the serial pin outs.
1BChapter 2: Installation
TruVision DVR 60 User Manual 11
Figure 7: RS-485 pins
RS-232 port
The RS-232 port will be available for future use to connect CBR-PB3-POS (point-ofsale) and ATM devices to the TVR 60.
Monitor connections
Connect the unit to the monitors via 75-ohm video coaxial cables with BNC
connectors. The unit provides a 1 Vpp CVBS signal. See Figure 1 on page 5 for
connecting a monitor to a TVR 60.
The TVR 60 supports up to 1280 × 1024 / 60 Hz resolution in VGA. The monitor
resolution should be at least 800 × 600. Adjust your monitor accordingly to this
resolution.
Loop through
You can loop through the analog cameras to equipment such as a matrix, monitors
or a second DVR. There are 16 numbered loop-through BNC outputs. See Figure 1 on
page 5.
Audio inputs and output
The unit is equipped with 16 audio inputs and two audio outputs. Both the audio
output and the audio inputs are line-level. Each 16 audio input is associated with one
of the 16 cameras.
1BChapter 2: Installation
12 TruVision DVR 60 User Manual
Audio input RCA jack, 315 mV, 40k Ohms. Unbalanced
Audio output RCA jack, 315mV, 600 Ohms. Unbalanced
Note: Line-level audio requires amplification.
Brackets
The DVR is easily rack-mountable with the purchase of the TVR-RK-1 rack-mount kit.
See Figure 8 below.
Figure 8: Rack mount installation
Attach small rack ears to unit
(screws enclosed)
Attach DVR to front rails
(screws not included)
To install the racks:
1. Attach the two small rack ears.
2. Attach the two large rear support brackets to the rear rails.
3. Attach the DVR to the front rails.
Caution:
Do not rack mount the TVR 60 without the rear rails installed. Failure to install the rear
rails can damage the DVR.
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (40°C) specified by the manufacturer.
1BChapter 2: Installation
TruVision DVR 60 User Manual 13
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that
a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

you navigate and make changes to settings in the user interface.
Connect the mouse to the TVR 60 by plugging the mouse USB connector into the USB
port on the back panel. The mouse is immediately operational and the pointer should
appear.
Note: Use a USB 1.1 or higher mouse.
Move the pointer to a command, option, or button on a screen. Left-click the mouse
to confirm a selection.

Using the IR remote control
The TVR 60 is supplied with an infra red (IR) remote control unit. Like the mouse, it can
be used to operate all of the main functions of the TVR 60.
The IR remote control can be programmed with a unique address so that the
controller will only be able to communicate with DVRs with that address. No
programming is necessary if using a single TVR 60.
You can purchase a remote control by ordering part number TVR-REMOTE-1
TruVision™ DVR Model 40/60 IR Remote Control.
