Installation

This section describes how to install the TVR 41 unit.

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 (-10 to +55 ºC, 14 to 131 °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 DVR. Do not install the unit on top of other hot equipment. Leave 44 mm (1.75 in.) of space between rack-mounted TruVision DVR 41 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 41 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.

PTZ dome camera set up

Use the USB mouse provided or the optional keypad for local telemetry control. If using the TVR 41 over a network, use the web browser to control the PTZ dome cameras or TruVision Navigator.

See Appendix B on page151 for the supported protocols and Appendix F on page 165 for the PTZ commands supported by each protocol.

TruVision DVR 41 User Manual

1BChapter 2: Installation

Each PTZ camera must be set up individually. For information on configuring PTZ dome camera settings, see Chapter 6, “Controlling a PTZ camera” on page 43.

Connecting a TVR 41 to a PTZ dome camera and a keypad

Use the input/output box that is supplied with the keypad to connect a keypad to the TVR 41. The keypad can be connected to a PTZ camera for local control or for control over the network.

See Figure 2 below for the preferred setup. Any PTZ dome camera can be controlled as the DVR is doing the PTZ protocol translation. However, this setup provides only limited dome configuration.

Figure 2: Connecting a keypad to the TVR 41 for control of a PTZ dome camera over the network

Configuring the PTZ protocols for Interlogix cameras

Before the PTZ dome cameras are assembled in their housings, set their protocol and address DIP switches for the TVR 41. See Table 2 on page 7 for different Interlogix PTZ dome camera settings.

If you are using PTZ dome cameras from another company, please refer to their configuration instructions.

Wiring the keypad

The keypad uses RS-485 simplex wiring. The signal is transferred by a single twisted pair line. A shielded STP CAT5 network cable is recommended. 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. The cable length 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 (KTD-405 keypad shown)

1.	Keypad	3. See section “RS-485 ports” on page 12
2.	I/O box

Use an RS-485 signal distributor for a star wiring configuration. See Figure 4 on page 11.

2.	I/O box

Use an RS-485 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 41s can be connected to each output. See Figure 5 on page 12.

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 section “RS-485 ports” below to configure the RS-485 port communication settings.

RS-485 ports

There are two RS-485 ports on the back panel of the DVR. See Figure 6 on page 13 for the serial pin outs.

RS-232 port

Use the RS-232 port to connect CBR-PB3-POS (point-of-sale) and ATM devices to the DVR. See “Configuring the RS-232 port” on page 133 to configure the port.

Monitor connections

Connect the monitors to the DVR outputs (BNC/VGA/HMDI). The unit provides a 1 Vp-p CVBS signal. See Figure 1 on page 5 for connecting a monitor to a

TVR 41.

The TVR 41 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 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.

Audio input	RCA jack, 315 mV, 40 kohms. Unbalanced

Audio output	RCA jack, 315mV, 600 ohms. Unbalanced

Note: Line-level audio requires amplification.

2BChapter 3: Getting started

Using the setup wizard

The TVR 41 has an express installation wizard that lets you easily configure basic DVR settings when first used. It configures all cameras simultaneously. The configuration can then be customized as required.

By default the setup wizard will start once the DVR has loaded. It will walk you through some of the more important settings of your DVR.

Any changes you make to a setup configuration page are saved when you exit the page and return to the main wizard page.

Note: If you want to set up the DVR with default settings only, click Next in each screen until the end.

To quickly set up the TVR 41:

1.Connect all the devices required to the back panel of the DVR. See Figure 1 on page 5.

2.Turn on the unit using the power switch on the front panel. After the boot up screen, the DVR displays video images on screen.

3.Select the preferred language for the system from the dropdown list and then click Next.

4.Enable or disable the option to start the wizard automatically when the DVR is turned on. Click Next.

5.Administrator configuration:

If you should forget the password to your DVR, contact your supplier with the serial number of your DVR to obtain a secure code to reset your DVR.

Click Next.

6.Time and date configuration:

Select the desired time zone, date format, system time and system date.

Note: Daylight savings time (DST) cannot be configured from the wizard. See

“Configuring time and date” on page 38 for more information on DST.

Using the mouse

The USB mouse provided with the TVR 41 can be used to operate all the functions of the DVR, unlike the front panel which has limited functionality. The USB mouse lets you navigate and make changes to settings in the user interface.

Connect the mouse to the TVR 41 by plugging the mouse USB connector into the USB port on the back or front 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. Click the left mouse button to enter or confirm a selection.

You can purchase a spare mouse by ordering part number TVR-MOUSE-1 TruVision™ DVR Model 40/41/60 Mouse.

Using the IR remote control

The TVR 41 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 41.

The IR remote control can be programmed with a unique device ID 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 41.

The device ID address only applies when using a remote control and not when using a keypad.

You can purchase a remote control by ordering part number TVR-REMOTE-1 TruVision™ DVR Model 40/41/60 IR Remote Control.
