Installation
This section describes how to install the TVR 42 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 42 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 42 and its acce ssories
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.

3. Attach the DVR to the front rails (C). The screws are not supplied.
Caution:
Do not rack-mount the TVR 42 without the rear rails installed. Failure to install
the rear rails can damage the DVR.
PTZ dome camera set up
Use the USB mouse provided or the optional keypad for local telemetry control. If
using the TVR 42 over a network, use the web browser to control the PTZ dome
cameras or TruVision Navigator.
TruVision DVR 42 User Manual 11
See Appendix B on page145 for the supported protocols and Appendix F on
page 158 for the PTZ commands supported by each protocol.
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
47.
Connecting a TVR 42 to a PTZ dome camera and a
keypad
You can connect the KTD-405 or TVK-800 keypad to the DVR. The KTD-405 is a
RS-485 bus keypad and the TVK-800 is an IP keypad.
For information on using the TVK-800 keypad, please refer to the TVK-800 user
manual.
When connecting the KTD-405 keypad, use the input/output box that is supplied
with the keypad to connect a keypad to the TVR 42. The keypad can be
connected to a PTZ camera for local control or for control over the network.
See Figure 4 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 4: Connecting a KTD-405 keypad to the TVR 42 for control of a PTZ dome camera

Configuring the PTZ protocols for Interlogix c ame ras
Before the PTZ dome cameras are assembled in their housings, set their
protocol and address DIP switches for the TVR 42. See Table 3 on page 13 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 KTD-405 keypad
The KTD-405 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 5 below.
Figure 5: RS-485 bus serial wiring

connected to each output. See Figure 7 on page 18.

Using the mouse
The USB mouse provided with the DVR 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 DVR 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 window. Click the left
mouse button to enter or confirm a selection.
You can purchase a spare mouse by ordering part number TVR-MOUSE-1.

Using the IR remote control
The TVR 42 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 42.
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 42.
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.
