Installation
This section describes how to install the TVN 50 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 NVR. Do not install the
unit on top of other hot equipment. Leave 44 mm (1.75 in.) of space between
rack-mounted TruVision NVR 50 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 TVN 50 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 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 2 below.

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 addi tional 1200 m. Up to 31 NVRs can be
connected to each output. See Figure 4 below.

Caution: Most signal distributors are unidirectional. This means tha t t he sig nal

Monitor connections
Connect the unit to a monitor via a 75-ohm video coaxial cable with the BNC
connector. The unit provides a 1 Vp-p CVBS signal. See Figure 1 on page 5 for
connecting a monitor to a TVN 50.
The TVN 50 supports up to 1920 × 1080 / 60 Hz resolution in VGA. The monitor
resolution should be at least 800 × 600. Adjust your monitor accordingly to this
resolution.

Using the IR remote control
The TVN 50 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 TVN 50.
The IR remote control can be programmed with a unique device ID address so
that the controller will only be able to communicate with NVRs with that address.
No programming is necessary if using a single TVN 50.
The device ID address only applies when using a remote control and not when
using a keypad.
