Installation
This section describes how to install the TVN 21(P) 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 recorder. Do not install the unit on top of other
hot equipment. Leave 44 mm (1.75 in.) of space between rack-mounted TruVision NVR
21(P) 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 recorder 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 RS-485 bus,
extending the output an additional 1200 m. Up to 31 recorders can be connected to
each output. See Figure 4 below.

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.

Using the mouse
The USB mouse provided with the recorder can be used to operate all the functions of
the recorder, 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 recorder by plugging the mouse USB connector into the USB
port on the front or 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. 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 recorder 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 recorder.
The IR remote control can be programmed with a unique device ID address so that the
controller will only be able to communicate with recorders with that address. No
programming is necessary if using a single recorder.
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 IR
Remote Control.
