Physical installation
This section describes how to install the recorder.
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 DVR 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.

The IR remote control
The recorder is supplied with an infrared (IR) remote control unit. Like the mouse, it can
be used to operate all of the main functi ons of the unit.
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.
The remote control is only included for the US.
For EMEA: You can purchase a remote control by ordering part number TVR-
REMOTE-1.
