Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the VCR from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service person­nel under the following conditions:
1. When the power cord or plug is damaged.
2. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the VCR.
3. If the VCR does not operate normally when following the operating instruc­tions.
Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper ad­justment of other controls may cause damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the VCR to normal operation.
4. If the VCR was dropped or the cabinet damaged.
5. When the VCR shows a distinct change in performance–this indicates a need for service.
Replacement Parts
Be sure the service technician uses only replacement parts Pelco recommends, or which have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitu­tions may cause fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repair to the VCR, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine whether it is in safe operating condition.
Water/Moisture/Condensation
Do not use this VCR near water. It is designed for indoor use only and must not be installed where exposed to rain and moisture.
Do not place objects containing water, such as drinks, on top of the VCR.
If the VCR is exposed to a rapid increase in temperature (such as warming a cold room or after moving it from a cold location to a warm one), condensation may form on the tape transport mechanism inside the VCR. To prevent damage to the VCR or tapes, plug the VCR into the AC outlet and turn the power on for about two hours. Do not play back or record on the VCR during this time.
Condensation is likely to occur when:
1. The VCR is moved from a cold room to a warm room or from outdoors to indoors.
2. A cold room is heated quickly.
3. The humidity is very high.
Avoid using the VCR where cold air (such as from an air conditioner) will blow directly on it.
6 Pelco Manual C650M (12/98)
Cleaning
Unplug the VCR from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Clean with a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent and water. Wipe dry. NEVER USE PETROLEUM-BASED SOLUTIONS.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by Pelco as they may cause hazards.
Accessories
Do not place the VCR on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The VCR may fall, seriously injuring a person or damaging the equipment. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by Pelco, or sold with the VCR. Follow Pelco’s instructions when mounting equipment, and use a mounting acces­sory recommended by Pelco.
Use care when moving equipment on a cart. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may overturn the VCR and cart combination.
Do Not Place Anything Heavy On The VCR
Heavy objects placed on the VCR will cause damage.
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation and ensure reliable operation of the VCR and protect it from overheating. Do not block or cover these openings. Never place the VCR near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place it in a built-in installation such as a rack unless proper ventilation is provided or Pelco’s instructions have been followed. There are many ventilation holes on the bottom of the VCR–for maximum ventilation, place it on a hard level surface only.
Power Sources
Operate this VCR only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are unsure of the type of power supply, consult your equipment dealer or local power company.
WARNING:
The in­cluded power cord is used for 120 VAC, 60 Hz. Never connect to any outlet or power supply having a dif­ferent voltage or fre­quency.
Grounding or Polarization
This VCR is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug–a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug only fits into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety feature. If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Power Cord Protection
Do not damage the power cord; it may cause fire or shock hazard. Route the power cord so it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Pay particular attention to the cord at the wall plug or convenience receptacle and the point where it connects to the VCR. When unplugging the power cord, grasp the plug and remove it carefully.
Lightning/Power Surges
Unplug the VCR from the wall outlet for its added protection during a lightning storm or when it is unused for long periods. This prevents damage to the VCR from light­ning and power line surges.

2.0 OVERVIEW

2.1 INTRODUCTION TO TIME-LAPSE RECORDERS

Time-lapse recording permits longer than ordinary recording times. The primary reason for using time-lapse recording in a CCTV security system is that a single VCR tape can be used for an extended period of time beyond the standard record­ing time. The following explains how time-lapse recording works.
The actual recording on VCRs is a series of still pictures or fields. Standard con­sumer VHS recorders store 60 fields (30 frames) per second. A T-120 cassette lasts just two hours in this mode (SP mode). You can get slightly longer recording times (six hours) using the extended recording mode (EP mode). You can record even longer on a T-160 cassette in these modes: two hours and 40 minutes in SP mode and eight hours in EP mode. (Refer to the table in Section 8.1.1 for actual recording times in different modes.)
Time-lapse VCRs, however, use microprocessor-based techniques to record fewer fields per second than a normal VHS machine and extend recording time. This ne­gates the need to change the tape every two hours–and also substantially reduces viewing time when the recording is played back, another important consideration.
In normal VCR operation, all video head scans (60 per second) are recorded. But in time-lapse mode the tape runs more slowly and records pictures periodically. In 12­hour mode, a normal time-lapse machine records 10 fields per second, and in 24­hour mode, it stores just five fields per second (for up to 12 and 24 hours on a tape, respectively). Longer times are possible by slowing the recording rate further.
At normal speed a picture is recorded every 1/60 of a second so there is little change over five frames. In longer time-lapse modes, however, a field is recorded intermit­tently over a longer period of time so changes are apparent from field to field.
The time-lapse recording can be played back at normal two-hour tape speed, which makes for rapid review–one of the time-lapse recorder’s most important advan­tages. Action on the tape, however, appears faster than normal.
As an advanced feature, time-lapse recorders (like the TLR2024) can automatically switch from time-lapse to real-time recording when an alarm condition occurs. This is important since the primary purpose of recording an event is identification, and real-time recording provides more detail.

2.2 TLR2024 FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

The TLR2024 time-lapse VCR is a powerful surveillance tool designed for industrial and security recording. In addition to ordinary two-hour and six-hour recording modes, it has time-lapse modes that allow recording in 12- and 24-hour modes. The TLR2024 features frame-by-frame playback and high-speed playback of longer recordings.
Audio Recording–Audio recorded in 2H, 6H, L(inear)12H, or L24H modes is played back only in its respective mode.
Resolution And Image Quality–This VCR has a high-quality circuit allowing more than 330 lines in B/W (black and white) mode, and more than 240 lines in color mode.
Automatic Head Cleaning–The VCR automatically removes foreign matter from the heads when a cassette is inserted for continuous smooth operation.
Easy Setup Using A Monitor– The on-screen menus simplify setup programming. You can select these menus even without inputting a video signal.
Easy Cueing With Alarm Recording–Index signals are automatically added at the beginning of alarm recording for easy cueing. You can even use the monitor to confirm the starting time of alarm recording.
Pelco Manual C650M (12/98) 9
External Time Clock Adjustment–You can reset the on-screen clock to the near­est hour by applying a signal to the RST (reset) IN terminal at the rear of the VCR.
Record Check–You can confirm correct recording by pressing the PLAY button during recording.
Special Playback Features–These include still images, speed search, reverse playback, frame-by-frame viewing in both directions, slow-motion, and high-speed viewing.
JOG Dial/SHUTTLE Ring–You can use these controls to search for the desired image. You can adjust the playback speed with the SHUTTLE ring and search for an image frame-by-frame with the JOG dial.
Recording Options–This versatile system offers a variety of recording options, including daily and weekly timer recording, repeat, and alarm recording.
NOTE:
The battery backup is for memory only–the VCR does not continue recording if the power goes out. If you want to keep re­cording during an outage, make sure the VCR system is on your UPS (uninterruptible power supply) system.
Protection Against Power Failures–Recording data (including date, time, and timer setup) is stored in backup memory, so the system can resume recording after a power failure. The monitor displays the time of the failure.
Digital <ELAPSED TIME> Display–The elapsed time of recording and playback is stored in non-volatile memory. You can use the elapsed time display as a guide to when to do periodic maintenance.
Tape Use Counter–This counter displays how many times you have recorded on a tape. This helps you decide when you need to replace a tape.
Daylight Saving Time Setting–A daylight saving time setting is available. You can set the clock forward an hour by programming the menu.

4.0 INSTALLATION

4.1 PRE-INSTALLATION CAUTIONS

1. Provide secure power to system components. Prevent overloading or shorting by dedicating power circuits to the surveillance equipment. Restrict access to the surveillance system circuit breakers, switches, and equipment power cords.
2. Surveillance system components must be operationally compatible. Time-lapse recording speeds and dwell times of any accessory switching equipment must be compatible with each other.
3. The TLR2024 time-lapse VCR provides multiple alarm recording speeds so it is important that alarm triggering of components be operationally compatible. Refer to Section 2.1 for information on time-lapse recording.
4. Complete all system hookups (camera, multiplexer, etc.) before installing the VCR in a location where you cannot access its rear panel.

4.1.1 Securing the VCR Controls

Protect surveillance equipment to forestall tampering. We recommend putting the recorder in a secure VCR cabinet. Pelco offers such units–the RM2000, which is a rack kit for a single VCR, and the RM2004, which is a rack kit for four VCRs.

4.1.2 Monitor Tips

Pelco recommends using a CCTV monitor.
Some monitors may cause picture vibration or picture distortion at the top or bottom of the image during still or normal playback. (Refer to Section 9.4.3 for information.)
A television may be unable to provide a stable picture without vibration or distortion.

4.2 INSTALLATION

1. Remove the VCR and all cables from the box.
2. Place the VCR in a suitable location.
If the location is unsecured, refer to Section 4.1.1 for information about
products to lock up the VCR.
Do all system hookups (camera, multiplexer, etc.) before installing the
VCR in a location where you cannot access its rear panel.
3. If installing in a rack, place the VCR in the rack before making cable and power connections. Refer to the documentation included with the rack kit for specific installation instructions.
4. If you are not using a switcher, refer to Figure 1.
Connect the camera (video output) to the rear of the VCR (video input
BNC). Connect the VCR (video output BNC) to the monitor (video input).

7.0 LOADING/UNLOADING/PROTECTING THE TAPE CASSETTE

You can load video cassette tapes into your VCR as long as it is plugged into a power source. Loading a cassette automatically turns the VCR on even if its power switch is turned off. Use only video cassette tapes marked VHS.
Use only standard grade VHS cassette tapes for reliable video recording. Do not use Pro, Hi-Fi, and High Grade tapes–they may damage the video heads. Use only T-120 or T-160 tapes.

7.1 LOADING

NOTE:
The VCR’s protection cir­cuit will eject the tape if it is loaded improperly. If the VCR ejects the tape you are trying to load, remove it and check that the contents label is facing you and the clear plastic window showing the tape faces up. Try again.
NOTE:
The VCR will eject a video cassette even if it is in STANDBY mode. When you press the EJECT button, the VCR will automatically turn on, eject the tape, and turn off. You cannot eject a tape while re­cording without first pressing the STOP button, or while the VCR is locked.
1. To position the cassette properly before inserting it in the cassette slot, hold the cassette so the long narrow edge with the contents label faces you. The hinged narrow edge should face the VCR. The clear plastic window showing the tape should face up.
2. Line up the cassette squarely with the cassette slot and gently push the video tape in until the VCR pulls it in.

7.3 PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL ERASURE

NOTE:
We recommend taking any torn or broken cassette tape requir­ing repair only to professionals who specialize in such procedures. The adhesives on many common types of tape could damage the head on the VCR.
Video cassettes come with an erasure prevention tab. When it is removed it stops the tape’s contents from being erased or recorded over. The VCR will automatically eject a cassette if you try to record over it with the erasure prevention tab removed.

• Press the PAUSE/SHUTTLE
HOLD button to momentarily stop recording. Press the button again to resume recording.
• To protect the tape, the pause
mode is automatically released after about five minutes.
• The REC button will not function
unless the tape is in the stop or pause mode.
• If the cassette you insert in the
VCR has the erasure prevention tab removed, the VCR will auto­matically eject it if you try to record on it.
• A tape recorded on this VCR can
be played back correctly on an­other VCR.
1. Load a cassette with the erasure prevention tab intact.

8.3 ALARM RECORDING

You can switch from all recording modes to the 2H – L24H alarm recording mode by applying an alarm signal to the SET IN (alarm input) terminal on the rear panel.
You can switch to alarm recording by applying the alarm input signal from the alarm sensor during recording in 2H, 6H, L12H, or L24H modes.
Set the alarm recording mode and alarm recording period in the Recording Set Up menu. Refer to Section 6.6 for instructions.
The index signal is automatically recorded when alarm recording begins (IN­DEX indicator flashes on the fluorescent display).
To record the index signal, the first 15 seconds of the alarm recording are in 2H mode (in the case of recording in 2H, L12H, or L24H mode) or 6H (in the case of recording in 6H mode).
If another alarm input signal is applied to the SET IN (alarm input) terminal while the index signal is being recorded (for 15 seconds), a new alarm record­ing will not be triggered.

10.0 ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES

10.1 COUNTER

10.1.1 Counter Memory

NOTE:
The counter display is stored in the memory when the power is turned off, so the same numbers will be displayed when the power is restored.
NOTE:
The backup is for memory only–the VCR will not continue re­cording during a power outage un­less connected to a UPS.
Press the COUNTER MEMORY/SKIP/INDEX button repeatedly until the “M” indi­cator appears on the fluorescent display. Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right and the tape will rewind to the 00000 position of the counter and stop. (The rewind to 00000 is slightly inaccurate.)

10.1.2 Tape Counter

A five-digit counter indicates the relative position on the recorded portion of the tape. EEE EE illuminates to show VCR power is in standby mode.

10.1.3 Counter Reset

Press the COUNTER RESET button to reset the counter to 00000.

10.2 MEMORY BACKUP IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE

The VCR includes a built-in memory backup so the presets for time/date, alarm list, power loss list, and the number of tape uses will remain in memory if there is a power failure or if the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet. Presets re­main in memory for a maximum of 31 days provided the VCR has been connected to AC power for at least 40 hours per week. Connection charges the battery backup.
Check the time if there has been a power failure or if the power cord has been disconnected from AC power for a prolonged period.

10.3 POWER FAILURE TIME DISPLAY

Power failure start times are stored in memory, so you can confirm the start times.

11.0 TESTING

11.1 INITIAL SYSTEM TESTING

Before using the newly-installed surveillance system, do the following:
Make test recordings at the time-lapse speeds you will be using. Test how the system performs with alarms.
Interrupt electrical power to check your installed power backup system (if ap­plicable).
On playback, verify picture quality and that you can see the time/date display under normal and alarm conditions.

11.2 REGULAR SYSTEM TESTING

Every day check that the system is operating. Is the REC indicator lit? does the COUNTER display indicate movement? Does the monitor show proper camera sequencing and time/date information?
Check for recorded alarms. Multiple alarms could make the tape run out early. Make sure there is enough tape to record at least five minutes of alarm activity at the selected speed.
Regularly verify picture quality and operation under normal and alarm conditions. Play a tape recorded recently under normal conditions, which also includes an alarm condition that you triggered manually.
Regularly replace tapes (refer to Table D for a schedule). Check tapes for head scarring. Replace damaged tapes. Always store tapes in their boxes; away from magnetic fields, heat, direct sunlight, and dust.

12.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

12.1 SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION AND WARNING DISPLAY

The VCR uses self-diagnostics to detect internal malfunctions during recording. If one occurs, the VCR indicates it on the monitor and in the VCR’s fluorescent dis­play.

First, check the cassette. If there seems to be nothing wrong with it, try recording again. If “CHECK” is still displayed, change the cassette with a new one and try recording again. Otherwise, unplug the power cord and contact the dealer.
Turn off the indication on the fluorescent display and on the screen by pressing the EJECT button or rewinding the tape.
When a video signal is restored or record mode is cleared, the indication on the screen turns off.
* Lack of video input signal.
If the VCR is set to record and it does not detect an input signal, NO SIGNAL appears on the monitor and the call signal is output from the rear terminal.
Check that the cable from the camera is not broken and camera’s power has not been lost.
