Installation Best Practices
Selecting a Location and Other Installation Requirements
CAUTION - DVR INSTALLATION:
• DO NOT install the DVR in a location where the
unit is exposed to extreme heat. Installation close
to extreme heat will void the product warranty.
• DO NOT install the DVR in a location where
the unit is exposed to moisture, such as
condensation from air conditioning units or
open windows.
• Route the wiring and cables away from sharp
edges that could damage the insulation. Avoid
sharp bends in the cable.
• Contact the AngelTrax technical support staff
at 1.800.673.1788 before attaching the DVR to
other equipment in the vehicle.
ATCF460 DVRs are secured with a security front cover and a cable cover.
The DVR can be installed horizontally or vertically.
Before installing your DVR, keep in mind a well-ventilated location and sufficient clearance around the unit are key factors in performance
and maintenance. Refer to the Selecting a Location and Other Installation Requirements Section, page 7, for further information.
Ventilated Location
Install the DVR AWAY FROM any sort of heat outlet, heater
or AC blower. Do not operate the DVR in a closed-in area or
restrict ventilation in any way. The DVR requires air circulation to
maintain optimum operating temperature and provide
best performance.
Dry Location
Install the DVR AWAY FROM any sort of outlet which could build
up or dispense moisture. The DVR requires arid conditions to
maintain and provide best performance.
Mount to Secure Surfaces Only
Do not mount the DVR to a plastic panel or other surface that is
subject to constant vibration.
Mounting Orientation
Mount the DVR in either a horizontal or vertical orientation.
Clearance Around the DVR
Allow sufficient clearance of at least six (6) inches in front of the
DVR, and two (2) inches on each side for removal of the security
front cover and easy access to the CF card and USB port. Allow
sufficient clearance behind the DVR for camera cables, mounting
cables, Ethernet cables and power cables.
Mounting Cables
The radius for the mounting cables will be dictated by the cable
cover. The rearmost surface of the cable cover will be about three
(3) inches from the back of the DVR to allow camera cables to
bend over each other.
Power Cables
Provide enough slack on the power cable to prevent any force
from being exerted on the connectors. A single four-inch (4”)
diameter loop is sufficient.
