1.4. Installation Best Practices
The TL DVR is secured with a security front cover and a cable cover. Two cable
grommets (and two knockouts) on the cable cover allow wiring to enter from the left
side, right side, or back of the unit.
The DVR can be installed horizontally or vertically but not upside down.
Before installing the TL DVR, keep in mind that a well-ventilated location and
sufficient clearance around the unit are key factors in performance and maintenance.
See Table 1
for information on installation requirements.
CAUTION: Heat or Moisture Damage Risk
Do not install the DVR in a location where the unit is exposed to
excessive heat or moisture. Installation close to extreme heat or moisture
will void the product warranty.
Route the wiring and cables away from sharp edges that might damage
the insulation. Avoid sharp bends in the cable.
Contact Seon before attaching the DVR to other equipment in the vehicle.
Table 1 Choosing a Location and Other Installation Requirements
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. Do not expose the DVR to moisture.
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, or hung right
side up but not upside down.
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 hard drive and USB ports.
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 3 inches from the back of the
DVR to allow camera cables to bend over each other.
Ethernet cables
Avoid right angle bends in the Ethernet cables.
Power cables
Provide enough slack on the power cable to prevent any force from being
exerted on the connectors. A single 4-inch diameter loop is sufficient.
