Power Source and Power Cord  
WARNING: The included  
power cord is used for 120  
VAC, 60 Hz. Never connect  
any outlet or power supply  
having a different voltage or  
frequency. If you are unsure  
of the type of power supply,  
consult your equipment  
dealer or local power  
Do not damage the power cord—it may cause fire or shock hazard. Route the cord so it will  
not 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.  
Installation/Servicing  
Installation and servicing should be done by qualified service personnel only and conform  
to all local codes. Do not try to service the VCR yourself. Opening or removing covers may  
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.  
company.  
Damage Requiring Service  
Unplug the VCR from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under  
the following conditions:  
When the power cord or plug is damaged.  
If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the VCR.  
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.  
If the VCR was dropped or the cabinet damaged.  
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  
When service or repair to the VCR is completed, ask the service technician to perform  
safety checks to ensure 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.  
6
Pelco Manual C673M (2/01)  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Condensation is likely to occur when:  
The VCR is moved from a cold room to a warm room or from outdoors to indoors.  
A cold room is heated quickly.  
The humidity is very high.  
Avoid using the VCR where cold air (such as from an air conditioner) will blow directly on it.  
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  
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.  
Do Not Place Anything Heavy On The VCR  
Heavy objects placed on the VCR will damage it.  
Ventilation  
Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation and prevent it from overheating. Do  
not block 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.  
Grounding or Polarization  
This VCR has a three-wire grounding-type plug—a plug with a third (grounding) pin. As a  
safety feature, this plug fits only into a grounding-type outlet. If you cannot insert the plug  
into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.  
Lightning/Power Surges  
Unplug the VCR for additional protection during lightning storms or when it is unused for  
long periods. Pelco recommends using conditioned-output uninterruptible power supplies  
(UPS) and/or surge protected outputs to maximize protection of the VCR.  
When Not In Use  
When you finish operating the VCR, always unload the cassette and turn off the power.  
Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this increases the risk of fire and  
electric shock.  
Foreign Objects  
Never push objects of any kind into the VCR through openings. They may touch dangerous  
voltage points or short out parts that could cause a fire or electric shock, or damage the  
mechanism.  
Care of Video Cassette Tape  
Avoid violent vibration and shock.  
Do not place near a strong magnetic field (near a motor, transformer, or magnet).  
Never place or store in direct sunlight.  
Avoid dusty places.  
Place the cassette in the cassette case and store vertically.  
Never store tapes in humid locations.

factory at 1-800-289-9100 or 1-559-292-1981 for a replacement. (International customers  
fax 1-559-348-1120 for authorization and instructions.)  
If an item needs to be returned to the factory for repair, consult the WARRANTY AND  
RETURN section of this manual for instructions.  
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 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  
Table D for actual recording times in different modes.)  
Time-lapse recorders, however, use microprocessor-based techniques to record fewer  
fields per second than a normal VHS machine and extend record 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 12-hour mode, a  
normal time-lapse machine records 10 fields per second, and in 24-hour 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 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 TLR3168) 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.

INSTALLATION  
PRE-INSTALLATION CAUTIONS  
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.  
If you need to record multiple cameras, a multiplexer is required.  
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.  
The TLR3168 Time-Lapse VCR provides multiple alarm recording speeds so it is  
important that alarm triggering of components be operationally compatible. Refer to the  
Introduction to Time-Lapse Recorders section for information on time-lapse recording.  
Complete all system hookups (cameras, multiplexer, etc.) before installing the VCR  
where you cannot access its rear panel.  
Do not connect color and black and white cameras together.  
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 RM2001, which is a rack kit for a  
single VCR.  
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 the Vertical Adjustment section for  
information.)  
A television may be unable to provide a stable picture without vibration or distortion.

Figure 2 shows how to connect the VCR to an MX4000 Series Genex® Multiplexer.  
NOTE: Cameras and  
monitors are connected to  
the multiplexer. Figure 2  
shows the connection be-  
tween the VCR and an  
MX4000 Series Genex Mul-  
tiplexer. Refer to the multi-  
plexer manual for additional  
component connections.  
For Automatic Speed Tracking (“B” lines in Figure 2)  
This lets the VCR control the multiplexer’s recording speed. It is the most efficient  
recording method.  
1. Connect the CLK output to the multiplexer’s head switching (HS) input to  
synchronize camera switching.  
2. Connect the multiplexer’s ground terminal to the VCR’s GND terminal.  
For Alarm Recording (“A” lines in Figure 2)  
This is to start and stop recording when there are alarms.  
1. Connect the multiplexer’s normally open (N.O.) relay terminal to the VCR’s ALM  
IN (alarm input) terminal.  
2. Connect the common (C) terminal to the VCR’s GND terminal.

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 or SVHS.  
We recommend using high grade (HG) tape. (Standard grade tape can be used, but is not  
recommended.) Use high grade VHS tape for super resolution recording. We also  
recommend using T-120 or T-160 tape; nothing longer.  
LOADING  
1. Prepare to insert the cassette into the cassette slot by holding it 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 cassette in  
until the VCR pulls it in. The cassette status indicator on the fluorescent display lights  
when the cassette is inserted.  
The VCR’s protection circuit will eject improperly loaded cassettes. If the VCR ejects  
the cassette 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. Wait a few  
seconds and try again.  
Also, you cannot load cassette while all the VCR’s buttons are locked and the lock all  
indicator (LOCK A) is lit.  
3. The VCR turns on automatically. If the erasure prevention tab on the cassette has  
been removed, the VCR automatically plays back the tape.

Even in standby mode the VCR will eject a video cassette. When you press EJECT,  
the VCR automatically turns on, ejects the tape, and turns off.  
You cannot eject a tape while recording without first pressing the STOP button, or  
while all the VCR’s buttons are locked.  
2. Remove the cassette.  
PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL ERASURE  
Video cassettes come with an erasure prevention tab. Removing it stops the tape’s  
contents from being erased or recorded over. The VCR automatically ejects a cassette if  
you try to record over it with the erasure prevention tab removed.  
DAMAGED CASSETTE TAPE  
We recommend taking any torn or broken cassette tape requiring repair only to profession-  
als who specialize in such procedures. The adhesives on many common types of tape  
could damage the heads on the VCR.

SYNCHRONOUS RECORDING  
Several camera images can be mixed together through a camera switcher and then  
recorded separately onto several VCRs. To do so, assign a camera to each VCR. The VCR  
records only the camera assigned to it. This allows recording without gaps.  
If you have three VCRs, the video signal from three cameras can be recorded separately  
by connecting the switcher as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 22.  
The recording mode must be set to L18H, L24H, L30H, or L40H. Table A shows the suitable  
numbers of VCRs and cameras.

the ALM IN terminal, alarm recording begins and the menu being programmed  
disappears from the screen.

recorded on the tape. (For example, if the VCR recorded from 8:15 to 17:30 on the tape,  
only pictures between 9:00 and 17:30 can be found.)  
The time and date search may not function correctly if you used a tape with poor recording  
quality or with alarm recordings in several recording modes. Also, it will not function with a  
tape recorded with other VCRs or with a tape recorded without setting the date and time.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES  
COUNTER  
TAPE COUNTER  
A five-digit counter indicates the relative position on the recorded portion of the tape.  
COUNTER RESET  
Press the COUNTER RESET button to reset the counter to 00000.  
COUNTER MEMORY  
The counter display is stored in memory when the power is turned off, so the same  
numbers are displayed when power is restored. (Refer to the Counter Memory Stop section  
for information and procedures for rewinding to 00000.)  
MEMORY BACKUP IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE  
The VCR includes a built-in memory backup so the settings for time and date, timer  
program, alarm list, power loss list, number of tape uses, elapsed VCR time, counter  
display, and recording and playback mode will remain in memory if there is a power failure  
or the power cord is unplugged for a long period (more than one month). The settings  
remain in memory for up to 31 days provided the VCR has been connected to AC power for  
at least 40 hours per week. Connection charges the battery backup.  
NOTE: The backup is for  
memory only—the VCR will  
not continue recording dur-  
ing a power outage unless  
connected to a UPS.  
However, if the power cord is unplugged for a long period (more than one month), the time  
may be wrong. If so, set the clock again.  
When ALARM REC DURATION in the Recording Set Up menu is set to MAN1 or MAN2  
and the power fails during recording, the VCR may not return to the alarm recording mode  
when power is restored.  
RESET BUTTON  
If the VCR is not working correctly or is showing an unusual indication on the fluorescent  
display, you can press the RESET button on the rear panel with a pointed object. This sets  
the following default values and turns the VCR off:  
Date and time  
Alarm list  
Power loss list  
Counter display  
Recording mode  
Playback mode  
To restart the VCR, press the POWER button. Set the day and time.  
EXTERNAL TIME CLOCK ADJUSTMENT  
You can set the VCR’s clock to the nearest hour by connecting with an external clock.  
When two or more VCRs are connected together, the clock can be set to the first VCR’s  
clock. Make the following settings to all VCRs you want set to the clock. Refer to the  
Connecting for External Time Clock Adjustment section for connection instructions.  
1. Press the MENU button. The Main menu appears.  
2. Set ALARM REC DURATION on the Recording Set Up menu to other than MAN1.  
3. Set MODE OUT on the Rear Terminal menu to CLOCK ADJ.  
4. Press the MENU button. The day and time display appears.  
HOW EXTERNAL TIME ADJUSTMENT WORKS  
When the RST IN terminal is grounded at the rear panel, the clock is set to the nearest  
hour automatically. For example:  
When the display shows 11:29:59, the clock is adjusted to 11:00:00.  
When the display shows 11:30:00, the clock is adjusted to 12:00:00.  
When more than two VCRs are connected and the first VCR’s clock is adjusted to the  
nearest hour, the additional VCRs will also be set to the nearest hour.

TESTING  
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 and date display  
under normal and alarm conditions.  
REGULAR SYSTEM TESTING  
Every day check that the system is operating. Is the recording indicator lit? Does the  
counter display indicate movement? Does the monitor show proper camera sequenc-  
ing and time and 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 C 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
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 fluorescent display and/or the monitor. Table J shows  
the type of malfunction corresponding to the warning display and the action to take.

cassette. Wait  
more than 5  
seconds. Repeat  
4 or 5 times. Try  
recording again.  
If “CLog” remains,  
consult your  
dealer.  
When the tape ends:  
When the tape reaches its end during recording, “End” appears on the fluorescent  
display and “TAPE END” appears on the monitor. They will not appear if TAPE END in  
the First Time Set Up menu is set to REPEAT, ALARM•PROT (when no alarm  
recording is made), or REWIND.  
Lack of video signal:  
“NO SIGNAL” appears on the monitor and “noSIg” flashes on the fluorescent display  
when the VCR cannot get any video signal during recording. Check that the cable  
from the camera is not broken and the camera has power.  
Clogged head:  
When CLOG DETECT in the Recording Set Up menu is set to ON, the VCR automati-  
cally removes particles that have accumulated on the heads during recording at 120H-  
224H or 0H modes (except for 128H mode). If they cannot be removed entirely, “CLog”  
flashes on the fluorescent display. If this happens, follow the remedy in Table J.
