SAFEGUARDS, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND CARE

Observe the following WARNINGS before installing and using this product. Follow all

warnings and instructions marked on the VCR.

Instructions

Read all the safety and operating instructions before operating the VCR. Keep the

instructions for future reference. Follow all operating and use instructions. Heed all

warnings on the equipment and in the operating instructions.

Tapes

Only video cassette tapes with the VHS mark may be used with this model.

Power Source and Power Cord

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.

WARNING: The

included power

cord is used for

120 VAC, 60 Hz. Never con-

nect 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 company.

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.

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.

Condensation is likely to occur:

•

When the VCR is moved from a cold room to a warm room or from outdoors to indoors

When a cold room is heated quickly

When the humidity is very high

Avoid using the VCR where cold air (such as from an air conditioner) will blow directly on it.

Pelco Manual C671M (1/01)

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.

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 C 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 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 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 TLR3040) 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 TLR3040 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 in

a location where you cannot access its rear panel.

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.

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.

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 .

We recommend using high grade (HG) tape. (Standard grade tape can be used, but is not

recommended.) Use only T-120 or T-160 tapes, nothing longer.

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 a cassette while all the VCR’s buttons are locked and the lock

all indicator (LOCK A) is illuminated.

3. The VCR turns on automatically. If the erase prevention tab on the cassette has been

removed, the VCR automatically plays back the tape.

UNLOADING

1. Press the EJECT button on the front of the VCR.

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.

4. Set the 10-minute and 1-minute digits in the same way.

5. Set the date using the JOG dial and SHUTTLE ring in the same manner.

6. Set the direction (forward or reverse) in which to search the tape using the JOG dial

and SHUTTLE ring.

(When the desired part of the tape is not found in the selected direction, the VCR

automatically searches in the opposite direction.)

7. Turn the SHUTTLE ring right to begin searching. When the recorded picture is found,

it is shown in still mode.

8. To quit while searching, press STOP.

The VCR writes an index mark on the tape at each hour (1:00, 2:00, etc.) during recording.

The time and date search cannot be resumed if the hour’s index mark (set in step 3) is not

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, alarm list,

power loss list, number of tape uses, counter display, and recording/playback mode will

remain in memory if there is a power failure or the power cord is unplugged for a long

period (two-three months). 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 (two-three months), 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.

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 sequencing

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 B 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.

“NO SIGNAL” appears on the monitor and “NoSIg” flashes on the fluorescent display

when the VCR cannot get any video input signal during recording. Check that the

cable from the camera is not broken and the camera has power.

Fouling (clogged) head:

When CLOG DETECT in the Recording Set Up menu is set ON, the VCR automati-

cally removes particles that have accumulated on the heads during time-lapse

cent display. If this happens, follow the remedy in Table H.
