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.

6 Pelco Manual C672M (2/01)


Condensation is likely to occur under the following conditions:

•

•

•

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.

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 timelapse 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 TLR3096) 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.


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 a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) system.

TLR3096 FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

T-160 Tapes

The unit can record for 8, 24, 40, 72, 104, or 136 hours.

The TLR3096 features frame-by-frame and field-by-field playback and high-speed search.

Playback also allows still picture viewing.

Audio Recording—The 6H, 8H, L18H, L24H, L30H, and L40H modes allow audio recording.

Resolution and Image Quality—This VCR has a horizontal resolution of more than 240 lines in VHS mode and more than 400 lines in super resolution mode.

Remote Operation by PC via RS-232C—You can use a personal computer that has an

RS-232C serial port to remotely control the VCR.

Automatic Head Cleaning—This 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.

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 an alarm recording’s starting time.

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.

Recording Check—You can confirm correct recording by pressing the PLAY button during recording.

Variety of Search Functions—You can do index and skip searches, or search by time and date.

Special Playback Features—These include still images, speed search, reverse playback, frame-by-frame and field-by-field 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 frameby-frame with the JOG dial.

Recording Options—This system offers the following recording options: daily/weekly/ holiday timer recording, alarm recording, series recording, remote recording, repeat recording, one shot/interval recording, and synchronous recording.

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 Savings Time Setting—A daylight savings time setting is available. You can set the clock forward an hour by programming the menu.

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 TLR3096 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 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.

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 insert a 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.

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 STOP, 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 you take any broken or torn tapes to a professional for repair. The adhesives on many common types of tape could damage your VCR’s heads.

WHEN TO REPLACE A TAPE

We recommend you replace the tape cassette with a new one according to the mode in which it is used. Refer to Table C.

(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

NOTE:

The backup is for memory only—the VCR will not continue recording during a power outage unless connected to a UPS.

The VCR includes a built-in memory backup so the settings for time and date, timer programming, alarm list, power loss list, number of tape uses, elapsed time, 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 (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.

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.

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 on which you want set to the clock. Refer to the

Connecting for External Time Clock Adjustment

section for connection instructions.

1.


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 on the monitor.

HOW EXTERNAL TIME CLOCK 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 to12:00:00.

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.

USING WITH A PC

Refer to the

Connecting the VCR to a PC

and

Connecting to a PC for Remote Control

sections for information about connection, protocol, data communication settings, and cable connections.

ASSIGNING THE RS-232C SETTINGS

1.


2.


3.

Turn the JOG dial to select RS-232C, and then turn the SHUTTLE ring right. The RS-

232C menu appears.

4.

Change the parameter value by turning the JOG dial left or right, and then turning the

SHUTTLE ring right to store the new value.

• Set all parameters for the VCR to the same values as the controlling PC or other equipment.

PARITY BIT cannot be used when DATA BIT LENGTH is set to 8BIT.

•

•

When controlling only one VCR via the PC, set VCR ADDRESS to NONE.

• VCRs can be remotely controlled via a PC when each VCR has a unique VCR

ADDRESS (from VCR01 to VCR255).

5.

Repeat step 4 until all the items are set. The First Time Set Up menu appears after setting VCR ADDRESS.

6.

Press the MENU button. The day and time display appears on screen.

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 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 on the monitor. Table J shows the type of malfunction corresponding to the warning display and the action to take.

NO SIGNAL No video signal input during recording.

Check for loose connections.

CHECK Tape or deck trouble during recording.

Rewind tape or

press EJECT.

Restore video signal or clear recording mode.

Check cassette. If nothing is wrong, try recording again. If “CHECK” still appears, insert a new cassette and retry recording. If “CHECK” stays on, unplug the power cord and contact the 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 input during recording. Check that the cable from the camera is not broken and the camera has power.
