INSTALLATION: This device requires professional installation by a certified AngelTrax Field Engineer. Do not attempt to install this device without certification or proper training.
Electrical System Disclaimer
The stability of the electrical system in the vehicle is critical to the performance and reliability of certain electronics installed onboard.
These electronics rely on the vehicle’s power in order to be fully operational. AngelTrax components require stable voltage in order to
function properly. When connecting any electronics to the power of a 12-24v vehicle, it is connected with wire, which has resistance.
Anytime you have current flow through a resistive element, there will be a voltage loss. Therefore, a voltage regulator is often required to
help maintain the stability of the voltage due to fluctuating current draw. However, AngelTrax learned that most vehicles equipped with
a standard voltage regulator might not be adequate to maintain the correct voltage to the electronics onboard the vehicle. In this case,
the alternator needs a Compensating Voltage Regulator to vary the current flow, keeping the voltage precisely at the target value. This
will ensure the system receives the correct voltage to perform properly. If the Compensating Voltage Regulator is not available, then we
suggest a “Power Conditioner Stabilizer” (PCS2600) connected directly to the mobile surveillance system. The PCS2600 will ensure that
voltage is constant to the mobile surveillance system, thus proper operation and performance of the system can be realized.

Installation Best Practices
HDX 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, page 7, for further information.
Selecting a Location and Other Installation Requirements
Ventilated Location
Ethernet Cables
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.
Avoid right angle bends in the Ethernet cables.
Dry Location
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.
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.
CAUTION - DVR INSTALLATION:
Mount to Secure Surfaces Only
•
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.
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 hard drives 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.

HDX Hardware Installation
Plan the location for each piece of your mobile video surveillance system. It is important to mount the MDVR in a location providing
easy access to the front and rear of the device. This ensures you will be able to quickly and easily access the rear of the MDVR, where
all connections are made. You will always need access to the front of the MDVR to pull the hard drive.
1.
2.
The bulk head is the recommended location to mount the
DVR. The cables should be run to the bulk head from their
source (i.e. power, signals, cameras, GPS antenna, etc.).
Drill a hole slightly to the left of the mounting location of
the HDX. The hole should be a diameter larger than the end
of your largest cable (approximately 1.5 inches). (See
.) We recommend placing a rubber grommet
Figure
around the edges of this hole to prevent the cable being cut
by sliding across its sharp edges.
3.
Run all cables, including power, signals, cameras, etc. to the
mounting location for the HDX. Pull the cables through the
hole drilled in step two. (See Figure
.)
4.
Using the screws provided, attach the DVR to the bulk head
(See Figure
.)
5.
Connect the power cable to the power source, then connect
the power cable and ignition to the MDVR. (See Figure
.)
Power-up the MDVR by turning on the vehicle’s ignition.

6.
Ensure the HDX powers-up and goes into REC (Record)
mode, indicated by the flickering amber light on the front
of the unit and -- if connected -- on the panic event button.
(See Figure
.) Depending on which medium the DVR is
currently recording to (SD card or HDD 1), the flickering
amber light on the front of the unit will be the Rec. SD or
Rec. 1 light. If the unit fails to go into REC mode, make sure
the hard drive is in the ‘lock’ position.

Check delay time (‘dip’) switches on the back of the MDVR to make sure number 1 is in
the ‘down’ position.
•
Check the connections inside the camera, as well as the connections on the back of
the MDVR.
•
Voltage to the system may be too low. Voltage should be between 9-30 VDC.
