OBJECTS/LIQUID ENTRY: DO NOT push objects or allow liquids through openings in this device. This
could result in shock, fire or serious damage to the unit or yourself.
SERVICING: DO NOT attempt to service this unit yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: Contact AngelTrax at 1.800.673.1788 when replacement parts are required.
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” (PCS5200) connected directly to the mobile surveillance system. The PCS5200 will ensure that
voltage is constant to the mobile surveillance system, thus proper operation and performance of the system can be realized.

Section 2: MiniMicro Plus DVR Quick Setup Guide
Use the following section for quick reference to important features and settings on your MiniMicro Plus DVR.
Parts and Functions
Please refer to the following sections for information on the
MiniMicro Plus MDVR parts and functions:
Page 2 - Parts List (General)
Page 3 - Parts List (Accessory Box)
Page 6 - MiniMicro Plus Parts and Functions Diagram
Hardware Installation
Plan the location for each piece of your mobile video surveillance
system. It is important to mount the DVR 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 DVR,
where all connections are made. You will always need access to
the front of the DVR to pull the hard drive.
Please refer to the Installation Best Practices Section, page
7, for further information.
Ports and Connections
Please refer to Section 4: MiniMicro Plus Connections, Ports
and Controls, page 12, for further information.
Menu and Setup
The MiniMicro Plus MDVRs are equipped with a user menu
section designed for customization of your system. However, there
are a few features that must be set, including: Date and Time,
Vehicle I.D., Vehicle I.D. Number and Formatting the Hard Drive.
To begin setup of your MiniMicro Plus, follow the quick guide
instructions referenced below:
Power up the MiniMicro Plus by turning on your vehicle’s ignition.
Remove the plastic insert in the battery compartment of the
supplied MiniMicro Plus DVR remote.

Installation Best Practices
MiniMicro Plus 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 Section, page 7, for further information.
Selecting a Location and Other Installation Requirements
Ventilated Location
Mounting 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.
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.
Dry Location
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.
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.
Mount to Secure Surfaces Only
Do not mount the DVR to a plastic panel or other surface that is
subject to constant vibration.
CAUTION - DVR INSTALLATION:
•
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.
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 drive and USB port. Allow
sufficient clearance behind the DVR for camera cables, mounting
cables, Ethernet cables and power cables.

MiniMicro Plus 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 bulkhead is the recommended location to mount the
DVR. The cables should be run to the bulkhead from their
source (i.e. power, signals, cameras, GPS antenna, etc.).
Drill a hole slightly to the left of the mounting location of the
MiniMicro Plus. The hole should be a diameter larger than
the end of your largest cable (approximately 1.5 inches - see
Figure 1). We recommend placing a rubber grommet 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 MiniMicro Plus. Pull the cables
through the hole drilled in step two (see Figure 2).
4.
Using the screws provided, attach the DVR to the bulkhead
(see Figure 3).
5.
Connect the power cable to the power source, then connect
the power cable and ignition to the MDVR (see Figure 4).
Power-up the MDVR by turning on the vehicle’s ignition.

2.
Determine the proper location before drilling the mounting
hole. The vehicle’s control panel should be easily accessible
to the driver.
Drill a 1.125” hole in the desired location (see Figure 1).
Ensure the area behind the hole is clear of obstructions
before drilling.
3.
Feed the connector and cable through the mounting hole
and attach the panic button (see Figure 2).

Section 7: Recommended Preventative Maintenance
Performing the following preventative maintenance tasks on a regular schedule will help to keep your AngelTrax mobile DVR in the best
condition and functioning correctly.
Maintenance
What to Do
Make sure the ‘panic’

LED system check lights (amber, green and red) that allow the driver to confirm the DVR system
is functioning properly.
Flashing amber light: The DVR is recording
Solid green light: GPS signal indicator
Solid red light: The DVR is powered up
Synchronizing the
MDVR clock
AngelTrax recommends synchronizing the MDVR clock every six months to ensure accurate
video recording of the time and date. See the Date/Time Setup Section, page 20, for more
information on setting the time and date.
