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.

Servicing Your MiniMicro Plus Please refer to Section 8: Servicing Your MiniMicro Plus DVR, page 47, for preventative maintenance tips. Section 3: DVR Installation This section details the installation of the MiniMicro Plus mobile DVR, including the DVR’s parts and functions, installation best practices, mounting the DVR and connecting the signal, camera and power cables.

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. AngelTrax | 7 Post-Installation Checklist Please use the following checklist to ensure that your mobile DVR has been installed properly and that all functionality is working correctly. Start vehicle Plug in video/audio monitor Make sure all lights on panic event button are working Program time, date and vehicle number (Unit with GPS: select time, time zone & turn on) Make sure GPS is displaying coordinates on screen (if applicable) Push panic event button Make sure DVR is secure and neatly installed Make sure all cameras are aimed properly for desired capture Test audio Push brake to make sure lights work outside, on monitor and driver’s monitor Turn on amber lights. Check outside and on monitor. Open door and make sure red lights on stop arm and stop sign are working outside and that stop arm shows up on monitor and driver’s monitor (if applicable) Disconnect monitor Lock DVR Check radio and PA system Check 2-way radio Check all switches on vehicle control panel (fans, lights, etc) Make sure dip (delay time) switches are in the correct position Check for missing screws. Make sure panels are installed properly with no cracks in plastic Make sure camera grommets/wire loom are in place AngelTrax | 8 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. greater than 1.5 in 1 1.5 in BULKHEAD { mounting surface } 2 3 MINIMICRO PLUS ANGELTRAX MINIMICRO PLUS DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER 4 AngelTrax | 9 6. Ensure the MiniMicro Plus 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 5). If the unit fails to go into REC mode, make sure the hard drive is in the ‘lock’ position. 5 Power A/V Output Record Data Download Record indicator light flickers in REC mode Remote Access ANGELTRAX MINIMICRO MOBILE DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER CAUTION - POWER CONNECTION: { Panic Button } Ensure the connection to the power source is secure, and then connect the cables to the rear of the DVR. 6 7. Power-down the unit by turning off the ignition and disconnect the power cables. 8. Connect all signal and camera cables to the back of the unit and reconnect the power cables to the unit. 9. When everything is working properly, attach the back cover around the cables and onto the back of the unit (see Figure 6).

Turn the vehicle ignition off and confirm the shut down delay is working properly. AngelTrax | 10 PLAY AUDIO COPY PAUSE STOP POP QUAD 8 Panic Button Connection The external signal button (or panic button), can be connected to show DVR status without using a video monitor. This button has the following functions when installed: Power indicator LED (red), Record indicator LED (amber), GPS signal indicator LED (green) and event marker (panic button), to cause an alarm event to be recorded by the DVR. 1. 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). 4.
