Important Safeguards
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.

Installation Best Practices
Selecting a Location and Other Installation Requirements
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.
ATCF460 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.
Ventilated Location
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.
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.
Mount to Secure Surfaces Only
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 CF card 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.
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.

ATCF460 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 CF card.
1. 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.).
2. Drill a hole slightly to the left of the mounting location of the
ATCF460. 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 ATCF460. 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.
