Installation and Configuration Guide
Installation Best Practices
The DX12 DVR is secured with a security front cover and a cable cover. Two cable grommets (and two
knockouts) on the cable cover allow for wiring to enter from the left side, right side, or back of the unit.
The DVR can be installed horizontally or vertically.
Before installing the DX12 DVR, keep in mind that a well-ventilated location and sufficient clearance
around the unit are key factors in performance and maintenance. See Table 1 for information on
installation requirements.
CAUTION
• 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.
• Route the wiring and cables away from sharp edges that might damage the insulation. Avoid
sharp bends in the cable.
• Contact Seon before attaching the DVR to other equipment in the vehicle.
CAUTION
In order for the accelerometer calibration to work correctly, the DVR axis must be parallel to the
vehicle axis. For example, mount the DVR horizontally with the front face of the DVR parallel to
the front/back or left/right sides of the vehicle. When mounting the DVR vertically, the mounting
plate should be vertical and the top of the DVR should be aligned with either the front/back of the
vehicle or the right/left sides of the vehicle. Failure to install either vertically or horizontally will
render the G-Sensor data unusable.
Table 1 Choosing a Location and Other Installation Requirements
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.
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 hard drives and USB ports.
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 3 inches from the back of the DVR to allow camera cables to bend over each
other.
Ethernet cables Avoid right angle bends in the Ethernet cables.
Power cables Provide enough slack on the power cable to prevent any force from being exerted on the connectors. A
single 4-inch diameter loop is sufficient.

Installation
DVR Installation
The DVR typically ships with the security front cover on and the mounting plate and cable cover off.
To install the DX12 DVR:
1Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation, horizontal or vertical. For the dimensions and
location of the mounting holes, see Figure 15, “DX12 Dimensions with Security Front Cover, Cable
Cover, and Mounting Plate” on page 18.
2Unlock the door lock and remove the security front cover from the unit to access the front panel. Verify
there is a drive inside the DVR. See Figure 2.
3Determine where the wiring and camera cables will enter the unit: on the left side, right side, or back.
4Remove the necessary knockout (s), insert plugs, and cable grommets. See Figure 3.
5Use the mounting plate to mark the desired position of the DVR, and drill the four mounting holes. The
flange secures to the front of the DVR; the tray spring tab attaches to rear. See Figure 4.
6Fasten the mounting plate to the mounting surface with the four #10 × ¾ sheet metal screws or #10 × 1"
self-drilling screws.

Feed the cable through the large cable grommets one at a time, or cut a space from the edge of the cable
cover to the grommet and slide the cables into the grommet.
Smart-Link Installation
To mount the Smart-Link:
1Mount the Smart-Link using the four #10 × ¾" sheet metal screws or the four #10 × ¾" self-drilling
screws. For the Smart-Link’s dimensions, see Figure 14, “Smart-Link” on page 17.
2
Connect the constant (red), switched (yellow) 12VDC lines, fuses, and ground wires as shown in Figure 1.
3Connect all other optional items such as GPS, alarms, signals, or speed to the Smart-Link.
Figure 4 DX12 Attaching to Mounting Plate
CAUTION
Route the wiring and cables away from sharp edges that might damage the insulation. Avoid sharp bends in the cable.
Important:
• Choose a dry location with easy access to the electrical panel and cable connections to mount the Smart-Link.
• Always use the supplied fuses to provide over-current protection on the system wiring. The harness kit includes
two fuses for the two 12VDC lines required to complete this installation.
CAUTION
Connect the constant power and ground wires as close to the battery as possible. Ensure the connections are safe and
secure to reduce potential corrosion or premature wear-out that may compromise performance.

Wake on Alarm Feature Wiring
When the Wake on Alarm function is enabled, if alarm 0 is triggered, the system powers up and starts
recording.
To wire the Wake on Alarm feature:
1Connect the DVR’s back panel alarm input harness connection (2 pin) so that pin 1 (red wire) is toggled
to a 12VDC to 24VDC source to trigger power. The black wire of the alarm input harness can be
connected to ground, or removed.
2On the Diagnostic Button cable, cut the green wire just before it enters the socket. See Figure 5.
3Extend and connect the green wire to an input wire on the Signals harness.
Important: If you are using the Diagnostic Button and cable, and require the Wake on Alarm feature, the
Diagnostic Button cable must be rewired as follows:

CAUTION: Adverse operation of the DVR
Seon does not recommend extending the power cable. Power drops created by additional wiring can cause adverse
operation of the DVR. However, if a power cable extension is required, ensure that the voltage drop does not exceed 1.0
volt by using the correct cable size. See Table 3.
Connections for power cables should be soldered and sealed to prevent corrosion and voltage drop across connections.
Once complete, ensure the DVR’s voltage display is above 11VDC with the vehicle off and the DVR recording.
Important: Both the power and ground wires must be of increased gauge.

G Sensor Settings
Each bus yard or transportation facility has different requirements for G Sensor sensitivity settings. Seon
has found the following settings work in most cases:
• X – Forward/Back axis, set to +2/-2 and associate with an alarm.
• Y – Left/Right axis, set to +2/-2 and associate with an alarm.
• Z – Vertical axis, set to 0/0 and do not associate with an alarm.
These settings can be adjusted to fit specific requirements. The lower the settings, the higher the chances
are of generating false alarms.
