Safety information
1. Power supply
100 - 240 V AC voltage, 50 - 60 Hz (using a power supply unit for 5 V DC)
Only operate this device using a power source which supplies the grid voltage specified on the type
plate. If you are unsure which voltage is supplied at the installation location, contact your power supply
company. Disconnect the device from the power supply before carrying out maintenance or installation
work.
2. Overloading
Avoid overloading electrical sockets, extension cables and adapters, as this can result in fires or electric
shocks.
3. Liquids
Make sure that no liquids of any type are able to enter the device.
4. Cleaning
Only use a damp cloth to clean the device. Do not use corrosive cleaning materials.
Disconnect the device from the power supply while doing so.
5. Accessories
Only connect devices that are suitable for the intended purpose. Otherwise, hazardous situations or
damage to the device can occur.
6. Installation position
This device is suitable both for operation in protected outdoor areas as well as indoors. The product may
be damaged if it is dropped, even from a low height.
Install the device so that no direct sunlight can shine on the image sensor. Pay attention to the
installation instructions in the corresponding section of this user guide.
Never place the device close to heaters, stoves, other sources of heat, or in direct sunlight.
Only operate the device at locations where temperatures within the permitted ambient temperature range
of -10 °C to 50 °C prevail.

7. Wireless transmission
The wireless range depends on a variety of environmental factors. The local conditions at the installation
site may have a negative impact on the range. When there are no obstructions between the receiver and
transmitter, a range of up to 150m is possible, but this range will be considerably less within buildings.
The following environmental conditions compromise both the range as well as the frame rate:
Mobile communication masts, high-tension pylons, electrical wires, ceilings and walls, devices with the
same or an adjacent wireless frequency.
Warnings
Observe all safety and operating instructions before putting the device into operation for the first time.
1. Observe the following information to avoid damage to the mains cable and plug:
xDo not modify or manipulate the power cable or plug.
xDo not pull the cable when disconnecting the device from the mains power –always hold of the plug.
xEnsure that the mains cable is positioned as far away as possible from any heating equipment, as this
could otherwise melt the plastic coating.
xThe power supply unit for the door station must be protected from damp and moisture.
2. Follow these instructions. Non-compliance with these instructions could lead to an electric shock.
1. Never open the housing or power supply unit.
2. Do not insert any metallic or flammable objects into the device.
3. Use overvoltage protection to prevent damage caused by overvoltage (e.g. electrical storms).
3. Disconnect defective devices from the power immediately and contact your specialist dealer.
When installing the device in an existing video surveillance system, ensure that all devices have
been disconnected from the power supply and low-voltage circuit.
If in doubt, have a specialist technician carry out assembly, installation, and connection of the
device. Improper or unprofessional work on the power supply or domestic installation puts both
you and other persons at risk.
Connect the installations so that t
he power supply circuit and low-voltage circuit always run
separately from each other. They should not be connected at any point or be able to become
connected as a result of a malfunction.
Avoid the following adverse conditions during operation:
xMoisture or excess humidity
xExtreme heat or cold
xDirect sunlight
xDust or flammable gases, vapors, or solvents
xStrong vibrations
xStrong magnetic fields (e.g. next to machines or loudspeakers)
xThe camera for the door station must not be directed toward the sun, as otherwise the sensor may be
destroyed.
xThe camera must not be installed on unstable surfaces
Unpacking the device
Handle the device with extreme care when unpacking it.
If the original packaging has been damaged, inspect the device. If the device shows signs of
damage, return it in the original packaging and inform the delivery service.

1. Intended use
This 7" touchscreen wireless monitor and the IR wireless outdoor camera enable you to easily transmit and
display video signals wirelessly across moderate and large distances.
Wireless signal transmission is an advantage everywhere cables are not able to be laid: the camera transmits
the video signal wirelessly to the wireless monitor. The conversion to digital signals means that malfunctions
and interference can be reduced.
As soon as the camera's sensor detects motion, the recording starts on the SD card.
You have the option of connecting up to four cameras (TVAC16010) to the monitor and
displaying them in the 4x camera view.
You can also view the live images of the camera using the ABUS “TVAC16000” app provided the monitor is in
the docking station and connected to the internet.
For a detailed description of functions, refer to Section 3, “Features and functions”.
