Read, follow, and retain for future reference all of the following safety instructions. Follow all
warnings before operating the unit.
1. Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
2. Do not install unit near any heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves, or other
equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
3. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.
4. Take precautions to protect the unit from power and lightning surges.
5. Adjust only those controls specified in the operating instructions.
6. Operate the unit only from the type of power source indicated on the label.
7. Unless qualified, do not attempt to service a damaged unit yourself. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
8. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions in accordance with applicable
local codes.
9. Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Power disconnect - Units have power supplied whenever the power cord is inserted into the
power source. The power cord is the main power disconnect for all units.
All-pole power switch - Incorporate an all-pole power switch, with a contact separation of at
least 3 mm, into the electrical installation of the building. If it is needed to open the housing,
use this all-pole switch as the main disconnect device for switching off the voltage to the unit.
Coax grounding:
– Ground the cable system if connecting an outside cable system to the unit.
– Connect outdoor equipment to the unit's inputs only after this unit has had its grounding
plug connected to a grounded outlet or its ground terminal is properly connected to a
ground source.
– Disconnect the unit's input connectors from outdoor equipment before disconnecting the
grounding plug or grounding terminal.
– Follow proper safety precautions such as grounding for any outdoor device connected to
this unit.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information regarding
proper grounding of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of the coax to a discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Camera operation
!
Warning!
Hazardous voltage
Use caution when working inside the housing. Hazardous voltage is present in the housing
when connected to the AC supply. Do not touch the power terminals when the unit is
powered.
Verify operation of the camera and lens before final assembly. Adjust the camera orientation,
focal length (if applicable) and focus as necessary (refer to the camera installation manual).
Closing the housing
!
Caution!
Always securely tighten all fittings to ensure a liquid-tight seal. Failure to do so could allow
water to enter the housing and damage the units. If a sealant is used, ensure that it is a
neutral cure type. Sealants that release acetic acid may harm electronics. Use drip loops on
the wiring outside the housing.
– Pull any excess wire out of the housing and tighten the cable glands. The tightening force
required is approximately 1 to 1.5 turns past the point where the gland starts to grip the
wire. Failure to correctly tighten the glands could result in water ingress.
– Ensure that all holes are covered with the rubber plugs provided.
– Close the cover and secure the latches. Optional tamper-resistant screws are provided
with the housing. If desired, secure the latch using these three screws and the provided
tamper-resistant wrench.
