Safety instructions
• Installation must be done by qualied installers, and conform to all local codes.
• It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the mounting methods are safe and adequate for the
location.
• Use only stainless steel (SS) hardware to fasten the mount to an outdoor surface.
• All servicing must be performed by qualied service personnel. Procedures in this manual do not
require entry into the housing of the camera system. The unit contains potential high voltage. It also
contains sensitive devices that can be damaged by static discharge. To reduce the risk of electric
shock and damage to the unit by static discharge do not perform any servicing other than described
in these instructions. If the unit is defective, please contact the Customer Service Department for
technical assistance.
• It is the sole responsibility of the installer to provide proper installation in compliance with all local
codes and regulations.
Grounding
• To provide protection against electrical surges induced by lightning, static charges, or any other
cause, the camera and cabling system must be properly grounded to earth. For installation on a
building, the camera must be bonded (that is, provided with a low impedance connection) to the
building’s structural earth ground system. For installation on a metal pole with a proper ground
system at the base, the camera must be bonded to the pole. For installation on a non-grounded or
insulated support, the camera must be grounded with an adequate ground strap or wire between
the camera and a nearby ground system, or to a ground system installed at the base of the sup-
port. Failure to adequately ground the camera may lead to failure of the camera. This applies to
low voltage (i.e. PoE cameras) as well as to 115 Vac cameras. Failures due to surges are not
covered by the warranty, as they are not due to defects in material or workmanship, and it is
the installer’s responsibility to meet these grounding requirements.
• All system cables must be shielded, and the shield(s) must be bonded to earth ground.
• The grounding stud on the camera’s rear panel (see p6) must be connected to earth ground using
minimum 16 AWG wire and bonded to earth ground as close to the camera as possible.
WARNING:
PoE (Power over Ethernet) injectors used with this camera system may operate from 100-240 Vac.
These voltages are dangerous. Use extreme care working with equipment connected to these voltages.
WARNING:
Do not remove camera from housing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
CAUTION:
In order to avoid deterioration of the color lter of the CCD and potential discoloration of the image
avoid pointing the camera system directly toward the sun or other bright source.
WARNING:
Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet circuits. Use caution to avoid
direct contact with exposed, bare Ethernet circuit conductors or connector contacts.
