1. Warnings and operation notes
Thank you for purchasing i3 Ax51B IR Fixed Bullet camera.
Please read this guide carefully before you install the camera. Keep this
guide for future reference.
Ax51B comes with a fixed lens and a built-in heater. 24 high quality IR illuminators
built around the lens facilitate crystal clear pictures with no outside illumination as
far as 25 meters (82 ft). Plus, with IP67-rated all-weather waterproof, aluminum
casing, this camera is ideal for outdoor applications such as convenience stores,
streets and parking lots. PoE, DC12V and AC24V power is supported in the indoor
installations, where the heater is not required. Use DC24V/AC24V power for outdoor
installations only to supply enough power to the built-in heater.
If the system needs to be modified or repaired, contact a certified i3 International
Dealer/Installer. When serviced by an unauthorized technician, the system
warranty will be voided. Should you have any problems or questions regarding our
products, contact your local i3 International Dealer/Installer.
1.1 Precautions
Installation and serving should be performed only by qualified and
experienced technicians to conform to all local codes and to maintain
your warranty.
When installing your Ax51B camera be sure to avoid:
• excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or heating appliances
• contaminants such as dust and smoke
• strong magnetic fields
• sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radios or TV transmitters
• moisture and humidity
• areas with mechanical vibrations
• fluorescent lamps or objects that reflect light
• unstable light sources as this may cause flickering
• temperatures below -40° Celsius or -40° Fahrenheit and above 50° Celsius or
122° Fahrenheit.

1.2 Power Supply
Ensure the supplied voltage meets the power consumption requirements of this
camera before powering the camera on. Incorrect voltage may cause irreparable
damage to the video camera and will effectively void the camera warranty.
PoE, DC12V and AC24V power is supported in the indoor installations, where the
heater is not required. Use DC24V/AC24V power for outdoor installations only to
supply enough power to the built-in heater.
1.3 Cleaning
• For maximum optical clarity, the camera or lens must remain clean. Use a soft,
dry cloth to remove finger prints and dust from the dome cover.
• Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.
• Clean the body with a soft, dry cloth. If it is very dirty, use a cloth dampened
with a small quantity of neutral detergent, then wipe dry.
• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinners, as they may
damage the surface finish.
1.4 Servicing
