EXPCMR-ALG-OZ-IC-1080P-1224 Camera
This unit must be installed by a licensed electrician in
accordance to NFPA 70 / NEC Code Book Article 500.
Mounting
The mounting bracket allows 90° vertical adjustment and 360° of swivel for
precision aiming. Mount the unit to a flat surface using the predrilled 3/8”
mounting holes. Position the camera loosely until connected to a monitor.
Once connected, view the monitor and adjust the position accordingly
before securing in place.
20’12/4 SOOW cord with EXP plug comes preinstalled from factory to
one of the 3/4" NPT hubs available on the unit.
Wiring Instructions
The EXPCMR-ALG-OZ-IC-1080P-1224 can utilize the included BNC to
copper wire pair convertors. This connects directly from the explosion
proof receptacle to the DVR. When utilizing these convertors be sure
you are using a dedicated pair of wires that do not go through transfer or
are wired into line voltage of any kind.
Connect appropriate wires from the explosion proof receptacle to the plus
and negative receptacles of the BNC adapter.This adaptor will hook into
the DVR. Make sure to use the same colors for positive and negative on
both ends. If you don’t receive a camera signal once power is supplied,
reverse polarity on the BNC adapter.
RECEPTACLE OPERATION
Connection between receptacle and plug is accomplished after plug fully
inserts into receptacle and rotated clockwise.
1. Lift receptacle door and locate polarization on mating plug pin and
receptacle face. Insert plug straight all the way into receptacle
until it cannot go further.
2. Rotate plug clockwise limit (37º), this closes internal contacts and
completes circuit. This also mechanically locks plug into
receptacle so it cannot be pulled out.
3. To remove plug, push plug inward and turn to counterclockwise,
pull plug straight out.
