2.3 BeforeMounting,ApplySiliconetotheBackofthe
Mounting Plate
• If you are mounting the TX3 Nano outside, apply outdoor-rated
weatherproof silicone to the groove in the back of the mounting plate to
prevent water from flowing around the mounting plate and into the TX3
Nano. In Figure 3, the groove is shown in solid black.
Figure 3. Mounting plate (back view): apply silicone to the groove
Warning: Do not apply silicone to any other part of the TX3 Nano. Apply
weatherproof silicone to the groove in the mounting plate only.

3.1.1 Wiring Tips
• Perform visual inspection of the parts for obvious issues.
• Group the incoming wires through the hole in the mounting plate. Use a
wire tie to group wires for easy identification and neatness.
• PoE maximum length: 100 m (328 ft)
• The terminal block is designed to fit one way only. Insert it with the screws
facing left as shown in Figure 14.
3.1.2 Maximum Wiring Lengths

3.2 RJ45 Connector
Connect the RJ45 connector to a PoE (Power over Ethernet)-powered router or
switch. The RJ45 connector provides power through PoE, and also provides a
connection to the LAN for configuration.
3.3 USB Port and Switch
The USB port and switch are for debugging. Leave the switch at its factory
position (on the right).
3.4 Slot for mini-SIM Card
On TX3 Nano models with -C (for example, TX3-NANO-S4-CX), insert a mini-
SIM (2FF) card into this slot to allow the TX3 Nano to make cellular calls.
Insert the terminal

Insert a SIM Card
1. Slide the metal holder down and pull out.
2. Carefully insert the SIM card in the slot with the label facing out and the
notch on the upper left.
Warning: Make sure that the SIM card does not fall into the TX3 Nano.
3. Close the metal holder and slide it up.
3.5 Screw for Adjusting Camera Tilt
Tighten this screw to tilt the camera down, and loosen the screw to tilt the camera
up.
The camera tilt can be adjusted up to 10° vertically.
3.6 Inputs
For details on programming the inputs, see LT-1194 “TX3 Nano Configuration
Manual”.
Figure 15. Input terminal sample connections
3.6.1 Input 1: Door contact
By default, Input 1 is configured as a door contact. Connect Input 1 to the door
sense switch. When the door is open the input is active and when the door is
closed the input is inactive.

3.6.2 Input 2: General purpose
By default, Input 2 is configured as a general purpose input.
3.7 Input Supervision
The input’s active state can be configured as either Open or Close. The default
is Close.
There are some restrictions in configuring the active state depending on what
kind of supervision is required.
Each input can be configured for a specific type of supervision as follows:
• No supervision
• Supervise for open
• Supervise for short
• Supervise for open and short
3.7.1 No supervision
When the input is configured for no supervision, the active state is either Open or
Close. No end of line resistor is required in this case.
3.7.2 Supervised for open
When the input is supervised for open, the active state in the Configurator is
Close. This scheme requires a single 47 kΩend of line resistor.

Note: The switch’s active state cannot be an open state.
