Installation precautions
In addition to heeding the points presented in the “Safety precautions”, observe the following precautions
as well.
Ensure that the installation work complies with the
technical standards governing electrical equipment.
This unit is for indoor use only.
It cannot be used outdoors.
Avoid installation in a location where the unit will be exposed
to direct sunlight for extended periods or near a cooling or
heating appliance.
Otherwise, deformation, discoloration, malfunctioning and/or
problems in operation may result. Operate the unit where it
will not be splashed or sprayed by water.
Use the unit with an installation where the unit is
suspended from an overhead surface or with a
stand-alone installation.
Do not use the unit on its side or tilted at an angle.
For ceiling mount, be sure to use the specified bracket
and follow the operating instructions provided with the
bracket to perform the work.
When using a mounting bracket which is sold
separately, refer to the operating instructions provided
with it.
Do not hold the camera head while undertaking the
installation work. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

Notes
Concerning the installation location
Install the unit in a stable location which will not be
susceptible to shaking. If the unit is installed in a location
which is susceptible to shaking, this will cause the unit’s
images to shake in turn.
Install the unit after conferring in detail with your dealer.
Install the unit on a ceiling that is strong enough (such as a
concrete ceiling).
If the unit is to be installed on a ceiling which is not strong
enough, reinforce the ceiling sufficiently first.
Do not install or use the unit in the following kinds of
locations.
On the surface of a wall (where the unit will be installed
sideways and/or where the unit will be secured to the wall
using a mounting bracket)
In locations (including places such as under the eaves of
a building) where the unit would be directly exposed to
rain or water
In locations such as kitchens where there are high
concentrations of steam and grease
In outdoor locations or hot places where the temperature
will exceed 40 °C {104 °F}
In cold locations where the temperature will drop below
0 °C {32 °F}
In locations where the humidity will exceed 85 %
In locations where chemicals are used such as near
swimming pools
In locations that have a specific environment that is
subject to an inflammable atmosphere or solvents
At sea, in coastal areas or in locations where corrosive
gas is emitted, such as volcanic regions/hot springs
In locations where radiation, X‑rays, or strong radio
waves or magnetic fields are generated
In locations where the unit would be subject to a great
deal of vibration such as on board a vehicle or ship, or
above a factory production line (This unit is not designed
to be used in vehicles)
In locations where the temperature is subject to sudden
changes such as near the air outlet of an air conditioner
or near a door which allows the outside air to come in
What to avoid to ensure that the unit will perform stably
over a prolonged period
Using the unit for a prolonged period in a location with
high temperature and humidity levels will cause its parts
to deteriorate and shorten its service life.
Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any
air directly toward the installation location.
Be sure to use the specified bracket and screws to
install the unit.
Do not mount the unit by employing any methods other than
those specified.
When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not
leave it lying around, but be absolutely sure to dispose
of it properly.
When installing, transferring or disposing of the unit, be
absolutely sure to hold it by its pedestal area.
Problems may result if the camera head is held or rotated.
Do not attach a filter, hood, extender or other parts to
the unit.
