Installation precautions
Use the dedicated AC adapter and power cable provided
with the unit.
Connect the AC adapter and power cable to the power inlet
securely.
The power cable supplied with this unit must always be used
with this unit. The unit cannot be used with a power cable
which is not supplied with the unit. Neither can the power
cable supplied with the unit be used with any other device.
Installing the AC adapter
 Do not place the AC adapter in direct contact with a floor
or any other such surface. An extreme danger is posed
by water pooling on the surface as a result of leaking
rainwater or some other reason.
Anchor the AC adapter securely to a surface on which no
water, dust, etc. will collect.
 Secure the adapter firmly so that there will be no chance
that it will fall off or fall down.
Secure it using a strength which can withstand the mass
of the AC adapter.
Install the accessory AC adapter near the main power
outlet, and position it in such a way that its power plug
can be plugged into and unplugged from the outlet easily.
If the AC adapter is to be connected where dust collects,
remove the dust and dirt from the power plug at regular
intervals as a measure to prevent tracking.
Power switch
This unit does not have a power switch. The power turns
on when its power plug is connected to a power outlet.
When the power is turned on, the pan, tilt, zoom and
focusing operations are performed. Before proceeding with
maintenance, be absolutely sure to disconnect the power
plug from the power outlet.
Connecting the power cable
Be absolutely sure to connect the power cable of the
AC adapter through a circuit breaker using one of the
following methods.
(1) Connect the power cable through a power control unit.
(2) Connect the power cable to a circuit breaker in a
power distribution panel with a contact distance of
3.0 mm or more.
Use a circuit breaker which is capable of shutting
off all the poles of the main power supply with the
exception of the protective ground conductor.
(3) Install the AC adapter near the power outlet, and
connect it through the power plug.
If there is a possibility of noise interference
Either wire the cables so that the power cable (ceiling light
cord) of AC 100 V or more, and the signal cable are placed
at least 1 m {3.3 feet} apart. Alternatively run each cable
through its own metal conduit. (The metal conduits must be
grounded.)
Radio signal interference
If the unit is positioned near a TV or radio transmitting
antenna or a strong electrical field or magnetic field (such as
that generated by a motor, transformer or power lines), its
images may be distorted and/or the images may be affected
by noise.
When connecting the cables, ensure that the connector
areas will not be subject to any load.
Doing so may cause malfunctioning.
Allowing the generated heat to escape
This unit allows the heat generated inside to escape from its
surfaces.
Do not install the unit in a location where it will be
surrounded by walls or other surfaces and where heat will
be trapped. In addition, the heat is dissipated to the bottom
panel which will warm up over time: This is normal and not
indicative of any trouble.
IMPORTANT
 The product name and its electrical ratings are
marked on its bottom panel.

10
Operating precautions
Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.
To produce pictures with eye‑pleasing colors, shoot under
the proper lighting conditions.
The pictures may not appear with their proper colors when
shooting under fluorescent lights.
Select the proper lighting as required.
To ensure a stable performance in the long term
Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the
temperature and humidity levels are high will cause its parts
to deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life.
(Recommended temperature: Max. 35 °C {95 °F})
Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any
air directly toward the installation location.
Image persistence on the MOS sensor color filters
If parts of the MOS sensor are exposed continuously to
spotlights or other bright lights, the color filters inside the
MOS sensor will deteriorate, and the parts concerned may
become discolored.
Do not point the camera at strong
lights.
When parts of the MOS sensor are
exposed to spotlights or other strong
lights, blooming (a phenomenon where
the edges of strong lights become
blurred) may occur.
Bright subject
Blooming
Concerning the color reproduction of MOS sensors
Depending on the color tones of the subjects, the color
reproduction may deteriorate: This is normal and not
indicative of any trouble.
What happens with high-brightness subjects
Flare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed
at the lens. In a case like this, change the angle or take
some other remedial action.
Operating temperature range
Avoid using the unit in cold locations where the temperature
drops below 0 °C {32 °F} or hot locations where the
temperature rises above 40 °C {104 °F} since these
temperatures downgrade the picture quality and adversely
affect the internal parts.
Concerning the HDMI interface standard
This unit has been certified as HDMI‑compatible, but on rare
occasions images may not be displayed depending on the
HDMI device which has been connected to the unit.
Turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting
the cables.
