2Safety and compliance
This chapter presents the C-60 E-MC safety instructions and compliance information.
In This Chapter
Safety .............................................................................. 11
Declaration of Conformity ................................................... 14
2.1 Safety
The safety information contained in this section, and on other pages of this manual, must be
observed whenever this unit is operated, serviced, or repaired. Failure to comply with any
precaution, warning, or instruction noted in the manual is in violation of the standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of the module. Siqura assumes no liability for the customer's
failure to comply with any of these safety requirements.
Trained personnel
Installation, adjustment, maintenance, and repair of this equipment are to be performed by
trained personnel aware of the hazards involved. For correct and safe use of the equipment and
in order to keep the equipment in a safe condition, it is essential that both operating and
servicing personnel follow standard safety procedures in addition to the safety precautions and
warnings specified in this manual, and that this unit be installed in locations accessible to trained
service personnel only.
Safety requirements
The equipment described in this manual has been designed and tested according to the
UL/IEC/EN 60950-1 safety requirements. See the CE Declaration of Conformity for compliance
information.
Warning: If there is any doubt regarding the safety of the equipment, do not put it into
operation.
This might be the case when the equipment shows physical damage or is stressed beyond
tolerable limits (for example, during storage and transportation).
Important: Before opening the equipment, disconnect it from all power sources.
The equipment must be powered by a SELV*power supply. This is equivalent to a Limited Power
source (LPS, see UL/IEC/EN 60950-1 clause 2.5) or a "NEC Class 2" power supply. When this
module is operated in extremely elevated temperature conditions, it is possible for internal and
external metal surfaces to become extremely hot.
*SELV: conforming to IEC 60950-1, <60 Vdc output, output voltage galvanically isolated from mains. All
power supplies or power supply cabinets available from Siqura comply with these SELV requirements.

C-60 E-MC
Page 12
Power source and temperature ratings
Verify that the power source is appropriate before you plug in and operate the unit. Use the unit
under conditions where the temperature remains within the range given in the Technical
Specifications of this product.
Optical safety
The following optical safety information applies to C-60 E-MC models with SFP interface only.
This product complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser
Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007. This optical equipment contains Class 1M lasers or LEDs and
has been designed and tested to meet IEC 60825-1:1993+A1+A2 and IEC 60825-2:2004 safety
class 1M requirements.
Warning: Optical equipment presents potential hazards to testing and servicing personnel, owing
to high levels of optical radiation.
When using magnifying optical instruments, avoid looking directly into the output of an
operating transmitter or into the end of a fiber connected to an operating transmitter, or there
will be a risk of permanent eye damage. Precautions should be taken to prevent exposure to
optical radiation when the unit is removed from its enclosure or when the fiber is disconnected
from the unit. The optical radiation is invisible to the eye.
Use of controls or adjustments or procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
The installer is responsible for ensuring that the label depicted below (background: yellow;
border and text: black) is present in the restricted locations where this equipment is installed.
EMC
This device has been tested and found to meet the CE regulations relating to EMC and complies
with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against interference to radio communications in any installation. The
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy; improper use or special
circumstances may cause interference to other equipment or a performance decrease due to
interference radiated by other equipment. In such cases, the user will have to take appropriate
measures to reduce such interactions between this and other equipment.
Any interruption of the shielding inside or outside the equipment could make the equipment
more prone to fail EMC requirements.
Non-video signal lines must use appropriate shielded Cat 5 cabling (S-FTP), or at least an
equivalent. Ensure that all electrically connected components are carefully earthed and
protected against surges (high voltage transients caused by switching or lightning).
ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. Proper precautions
should be taken against ESD when opening the equipment.

Safety and compliance
Page 13
Care and maintenance
The unit will normally need no maintenance. To keep it operating reliably:
Prevent dust from collecting on the unit.
Do not expose the equipment to moisture.
RoHS statement
Global concerns over the health and environmental risks associated with the use
of certain environmentally-sensitive materials in electronic products have led
the European Union (EU) to enact the Directive on the Restriction of the use of
certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) (2002/95/EC). Siqura offers products
that comply with the EU’s RoHS Directive. The full version of the Siqura RoHS
statement can be viewed at www.siqura.com.
Product disposal
The unit contains valuable materials which qualify for recycling. In the interest
of protecting the natural environment, properly recycling the unit at the end of
its service life is imperative.
When processing the printed circuit board, dismantling the lithium battery calls
for special attention. This kind of battery, a button cell type, contains so little
lithium, that it will never be classified as reactive hazardous waste. It is safe for
normal disposal, as required for batteries by your local authority.

Picture enhancement
Almost every analogue camera offers an interlaced signal (PAL or NTSC). On digital computer
monitors, this causes severe artefacts, such as comb edges on moving objects. To remove these
artefacts the video signal has to be deinterlaced. This can be done in the monitor, but also at the
beginning –at the encoder side. The C-60 E-MC is fitted with a motion adaptive deinterlacer
(M.A.D.). Siqura’s M.A.D removes the interlacing artefacts on the moving objects only to
preserve the vertical resolution of the image. In addition, the deinterlaced image is much easier
to encode, saving bits for streaming and storage.
ONVIF and Open Streaming Architecture (OSA)
The Siqura C-60 E-MC supports both the international ONVIF standard and Siqura OSA for
remote control, configuration, video switching, and streaming. The C-60 E-MC has been
approved for ONVIF Profile S for streaming, PTZ, and I/O. Siqura’s OSA is a comprehensive HTTP
RTSP based API, which gives access (next to ONVIF) to all controls and makes full integration
easy.
Image quality monitor and tampering alarm
When the image from the camera becomes too poor, an image quality alert is raised. The built-in
Image Quality Monitor continuously monitors the camera image on contrast, exposure,
sharpness, and noise. In addition, the built-in Tamper Detector monitors changes in the
camera’s position or field of view. The instant a camera’s position is changed a tamper detect
alert is raised.
Audio, data, and I/O contacts
By combining audio, programmable I/O contacts, and data with streaming video, the C-60 E-MC
provides all the interfaces necessary for any IP CCTV application. On the encoder module, you
will find two bidirectional audio channels (lip-synchronised), two digital inputs and outputs, and
two serial data ports (RS-232 and RS-422/482). The RS-422/485 data port is combined with a
built-in PTZ controller supporting a number of PTZ protocols.
Fiber and EoC options
The C-60 E-MC is available with an optional, pluggable SFP slot. This offers unparalleled
flexibility in connectivity. With fiber SFPs you can connect over multimode or single-mode optical
fiber cable and cover distances from 100 m to 120 km or more. To connect over (existing) coax,
you can use the Siqura® ECO-plug for Ethernet over Coax.

FTP push
Upon an event, the C-60 E-MC can push a JPG image to one or two FTP servers. The event can
be triggered externally by VMD, the Image Monitor, or Tamper Detect. The C-60 E-MC can also
periodically upload images to the remote server(s).
Web interface
Configuration, management, and live viewing are simplified by the access-controlled web
interface. Full in-band control is available through Siqura Device Manager, Siqura’s MX™
Configuration Tool Kit, and the HTTP API. The C-60 E-MC is field-upgradeable.

4.1 Power the unit
To power a rack-mount unit
1. Insert the C-60 E-MC into a Siqura MC 10 or MC 11 power supply cabinet.
2. Plug the cabinet power cord into a grounded mains socket.
To power a stand-alone unit
A stand-alone (/SA) C-60 E-MC requires an external power supply adapter (12 Vdc).
1. Connect the power adapter to the power connector on the metal SA housing.
2. Plug the power adapter into a grounded mains socket.
4.2 Connect cables
Use the appropriate connectors on the C-60 E-MC front panel to connect the network and signal
cables.
To connect the C-60 E-MC to your 100/10Mbit IP/Ethernet network
Plug the network cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet socket on the front panel.
Important: Use appropriate cabling (Cat 5 or Cat 6) for network links.
To connect a video source
Connect the coaxial cable from your video source (a camera, for example) to the video input
BNC connector on the front panel.
To connect audio, data, and/or contact closure sources/destinations
Plug the cables carrying audio, data, and/or contact closure signals into the corresponding
RJ-45 sockets on the C-60 E-MC front panel.
Important: Through-connecting the signal ground lines of RS-data interfaces is mandatory, as is
proper grounding. See also the section on pin assignments later in this chapter.

4.3 Startup
After startup, the DC LED will light and the network indicator lights go through an on/off
sequence.
The power DC LED should always be lit. The link and No Video lights eventually glow upon
establishing of a good network link and the absence of an input video signal, respectively.
The sync LED displays as described in the Front Panel section.
Important: Before you can make any signal connection, you must assign at least a valid IP
address (the unit's identity for the network) and a subnet mask to the unit. The Connect the unit
chapter explains how to do this.
4.4 Connector pin assignments
Modular socket pin assignments
The modular socket pin assignments are such that similar sockets of different modules may be
connected back to back with reversed cable (RS-232 interfaces excepted). See the figure below
for the socket pin numbering convention used. For 2-wire RS-485 links, I/O is through pins 1 and
2 of socket 3.
Pin assignments of the three modular sockets. For 2-wire RS-485 use pins 1 and 2 of socket 3.
Note: Polarity indications for RS-422/485 are based on a convention used by BT, which may
conflict with other implementations. Pelco systems, for example, use an implementation for
which you have to connect Siqura (+) to Pelco (-) and vice versa.
