PE| YE/GN| 1.5mm2, stranded wire| PE|

Plug assignments (RJ45)
The data transfer of the ExCam IPQ1615 uses a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet connection (100BASE-TX). If the cable termination uses a plug, the latter should be plugged into the RJ45 PoE slot of the network device (PSE). Prior to connecting it to the camera, the net-work device (PSE) can already be supplied with power, hence there is no „power ON“ priority which has to be observed.

• Attention! Use appropriate RJ45 plugs! Check the cable shielding, cross-section and the outside diameter!
• Attention! It is imperative to ensure a correct routing of the individual wires ac-cording to the EIA/TIA-568B”
• Attention! Finally, check your network installation with a Class-D Link Test.

Detailed instructions on how to connect a RJ45 plug are available in our video tutorial: “SAMCON 03 Mounting and installing the RJ45 jack to SAMCON cables” https://go.samcon.eu/v03

Tests prior to switching on voltage

• Attention! Prior to starting the device, perform all tests as indicated by the national regulations. Furthermore, check the correct function and installation of the device in accordance with this User Manual and other applicable regulations.
• Attention! Incorrect installation or operation of the camera may lead to a loss of warranty!
• Attention! Do not switch on the camera at temperatures below 0°C!

Working inside the camera housing (Ex-d)
The customer may open the housing only if it is absolutely necessary. Only exchanging the SD memory card or a hardware reset are reasons for this.

Preparation for work:

• Attention! Prepare your work carefully and in accordance with the relevant regulations.
• Attention! Depending on classification of hazard areas, it is imperative to obtain a work approval first!
  If you adjust the camera yourself or open the pressure-resistant enclo-sure (Ex-d) under voltage, it is absolutely imperative to prevent poten-tially explosive atmosphere!

Opening the pressure-resistant housing

• WARNING – MAY NOT BE OPENED IN HAZARD AREAS

• Note: Depending on classification of hazard areas, it is imperative to obtain a work approval first!
  Even after switching on the power supply, it is absolutely imperative to avoid potentially explosive atmosphere when opening the camera housing. Opening the housing requires disassembly and working in a safe (i.e. non-explosive!) area.

• Attention! Pay attention not to damage the thread surface of the flame-proof gap.

• Attention! Pay attention not to damage the housing seals. Keep them clean!

If the ExCam IPQ1615 is equipped with a weather protection roof this has to be removed prior to starting your work! To do so, loosen the 4x8mm lens screws M4*0.7 at the front and rear sides of the bracket holders (Figure 6-1 ).

To open the stainless-steel housing (T07 VA2.3.x.x) of ExCam IPQ1615, loosen the eight cylinder-head hexagon screws (DIN 912/ ISO 4762) together with their spring rings (DIN 127A) on the rear side of the cable and power supply flange (see Figure 6-3). Caution: do not touch the screw threads with your skin or clothes! On the threads, there is LOCTITE® 243™ (chemical basis is dimethacrylate ester) applied to prevent the bolted connection from unintentional loosening because of impacts and vibrations and to seal them tightly. It is not permitted for the customer to open the front-side sight glass flange! There is no need of such an action.

Carefully pull out the cable and supply flange to the rear, as straight as possible. Because of negative pressure, it may be difficult to remove the flange. The cylindrical clearance fit (H8f7 – DIN ISO 286) of the camera body and flange may not be tilted! Risk of damage to the flame-proof gap (DIN EN 60079-1:2012)!
Attention: The mounting adapter with the housing’s PTC heater, camera module and op-tics, as well as the temperature control, and (if applicable) auxiliary relays and terminal block are fixed on the cable and supply flange. Dealing with these components, too, you have to work very carefully and precisely in order to avoid canting and damage to the in-built components! Caution: do not touch the cylindrical fit surface with your skin or clothes! On the surface, there is oil lubricating paste to protect the surface against fretting corrosion and mechanical stresses. When you open the housing, pay attention that you do not damage the GYLON® flat seal (blue, RAL5012) and do not make it dirty! The flat gasket is loosely attached to the cable and power supply flange. It is fixed only by the bolted connections!

• Attention! Pay attention not to damage the surface of the drill hole and the shaft (fitting) of the flame-proof gap.
• Attention! Pay attention not to damage the housing seals. Keep them clean!

Removing/inserting a SD memory card
Note: The ExCam IPQ1615 has a slot for a micro SDHC memory card (card not included). Saved video files can be played and deleted via the web interface. They are also available in a download list. Moreover, the videos available in the memory card can also be accessed via FTP server in the network.
If the memory card has to be replaced by the user, it should be, as far as possible, empty and pre-formatted with an ext4 or vFAT file system.
When touching electrical components, observe potential equalization (grounding of the body): carry electrostatic-discharge clothes, a PE wristband etc.!

Hardware Reset
To set all the parameters of the ExCam IPQ1615 (including the IP address) to default val-ues, you should run a hardware reset.
The parameters can be reset via the web interface or manually. If the camera placed in the network can no longer be reached or its state is uncontrollable, the reset should be per-formed manually. To do so, proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the camera installation module (Axis Q1615 MkIII) from the power supply.
2. Press and hold the control button (see the illustration below) and, at the same time, connect the system to the voltage supply (PoE).
3. Hold the control button pressed for about 30 seconds.
4. Release the control button. After about a minute, the AXIS Q1615 MkIII will return to factory defaults. If there is a DHCP server in the network, the IP address will be the following: 192.168.0.90 (subnet masking 255.255.255.0).
5. IP address and password can be redefined. If the hardware reset is not satisfactory or the network camera shows serious conflicts or does not work as usual (errors in the browser visualisation, frozen images, control commands no longer processed, slowing down of the system, etc.), it may be necessary to re-install the current firm-ware, or to install an update (see Chapter 7).

Closing of the pressure-resistant housing
For closing the housing, proceed in reverse order as when opening. Use exclusively origi-nal screws included in the supply.
The cable and power-supply flange (K3) is fixed by 8 cylinder-head screws M4*0,0.7 (ISO metric right-turning) with 30 mm thread length (DIN 912/ ISO 4762, grade 6g). Materials of bolted connections are identical to the pressure-resistant stainless steel housing (standard material no. 1.4404 AISI316L). Check whether the threaded holes are undamaged and clean. Before closing, it is also absolutely imperative to check the flame-proof gap (circular cylindrical fit).

Attention! If any mechanical damages occurred to the fitting gap, it is no longer allowed to use the housing!
Attention! Do not lock-in any foreign objects in the housing.

Dismantled screw locks (spring washers DIN 127A) must be used again.

The GYLON® gasket must be used in undamaged condition, according to the flange hole pattern, and placed between the flange and the hull. The lateral position of the flat surface / contact surface is arbitrary. If, when closing the housing, you see that the surface of the fitting gap is dirty or insuffi- ciently lubricated, clean it with a clean cloth and de-grease it with a suitable cleaning agent. Then re-grease it with lubricant suitable for this specific application (e.g., Molykote® P-40 gel for standard applications or special grease OKS 403 in the event of heavy seawater influence). The screwed connections of flange and body components must always be tightened cross-wise to a torque of 3 Nm! Do not tighten the screw too strongly! It can cause rupture of the cylinder head or over-stretching the threads, and thus to impairment of the pressure re-sistance or ignition protection class
Cylinder-head bolts for explosion-proof connection of the camera body with the flange component must always be tightened at a 3 Nm torque – crosswise and evenly!

Battery
The ExCam IPQ1615 is equipped with a high-temperature resistant Panasonic button cell BR2330A/VAN. This cell supplies energy to the internal real time clock (RTC). The cus-tomer is not allowed to replace the battery! In this case, please contact the manufacturer.

Network access and visualization

The most important procedures of the first starting up the camera are described below. The configuration menu of the web surface allows an intuitive navigation and offers several configuration possibilities. For detailed documentation and information how to use the web Interface, please see the User Manual for Axis or visit the following website:
https://www.axis.com/products/axis-q1615-mk-iii

The delivered ExCam IPQ1615 is set to the applicable net frequency (50Hz or 60Hz). If the camera is used at a location with a differing net frequency, the image might start to flicker, particularly in surroundings with fluorescent tubes. In such a case, the applicable settings have to be carried out inside the menu “System Options > Advanced > Plain Con-fig”.

Assigning the IP address
The ExCam IPQ1615 is intended for use in an Ethernet network and requires an IP address to access and control it. In the most today’s networks, a DHCP server is integrated. This server automatically assigns an IP address.
If there is no DHCP server available in the network, the IP default address of ExCam IPQ1615 is “192.168.0.90” (subnet masking 255.255.255.0).
With the “AXIS IP Utility”, it is possible to determine the IP address under Windows; the included USB stick contains this application. If it is not possible to assign the IP address, it might be necessary to change the firewall settings!

The “AXIS IP Utility“ tool automatically recognizes all ExCam devices and visualises them in the device list. It can also be used to manually assign a static IP address. For this pur-pose, the ExCam IPQ1615 network camera has to be installed in the same physical net-work segment (physical subnet) as the computer on which the AXIS IP Utility is running. The network signature of ExCam IPQ1615 is “AXIS Q1615” (see Figure 7-1). MAC address and serial number for clear device identification are also detected and displayed.

Maintenance / Modification

The applicable regulations for the maintenance and servicing of electrical devices in po-tentially explosive atmospheres must be adhered to.
The required maintenance intervals are specific to the individual devices. The operating company has to determine these intervals depending on the application parameters. The maintenance tasks especially include examination of parts on which the ignition protection depends (e.g., proper condition of the casing, seals and cable entry points). If maintenance measures are necessary they have to be initiated and/or executed.
Repairs may only be carried out with original parts of SAMCON Prozessleittechnik GmbH. Damaged pressure-resistant housings have to be replaced completely. In case of doubt, send the part in question back to SAMCON Prozessleittechnik GmbH.
Reparations concerning the explosion protection must only be carried out in accordance with nationally applied regulations by SAMCON Prozessleittechnik GmbH or by an author-ised electrical technician authorised by SAMCON Prozessleittechnik GmbH. Rebuilding of or alterations to the devices are not permitted.

Disposal / Recycling
When disposing of the device, nationally applicable regulations must be observed. This Document is subject to alterations and additions.
