STEP 1 – PREPARING TO MOUNT THE CAMERA
-
The mounting surface must withstand five times the camera weight.
-
Do not let the cables get caught in improper places or the electric line cover can be damaged.
This may cause a short or fire. -
CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
-
This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Supply Unit marked “Class 2” or “LPS” or “PS2” and rated 12 Vdc, 0.49A (DWC-MF5Wi4TWDMP) and 0.33A (DWCMF2Wi4TWDMP) min.
-
The wired LAN hub providing power over the Ethernet (PoE) in accordance with IEEE 802-3af shall be a UL Listed device with the output evaluated as a Limited Power Source as defined in UL60950-1 or PS2 as defined in UL62368-1.
-
Unit is intended for installation in a Network Environment 0 as defined in IEC TR 62102. As such, associated Ethernet wiring shall be limited to inside the building.
-
For the installation process, remove the dome cover from the camera module by loosening the three (3) screws on the dome. Use the wrench provided with the camera.
-
Install the moisture packet in the base of the camera’s lens.
a. Remove the moisture absorber from the packaging.
b. Cut the card and folder along the dotted line.
c. Place the moisture absorber around the camera’s lens module.
NOTE: The camera will generate enough heat to dry moisture during
operation.
In most cases it will not need the moisture absorber for more than the first
day. In cases where the camera can experience a moisture issue, users must
keep the moisture absorber in the camera. The moisture absorber has an
approximately 6-month life cycle, varying depending on the environment.
WARNING: It is highly recommended that you install the moisture absorber when mounting the camera. The moisture absorber prevents moisture from being captured inside the camera’s housing, which may cause image performance issues and damage the camera.
STEP 2 – POWERING THE CAMERA
Pass the wires through and make all necessary connections.
Reset Button Use a PoE Injector (required. Sold separately) to connect data and power to the camera using a single Ethernet cable.|
OR
