Product Information
- The product is a microphone unit (Model No. WV-PM500) designed for professional outdoor use. It is manufactured by i-PRO Co., Ltd. The microphone unit is used for audio input of network cameras and can be used regardless of the cable length specification of the camera.
- The microphone type is an electret condenser microphone with a plug-in power type feeding method. It operates within a voltage range of 1.5 V DC to 5 V DC and has a maximum current of 300 A. The microphone has a non-directional directionality and a frequency range of 20 Hz to 15,000 Hz. It has a sensitivity of 60 dB or more A-weighted (f=1 kHz Pin=1 Pa) and a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 110 dB (THD=10%).
- The microphone unit is equipped with dustproof and waterproof terminal/cable connections. The cable length is 2.6 m (8.53 feet), and the total mass of the unit is approximately 60 g (0.13 lbs) including the cover and cable. The main body and covers are made of PC resin in i-PRO white finish, while the wall mount attachment is made of PC resin in black finish.
Product Usage Instructions
- Securely mount the microphone unit to an installation surface according to the provided Installation Guide to prevent injury or accidents.
- If the microphone unit needs to be mounted on a section that may not be sufficiently reinforced, ensure that the section is reinforced adequately.
- To prevent noise disturbance in video or audio, keep the microphone unit at least 1 m (3.28 feet) away from strong electric fields generated by TV or radio antennas, motors, transformers, or power lines (lamp lines) of AC100 V or more. Alternatively, conduct the power distribution work using metal pipes and ensure proper grounding.
- If the microphone unit will no longer be used, remove it from the installation.
- For detailed installation procedures, refer to the provided Installation Procedure Leaflet.
