INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Warning:

Select a place that is strong enough for the installation. If you install the camera on a ceiling or wall, except for accidents caused by fault in the camera, Panasonic holds absolutely no responsibility for accidents caused by the camera falling due to unsuitable installation. Take sufficient care when installing the camera. If the installation is not strong enough, be sure to sufficiently reinforce the location and check that it is safe.

To prevent the camera from falling, attach the safety wire to the mounting bracket or the anchor bolt before starting to install the camera to prevent it from falling.

Always request installation work from a qualified service person or system installer. Lack of technical knowledge creates the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, and material damage.

Camera Installation Location

Install the camera on a concrete ceiling or wall at a location that is sufficiently strong to support it.

About ceiling mounts/brackets

Bolts for mounting the ceiling mount Attachment Pipe to a ceiling or wall are not provided. You need to purchase them separately in accordance with the materials and strength of the place you are installing the camera.

This camera is designed for use in a hanging con- figuration only. Using it in an upright or inclined configuration can cause malfunction and shorten the life of the camera.

Install the camera in a horizontal configuration, with the dome pointed downwards.

Never install or use the camera in the following locations.

Near a swimming pool or other areas where chemicals are used

Food preparation areas and other locations where there are large amounts of steam vapor and oil, in flammable atmospheres, other special environments

Areas where radiation, X-rays, strong electric waves, or magnetism is generated

At sea, in coastal areas, or in areas where corrosive gas is being generated

Areas outside of the allowable ambient operating temperature range (-40 °C to +50 °C {-40 °F to 122 °F})

In a motor vehicle, on a boat, or other areas subject to strong vibration (This camera is not designed for use in a vehicle.)

Near an air conditioner outlet or any areas subject to sudden changes in temperature. (Such conditions can cause clouding and condensation formation on the dome cover.)

Wiring power to the camera

The camera does not have a power switch. During the electrical work, configure the power supply to the camera so it can be turned on and off. A self-cleaning function is activated (PAN/TILT/ZOOM/FOCUS) when the camera is turned on.

Noise interference considerations

When using a power line that is greater than 120 V AC and wiring that is longer than 1 meter, wiring should be routed using a separate metal conduit. (The metal conduit must be earth grounded.)

Important:

Before setting up the camera for a configuration where the camera's RS485 data port is used for camera control (pan, tilt, etc.) by the system controller, the camera's DIP switches must be configured to specify the unit number and communication parameters. (page 13)

If DIP switch setting is not performed, the system controller control will not be possible and camera setup will have to be performed again. Be sure to check the DIP switch settings before setting up the camera.

Note: If you need to connect a ground, be sure to do it before you connect the main power. Also, when removing the ground, be sure to disconnect the main power.

Beware of high humidity.

If the camera is installed when humidity is very high, moisture may collect in the camera and cause the dome to become foggy. If the dome becomes foggy, remove it when the humidity is low and eliminate the moisture inside the camera, and then replace the dome. (page 7, 10)

About the heater

The camera comes with a built-in heater so it can be used in cold regions. The heater automatically turns on when the internal temperature goes below 10 °C {50 °F}. However, snow and frost that collect on the dome cover may not melt if the temperature falls below -40 °C {-40 °F}. Care needs to be taken regarding the ambient and internal temperature when using the camera in cold regions.
