AXIS Q1931–E Thermal Network Camera

Multi-Connector Cable (sold separately)

Multi-Connector Cable (sold separately)

When connecting external equipment to the Axis product, a multi-connector cable (available from Axis) is required in order to maintain the product’s IP rating. The multi-connector cable can be purchased from your Axis reseller.

Connect the multi-connector cable to the product’s multi-connector. To locate the multi-connector, see Hardware Overview, on page

5 . The cable provides the following connectors:

Note

See page 53 for technical specifications.

Power connector - 2-pin terminal block used for power input. The polarity of the cables does not matter. Use a limited power source (LPS) with either a rated output power limited to 100 W or a rated output current limited to 5 A.

Audio in (pink) - 3.5 mm input for a mono microphone, or a line-in mono signal (left channel is used from a stereo signal).

Audio out (green) - 3.5 mm output for audio (line level) that can be connected to a public address (PA) system or an active speaker with a built-in amplifier. A stereo connector must be used for the audio out.

I/O terminal connector - Use with external devices in combination with, for example, tampering alarms, motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording and alarm notifications. In addition to ground and auxiliary power, the I/O terminal connector provides the interface to:

Digital output — For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface, output buttons on the Live View page or by an Action Rule. The output will show as active (shown under System Options > Port & Devices > Port Status) if the alarm device is activated.

Digital input — An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the state changes and the input becomes active (shown under System Options > Port & Devices > Port Status).
