CAUTION!
Fasteners are not supplied with MIC612 cameras because the type of fastener used depends on the material to which the fastener is attached. The material must accommodate a minimum
To mount a MIC Series camera, follow these steps:
1.Identify a secure location for the mount and for the camera. Locate the mounting position so that the camera cannot be interfered with intentionally or accidentally. Ensure that the installation location has the appropriate clearance from power and lightning conductors, in accordance with NEC725 and NEC800 (CEC Rule
–Any heat sources
–Any overhead power lines, power circuits, or electrical lights, or where it may contact power lines, circuits, or lights
2.Ensure that the mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight of the camera and mounting hardware under all expected conditions of load, vibration, and temperature. MIC612 cameras must be secured to one of the following surfaces:
–Concrete Solid/Cast
–Concrete Masonry Unit (Concrete Block)
–Brick (all types)
–Metal (Steel/Aluminum, minimum
Note: If the camera is positioned in a highly exposed area where lightning strikes may occur, it is recommended to install a lightning conductor within 0.5 m of the camera and at least 1.5 m higher than the camera. The construction of the camera housing itself is capable of coping with secondary strikes. If the correct lightning protection is applied, no damage to the internal electronics or camera should result. An earth bonding connection to the case also provides protection against damage from secondary strikes. (See step 8.)
NOTICE!
MIC 612 cameras have an internal fuse for protection. The fuse (XF4001) is a
3.Fit the mounting brackets securely, observing all appropriate safety precautions and local building regulations.
4.Carefully lift the camera to the mounting point.
5.Connect the female
6.Earth the camera using one of the supplied securing bolts. Only earth the camera at a single point to prevent earth loops and video distortion (hum bars), caused by electrical interference, from appearing on the camera picture in the control room. Please note:
–The camera module and housing are electrically isolated, so the housing should be safety earthed regardless. The safety earth should be a bonding connection (for
