Operating Environment

 

 

 

Mounting to a firm place

As the unit rotates at high speed, mount it on a firm place with sufficient strength to support the vibration and weight of the unit

Mass:Approx. 1.9 kg (VN-V685U/VN-V686BU) :Approx. 5.5 kg (VN-V686WPBU)

If the strength is weak, the vibration will cause fuzzy images on the monitor screen. In the worst scenario, the camera may even fall off and hit somebody, resulting in serious accidents.

Mounting the camera correctly with the designated clamping brackets

Always use the designated clamping brackets. Be sure to connect the fall prevention wire and tighten the fixing screws or nuts securely.

This unit is able to divert lightning conduction to itself and the connecting cables to a certain extent but this is not 100 % guaranteed. For installation locations that are likely to suffer lightning strikes, be sure to take appropriate measures such as adding arrestor to the connecting cables.

Consult your dealer as special technique is required when installing this product. Ensure that the fixing screws or nuts are tightened securely, otherwise, the unit may fall off.

Inspect the unit regularly.
