Precautions

Storage and operating environment

VN-V685U/VN-V686BU is an indoor camera. It cannot be used outdoors.

VN-V685U/VN-V686BU is a pendant mount camera. Be sure to place the camera head horizontally. The product will not work properly if it is tilted.

VN-V686WPBU is specially designed to be mounted on walls. Be sure to place the camera head horizontally. The product will not work properly if it is tilted.

Do not store in the following environments. It might result in malfunctions or failure.

●Locations beyond the allowable operating humidity range of 20 %RH to 90 %RH. (condensation is not allowed)

●Near equipment that emits strong magnetic fields, such as transformers or motors.

●Near equipment that emits radio waves, such as transceivers and mobile phones.

●Locations with excessive dust and sand.

●Locations that are subject to vibration such as inside the car or ship.

●Locations prone to moisture such as window side.

●Locations subject to steam or oil, such as kitchens.

●Special environment, such as those with combustible atmosphere

●Locations that are subjected to radiation, X-rays, salt attack or corrosive gases.

●Locations where medicine is used such as pools.

●Hot or cold places that are beyond the allowable

operating temperature range

●When power is supplied to VN-V686WPBU using PoE, the heater will not work. Use an AC 24 V power supply when using the camera in an environment under -10I.

When using VN-V686WPBU in a low temperature environment (-40Ito -20I), images may not be displayed for up to two hours until the interior is warmed up by the built-in heater. It is therefore recommended that power be supplied to the camera at all times when the surrounding temperature is low. Inadequate heat ventilation may result in malfunction

of this product. Be sure not to block vents around the product. This product discharges heat from the surface of the main unit.

Do not install it at locations directly subjected to cold air such as near the vents of air-conditioners or at locations with high temperature. Condensation may occur inside the dome cover.

Use of this product and cables connected to this product at locations where strong electric waves and magnetic waves are generated (e.g., near radio, TV, transformer, monitor, etc.) may cause noise interferences in the images or changes in the color.

Others

Do not subject the lens to strong light source such as sun rays. This may cause the equipment to malfunction.

This camera comes with a built-in AGC circuit. The sensitivity increases automatically at a dark place and the screen may appear grainy. This is not a malfunction.

While AGC is activated, if a transceiver which causes strong electromagnetic wave is used near the camera, the picture may suffer from beat. Please use the camera more than three meters away from such transceivers.

When automatic iris is selected, the Iris Control button may not work depending on the brightness of the screen (when the amount of light is not sufficient). In this case, set the iris to Manual.

When automatic iris is selected and AGC is ON, even if the iris setting can be changed with the Iris Control button, the Sense Up function will be enabled and the brightness of the screen may not change. In this case, set AGC to OFF or set the iris to Manual. When this camera is used in the White Balance AATW-NarrowB, AATW-WideB(automatic adjustment) mode, the color tone may differ slightly from the actual color due to the principle of the automatic tracking white balance circuit. This is not a malfunction.

If a high brightness object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the screen may have white vertical tailings. This phenomenon (smear) is characteristic of solid-state image sensors and is not a malfunction. Do not touch the dome cover with your hands. Dirty covers will cause image deterioration.

Do not subject the dome cover to strong impact. It may result in damage and water seepage.

The dome cover may fog up due to the drastic change of temperature when humidity is high.

Do not connect an AC 24 V cable to AC 110 V/AC 230 V power supply. The camera internal circuit will be damaged. Should that happens, do not use the camera. Bring it to your nearest JVC dealer for repair. (charged separately)

To supply AC 24 V, use an AC 24 V supplying power unit that is insulated from AC 110 V/AC 230 V line.
