Precautions when controlling the

AK-HC1500 from the AW-CB400

The AK-HC1500 supports the AK-HRP150 protocol and AW-CB400 protocol, and it is the AK-HRP150 protocol which was set before the AK-HC1500 was shipped from the factory.

When controlling the AK-HC1500 using the AW-CB400, follow the steps below to change the protocol setting of AK-HC1500 from AK-HRP150 to AW-CB400.

When changing the protocol before installation Refer to the operating instructions of the AK-HC1500, and change the protocol.

When changing the protocol after installation

Proceed with the installation following the steps given in the section entitled “Installation”.

Loosen the two top cover open/close bolts of the camera housing, and open the top cover.

Set the power switch of the AC adapter to ON.

When the power of the AK-HC1500 has been turned on, refer to the operating instructions of the AK-HC1500, and change the protocol. (Change the PROTOCOL setting on the SETTING menu to “4.”)

Set the power switch of the AC adapter to OFF.

Connections with AC adapter

Disconnect the AC power cable which was already attached.

The cable used is purchased locally. Purchase a water- proof cable designed to be used outdoors.

Use a cable which has a high enough capacity (AC 120 V 2 A or more).

Pass the cable through the rubber bushing for the AC power input cable, and tighten it securely so that rain water or drops of water will not seep inside.

[Thickness of compatible cable: 1/4” to 5/16” (6.5 to 8.5 mm) diameter]

Attach the power line (N, L) to the terminal block.

Attach the ground line (FG) to the grounding screw ().
