Cautions:

Be sure to connect the GND (grounding) lead of the camera and grounding terminal of the power supply when using a 24 V AC power source.

Shrinking the cord-entry seal is a onetime procedure. Do not shrink the cord-entry seal until it has been ascer- tained that unit is functioning.

ONLY CONNECT THIS TO 24 V AC or 12 V DC CLASS 2 POWER SUPPLY.

To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, the UL listed wire VW-1 style 1007 should be used for the cord for Input Terminals.

Do not use a transformer larger than 10 VA.

Cord length and wire gauge 24 V AC

The recommended cord length and copper wire size are shown in the table for reference.

The voltage supplied to the camera should be between 19.5 V AC and 28 V AC.
