Use the formula below to select 
the correct power supply for 
cameras connected in parallel 
(positive to positive, negative to 
negative):
Total current for a 4 VAC 
system:
TOTAL CURRENT = (0mA x total number of cameras)   Example: 0mA x  total cameras = 1010mA
Note: 0mA is camera plus power supply

CABLE AND POWER GUIDELINES
This chart shows the proper current needed for power supplies for Q-View Series 
cameras. Use Class 2 Power only. Input voltage must be 
24 VAC/VDC.

NOTE: The above table is based on a "worst-case" power supply. Using a regulated or switching power supply can increase your cable 
            distance. Videolarm recommends using our PS4 power supply, or a CSA/UL listed Class 2 power supply.

The QRH is setup with (2) individual power inputs.  
 
1.  Accessory Power (yellow and green wire)
 
2.  Camera Power (red and orange)
If you wish to provide a single power transformer it is recommended 
that:
1.  Be certain that you know the total power consumption of the hous-
     ing Heaters (25 watts) + Blowers (2 watts) + camera/pan-tilt (not 
     supplied) 
2.  Check the supplied wiring chart to be sure that you have the 
     proper gauge wire for the distance that you intend to run your 
     power wires. 
3.  Bring power to the 3 and 4 position of the power connector (yellow 
     and green wire) 
4.  Two jumpers are provided in the housing packet.  Jumper from the 
     1
st
 position to the 3
rd
 position and from the 2
nd
  position to the 4
th
 
     position of the terminal block.  Be careful not to short between the 
     yellow and green wires.
