 Important This symbol indicates important or restricted items.

 Note

Contains reference information for operation or additional explanations.

 

Do not install in the following places:

 

•  Places in strong direct sunlight, near heat-generating objects, or locations subject to high 

temperatures 

•  Places near fire sources or flammable solvents (alcohol, thinner, fuel, etc.) 

•  Places subject to oily smoke or steam 

•  Confined or enclosed places

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

•  

 

Insulate the ends of cables you are not using.

Failure to insulate will cause fire or electric shock.

Notes on Power Supply

•  

 

Only use the dedicated AC adapter (sold separately) for AC power.

•  Do not set any heavy objects on the power cable (or the LAN cable for a PoE power supply).

•  Do not pull, forcibly bend, scratch, or modify the power cable (or the LAN cable for a PoE power 

supply). 

•  

 

Do not cover or wrap the AC adapter (sold separately) with cloth or blankets.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

 

For installation or inspection of this camera, consult the dealer where you purchased the product.

 

•  This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should conform to all local codes. 

•  When installing, make sure the surface is capable of withstanding the total weight of the camera and 

accessories, and that it is sufficiently reinforced.

•  Be sure to use installation screws designed for the type of surface the camera is to be installed.

•  Periodically check the parts and screws for rust and loosening, in order to prevent injuries and 

equipment damage due to falling items.

•  Do not install in unstable places, places subject to significant vibration or impact, or places subject to 

salt damage or corrosive gas.

•  Do not install in places subject to strong winds.

•  Do not install where snow can accumulate directly on the camera.

•  Be sure to attach the safety wire when installing the camera.

Failure to do so may result in the camera falling or other accidents.

•  Do not touch the edges of metal parts with bare hands.

•  Take care not to catch your fingers when installing.

Failure to do so may result in injuries.

•  Do not move the lens unit by hand.

•  Do not install on an unstable surface.

•  To maximize shock resistant specifications, do not install on insufficiently strong surfaces or surfaces 

subject to significant vibration.

•  After turning off the power, do not turn the power on again for at least five seconds.

•  Take measures to remove static electricity before performing any procedures.

•  If there is condensation, please wait to power on, until the condensation dissipates.

•  Please waterproof and dust-proof camera as necessary, when installing outdoors.

Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.

•  Take care not to damage wiring or piping.

Failure to do so may result in damage to peripheral items.

 Important

•  We recommend the installation of a lightning arrester (a surge protection device) as a measure against failures caused by 

lightning strikes. Please refer to our website for details.

When installing the camea outdoors, observe the following precautions to retain 

waterproof/dustproof capabilities.

.

• ・ Use the sunshade cover (sold separately) when installing in a location with direct 

sunlight.

• ・ Waterproof the cable connections and the ends of cables you are not using, including 

their connectors.

• ・ When mounting the camera onto a wall or other upright surface, position the cables 

straight down to prevent rain infiltration.

• ・ If wiring by connecting the camera to the composite pipe (3/4 inch NPSM threaded 

hole), bridge the gap using the conduit adapter (sold separately). When connecting 

the conduit adapter and the pipe, wrap Teflon tape around the tip of the pipe 

to prevent water getting in as necessary, clear any debris, and firmly tighten. If 

necessary, apply silicon sealant to seal it tightly after attaching the pipe.

•  Firmly fix the dome case to the main unit of the camera with the lock screws, taking 

care not to pinch cables between the main unit and dome case.

 

•  If you discover defective conditions such as smoke, strange sounds, heat or strange odors, 

immediately stop using the camera and contact your nearest dealer.

Fire or electric shock may result from continued use of the product.

•  If thunder starts, stop installation or inspection etc. and do not touch the camera or continue 

connecting the cable.

•  Do not disassemble or modify the camera.

•  Do not damage the connecting cable.

•  Do not insert foreign objects such as water or metal into the camera.

•  Do not use flammable sprays near the camera.

•  Do not leave LAN cables, external power supply, or the power connector for the AC adapter (

sold 

separately

) connected when the camera is not in use for long periods.

•  Do not use flammable solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner or benzine when cleaning the camera.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

Please refer to the installation procedures or the Appendix – Specifications for specifications not listed below.
