1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read all the instructions in this section in order to ensure long,
trouble-free operation.
•Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions in this section, which contain important warnings
regarding safety.
•After reading, keep this manual handy for future reference.
Safety Symbol and Message Conventions
Safety symbols and messages are used in this manual to prevent bodily injury and property damage which
could result from mishandling. Before doing anything else, read this section first so you are thoroughly aware
of the potential safety hazards as well as understanding the safety symbols and messages.
•This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case
the user may be required to take adequate measures.
•To prevent lightning strikes, install the unit at least 5 meters away from a lightning conductor yet within the
protective range (angle of 45 degrees) of the lightning conductor. Lightning may cause a fire, electric shock,
or personal injury.
•Install the unit only in a location that can structurally support the weight of the unit and the mounting bracket.
Doing otherwise may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury.
•Use nuts and bolts that are appropriate for the ceiling’s wall’s structure and composition. Failure to do so
may cause the unit to fall, resulting in material damage and possible personal injury.
•Tighten each nut and bolt securely. Ensure that the bracket has no loose joints after installation to prevent
accidents that could result in personal injury.
•Have the unit periodically checked by the dealer from where it was purchased. Should the unit or its mounts
corrode or structurally deteriorate, the unit could fall down, possibly resulting in personal injury.
•Should any of the following irregularities be found during use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect
the power supply cord from the AC outlet and contact your TOA dealer. Do not attempt to further use the unit
because a fire or electric shock may result.
•If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit.
•If water or a foreign object enters the unit.
•If the unit falls or the unit case breaks.
•If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of core or disconnection).
•If no image is displayed on the screen.
•Do not insert nor drop metal pieces or flammable materials into the unit’s ventilation slots as this may result
in fire or electric shock.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which could result in death or
serious personal injury if ignored or mishandled.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which could result in
moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage if ignored
or mishandled.
CAUTION
•Leave the unit’s installation to the dealer from where the unit was purchased because the installation
requires expert knowledge. Inadequate installation may cause the unit to fall, possibly resulting in personal
injury.
•Do not hang from the unit, as the unit may fall, possibly resulting in personal injury.
•Avoid installing the unit in locations exposed to sea breeze or corrosive gas. The unit or its mounts may be
subject to corrosion, which could cause the unit to fall, possibly resulting in personal injury.
•Do not touch the unit’s sharp metal edge, as this could result in personal injury.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TOA C-CV44-3 is an outdoor-use high-resolution camera equipped with a 1/4” CCD. Its water-resistant
design permits it to be mounted to outdoor walls or ceilings with no need to protect it from rain and the
elements. Because the camera angle can be freely moved, a wide range of subjects can be monitored,
regardless of installation location. The C-CV44-3 is designed to operate on 24 V AC or 12 V DC, which are
supplied by an external power supply unit. Since its 2X vari-focal, auto-iris lens is built inside the camera, its
angle of view can be manually adjusted.
3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
•Do not point the camera toward the sun or other strong lighting or reflected light.
•Avoid jarring or striking the camera, as the camera may fail.
•Install the camera in locations where the temperature range does not exceed –10°C to +50°C, and no dew
condensation is formed.
•To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Never use benzene, thinner or chemically-treated towel to avoid
damage to the camera’s finish.
•To clean the lens, use a camera blower or lightly wipe with lens cleaning paper.
•Picture quality may suffer if camera cables are wired close to other electrical equipment, such as fluorescent
lamps. In such cases, reroute the wiring.
•Monitor screen pictures may become distorted or roll if the camera is used in locations influenced by strong
electrical or magnetic fields from television transmission antennas, motors or transformers. In such cases,
install the cables inside sheet steel cable conduit.
•Use the external power supply unit of the following rating when the camera is operated on 12 V DC.
12 V DC, over 1.0 A

5. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
[Ceiling mounting example] [Wall mounting example]
Install the unit only in a location that can structurally support the weight
of the unit and the mounting bracket. Doing otherwise may result in the
unit falling down and causing personal injury.
WARNING
Note: Attach the security wire as required. Carefully check to confirm the cable length, cable diameter, and
hook strength, since the shock produced by a camera dropping is very high.
1. Confirm the mounting bracket’s installation location, and determine its mounting direction and position.
Three mounting methods are possible, depending on the installation location.

[Mounting Example 3] Ceilings or walls
Use this method when the camera angle does not
need to be adjusted after camera installation is
completed.
Note: If the bracket is only fixed at one place using
the bracket mounting bolt, the bracket could
rotate or the bolt could become loose. To
prevent this, be sure to securely fix the bracket
at two more places using self-tapping screws
or other anti-rotation type screws.
2. Install female-thread anchors in the ceiling or wall and mount the camera mounting bracket.

3. Attach the camera to the mounting bracket.
Use the supplied insulation spacers, camera mounting bolts (washer-installed M8 x 14mm hex bolt) to
attach.
Note: Because the induced voltage and noise may be generated at the camera mounts, depending on the
installation environment, be sure to use insulation spacers and washers when attaching. Also, never
remove the insulation washers attached to the mounting bracket.
4. Connect the connector.
Connect the connector of the supplied cable with the water-resistant cap to the camera’s Input/Output
terminal, then tighten the connector’s lock screw.
Notes
•Be sure to fully insert the connector to prevent rainwater from getting in the Camera.
•Wrap the self-adhesive type butyl rubber tape round cable joints to prevent rainwater from entering.

4. Set the Mode setting switch for the best possible picture reproduction, depending on the installation
conditions.
•Set the Shutter speed switch to the ON position when light flicker is an annoyance.
•Set the Backlight compensation switch to the ON position when a subject appears blacked-out.
