Safety Information
Installation and removal of the unit and its accessories must be
carried out by qualified personnel. Please read all of the safety
instructions below before installation and operation.
Installation
This device is a class A product and may cause radio
interference. Take measures if necessary.
If the product does not work properly, please contact your
dealer. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself.
(We shall not assume any responsibility for problems caused
by unauthorized repair or maintenance.)
Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using
the camera.
Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
Do not touch sensor modules with fingers. If cleaning is
necessary, use a clean cloth with a bit of ethanol and wipe it
gently. If the camera will not be used for an extended period
of time, put on the lens cap to protect the sensor from dirt.
Do not aim the camera lens at the strong light such as sun or
incandescent lamp. The strong light can cause fatal damage
to the camera.
The sensor may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any
laser equipment is being used, make sure that the surface of
the sensor not be exposed to the laser beam.
While shipping, the camera should be packed in its original
packing.
Do not stare at the optical interface (especially for the laser
model) when the optical module is in operation.
Keep the camera from water and other liquid to prevent fire
and electric shock. Disconnect power before you move the
camera. The camera is powered on when the power cord is
connected to the power source.
Brackets are required for wall mount and pendant mount.
Keep away from vibration sources during mounting. You can
install your camera with a housing to provide the correct
level of protection. Choose a proper bracket and housing
recommended by your dealer.
In the circumstance of strong wind, we recommend you to
use the professional standing pole (the bracket adapter is
not recommended) and big universal joint to ensure the
stability of the camera.
Do not connect the power adapter to the camera after it is
connected to the mains supply. You are not allowed to
remove the power cord from the camera before powering
off the adapter.
Use a proper power adapter or a PoE device. An improper
power adapter may damage your camera.
Ensure that the high level signal of alarm input is not higher
than 5 VDC when connecting to the alarm input interface.
Use the power cable connector delivered with the device.
Make sure the connector is in good condition (clip) and
secured into place. Do not fully stretch the power cord,
otherwise, the connector may be loose or disconnected due
to vibration or shake.
Use the waterproof tapes to protect the end of tail cable,
and keep the tail cable from water.
The Ethernet optical interface and copper interface cannot
work simultaneously. To switch to the copper interface,
power off the camera first, remove the optical module, and
then restart the camera after inserting the cable into the
copper interface. To switch to the optical interface, power
off the camera first, insert the optical module, and then
restart the camera (you do not need to remove the cable
inserted to the Ethernet copper interface, because the
optical port takes precedence in this case).
Maintenance
If there is dust on the lens or the front glass surface, remove
the dust gently using an oil-free brush or a rubber dust
blowing ball.
If there is grease on the lens, remove the grease using an
oil-free cloth gently and then clean the lens in a circular
spiral from the center outward using an oil-free cloth or a
lens cleaning paper dipped with small amount of cleaning
solution. If the grease still cannot be removed, change
another oil-free cloth or lens cleaning paper and clean the
lens gently until it is removed.
If there is grease or a dust stain on the front glass surface,
clean the glass surface gently from the center outward using
anti-static gloves or an oil-free cloth. If the grease or the
stain still cannot be removed, use anti-static gloves or an
oil-free cloth dipped with detergent and clean the glass
surface gently until it is removed.
Do not use organic solvents, such as benzene or ethanol
when cleaning the front glass surface.
Never look at the transmit laser while the power is on.
Never look directly at the fiber ports and the fiber
cable ends when they are powered on.
Use of controls or adjustments to the performance or
procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous laser emissions.
