							3   Mounting the Unit
3.1  Mounting the camera side unit Please read the following information before mounting the camera side unit.
IMPORTANT•Mount the camera side unit to a secure location that is firm enough to support its
weight (approximately 110 g (0.24 lb)) and the weight of the cabling.
• Mount the camera side unit to secure part of the ceiling or wall such as a crossbeam.
• Do not mount camera side units above or below other camera side units. This can cause transmission interference. When mounting several camera side units
in the same area, mount them side by side each other.
• The pull -out strength of the installation area must be at least 294 N  (66.1 lbf) per
screw.
1. Mount the camera side unit on a durable part of a ceiling or wall using wood screws
(4 ´20 mm {13/16 inches} nominal diameter) (accessory).
• Use the included wood screws to mount the unit onto a wooden ceiling or wall only. If the ceiling or wall is not wooden, use screws  (locally procured) appropriate
for the ceiling or wall materials.

							3.2  Mounting the receiver side unit to a RackBy using the Rack Mount Connecting Fitting  (locally procured), 3 or 4 connected receiver
side units can be mounted to a rack.
Prepare the Rack Mount Connecting Fitting  (BY-HCA10A), which includes the following
items.
– Mounting bracket (2 pcs.)
– Underside continuous connecting bracket (2 pcs.)
– Screw (Flat-head M3 ´6 mm {1/4 inches}: 32 pcs.)
– Screw (M3 ´6 mm {1/4 inches}: 6 pcs.)
IMPORTANT
• Make sure to use the screws included with the BY-HCA10A.
• The part number differs depending on where the rack mount connecting fitting was purchased.
– For U.S. and Canada: BY-HCA10A
– For Europe and other countries: BY-HCA10CE

							Note• When mounting the receiver side units, place one of the units to either theleft or right edge and connect then connect the units.
• The BY-HCA10A rack mount bracket comes with 2 underside continuous
connecting bracket and 32 screws  (flat-head: M3´6 mm {1/4 inches}). When
connecting 3 units together, use 1 underside continuous connecting bracket
and 12 screws  (flat-head: M3 ´6 mm {1/4 inches}). Keep the remaining parts.
• Connecting 4 receiver side units
(Recommended torque 0.7±0.3 N·m {0.52±0.22 lbf·ft})
Note
The BY-HCA10A rack mount bracket comes with 2 underside continuous
connecting bracket and 32 screws (flat-head: M3 ´6 mm {1/4 inches}). When
connecting 4 units together, use 1 underside continuous connecting bracket and
16 screws (flat-head: M3 ´6 mm {1/4 inches}). Keep the remaining parts.

receiver side units with the screws included with the BY-HCA10A.
(Recommended torque 0.7±0.3 N·m {0.52±0.22 lbf·ft})
Note
• The BY-HCA10A rack mount bracket comes with 6 screws (M3 ´6 mm
{1/4  inches}). Use 4 screws  (M3´6 mm {1/4 inches}) when mounting to sides
of the connected receiver side units. Keep the remaining parts.

							3.Secure the connected receiver side units to the separately-sold racks.
• Securely mount the receiver side units to the rack with the rack mounting screws
(locally procured, nominal diameter 5 mm {3/16 inches} tapping).
• When mounting to a rack, we recommend that you attach a cooling fan or other
device to keep the units cool.
IMPORTANT
• Take measures to ensure that the temperature in the rack does not exceed50 °C (122 °F).
• When mounting receiver side units to the rack, leave 1U (44 mm {1 23/32  inches}) or more clearance above and below the receiver side units.

							4   Connecting the Unit
4.1  Connection Conditions Maximum cable length varies depending on the power source used for the receiver side
unit and the camera. Refer to the following information when connecting a camera to
the coaxial LAN converter.
4.1.1  When using a 1-channel Receiver Side Unit
IMPORTANT •Use RG -6/U coaxial cable with a loop resistance of 4  W/100  m {328  feet} or less.
• When the receiver side unit is powered by PoE, use a PoE camera that consumes
no more than 6.5 W. A PoE+ camera cannot be connected.
