Do not install or use the unit in the following kinds of locations.
≥On walls (where the unit would be installed sideways)
≥ In locations (including places such as under  the eaves of a building) where the unit would 
be directly exposed to rain or water
≥ In locations such as kitchens where there are high concentrations of steam and grease
≥ In outdoor locations or hot places where the temperature will exceed 40 oC (104 °F)
≥ In cold locations where the temperature will drop below 0 oC (32 °F)
≥ In locations where the humidity will exceed 80%RH
≥ In locations where chemicals are used such as near swimming pools
≥ At sea, in coastal areas or in locations where corrosive gases are emitted
≥ In locations where radiation, X-rays, or strong radio waves or magnetic fields are 
generated
≥ In locations where the unit would  be subject to a great deal of vibration such as on board a 
vehicle or ship (this unit is not designed to be used in vehicles)
≥ In locations where the temperature is subject to sudden changes such as near the air 
outlet of an air conditioner or near a door which allows the outside air to come in
What to avoid to ensure that the unit will perform stably over a prolonged period.
≥ Using the unit for a prolonged period in a location with high temperature and humidity 
levels will cause its parts to deteriorate and shorten its service life.
≥ Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any air directly toward the installation 
location.
Be absolutely sure to use the supplied stand and screws to install the camera.
≥ Do not mount the unit by employing any methods other than those specified.
≥ Do not remodel the stand or screws provided with the unit.
Before installation, always disconnect the power plug.
Tightening up the mounting screws
≥ Tighten up the screws and bolts securely to the degree that is appropriate for each of the 
materials used in the mounting location and structures.
≥ After tightening up the screws and bolts, check  that there is no unsteadiness and that the 
parts have been tightened securely.
≥ Use the specified tools and tighten the screws firmly.
≥ Tighten up the screws using the specified torque driver. Do not use electrical drivers or 
impact drivers.
When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it lying around, but be 
absolutely sure to dispose of it properly.
Do not attach a filter, hood, extender or other parts to the unit.
Use the dedicated AC adaptor and AC cable provided with the unit.
Connect the AC adaptor and AC cable to the power inlet securely.
Installing the AC adaptor
≥ Do not place the AC adaptor directly onto a ceiling panel or other such surface.
Extreme danger is posed when water has collected on the surface as a result of leaking 
rain, for instance.
Secure the AC adaptor firmly to the bottom or other surface of a reinforcing member made 
of channel steel where dust will not accumulate.

≥Secure the AC adaptor firmly so that there will be no chance that it will fall off or fall down.
Secure it using a strength which can withstand the mass (approx. 0.1 kg (0.22 lb.)) of the 
AC adaptor.
Install the accessory AC adaptor near the main power outlet, and position it in such a 
way that its power plug can be plugged into and unplugged from the outlet easily.
When connecting the AC adaptor to a power outlet on the ceiling or on any other surface 
where dust may collect, wipe off the dust on the power plug at periodic intervals as an 
anti-tracking measure.
Connecting the AC cable
Be absolutely sure to connect the AC cable of the AC adaptor through a circuit breaker using 
one of the following methods.
1) Connect the power cable th rough a power control unit.
2) Connect the power cable to a circuit breaker  in a power distribution panel with a contact 
distance of 3.0 mm or more. Use a circuit breaker which is capable of shutting off all the 
poles of the main power supply with the exception of the protective ground conductor.
3) Install the AC adaptor near the power outlet, and connect it through the power plug.
If there is a possibility of noise interference
Either wire the cables so that the power cable (ceiling light cord) of AC 100 V* (AC 220 V**) 
or more, and the signal cable are placed at least 1 m (3.3 ft.) apart.
Alternatively run each cable through its own metal conduit. 
(The metal conduits must be grounded.) *For AW-HE2P
**For AW-HE2E
Radio signal interference
If the unit is positioned near a TV or radio tr ansmitting antenna or a strong electrical field or 
magnetic field (such as that generated by a motor, transformer or power lines), its images 
may be distorted and/or the images may be affected by noise.
When connecting the cables, ensure that the connector areas will not be subject to 
any load.
Doing so may cause malfunctioning.
Allowing the generated heat to escape
This unit allows the heat generated inside to escape from its surfaces.
Do not install the unit in a location where it will  be surrounded by walls or other surfaces and 
where heat will be trapped.
