3. To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a UL
listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) to connect the
power supply to the camera.
4. Be sure to use a ceiling board/wall having
enough strength to support this camera. 
5. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Ask a qualified service personnel for servicing.
6. Handle the camera with care.
Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking,
etc. The camera could be damaged by improper

7. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the camera body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when it is dirty.

Whether the camera is in use or not, never aim it at
the sun or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise,
blooming or smear may be caused.
9. Never aim the camera at strong light sources for
an extended period of time.
A light source such as a spot light causes burn-in on
the display screen. Failure to observe this may
cause the image to become discolored due to dete-
rioration of the color filter in the CCD.
10. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified
temperature, humidity or power source ratings.
Do not use the camera in an extreme environment
where high temperature or high humidity exists. Do
not place the camera near heat sources such as

tures are between –10 °C and +50 °C (14 °F to
122 °F) and humidity is below 90 %.
The input power source is 24 V AC 60 Hz.
11. Do not install the camera near the air outlet of an
air conditioner.
The lens may become cloudy due to condensation if
the camera is used under the following conditions.
•Rapid temperature fluctuations by switching
the air conditioner on and off.
•Rapid temperature fluctuations due to fre-
quent opening and closing of a door.
•Use in an environment where eyeglasses
become foggy.
•Use in a room filled with cigarette smoke or
dust.
If the lens becomes cloudy due to condensation,
remove the dome cover and wipe all moist surfaces
with a soft cloth.
When installing, be sure to wipe off water drops and
splashes inside the camera. Failure to do so may
cause condensation.
12. Do not aim the camera at the same object for a
long time.
Burn-in of an image may be caused on the fluores-
cent screen of the CRT.

							An example of flush mounting is shown. This example
shows two boxes: one is for camera mounting and the
other is for cable junction.
1. Procurement
•Four screws 
Locally procure four bracket fixing screws suitable
for the installation surface and structure of the
wall/ceiling or junction box.
•Junction box 
When planning to use a junction box(s), procure one
locally that meets the dimensions in the figure.
2. Installation space
Prepare a space on the surface measuring ø175 mm or
more.
3. Cable route
•When routing cables through the wall/ceiling, drill a
hole as shown in the figure.
•When routing cables sideways, open the sideway
cable exit unscrewing the lid with a hexagon
wrench.

INSTALLATION
■Installation Plans &
Preparations
The supplied camera-mounting bracket can be
installed directly on the wall/ceiling or on a procured
junction box.
On the bottom of the bracket, there are four 6.5 mm
screw holes and six 5.5 mm holes. Use the appropriate
holes matching to the installation surface.
