Caution

• Do not move the lens unit by hand.
• Do not install on an unstable surface.
• To maximize shock resistant specifications, do not install on insufficiently strong surfaces or surfaces

subject to significant vibration.

• After turning off the power, do not turn the power on again for at least five seconds.
• Take measures to remove static electricity before performing any procedures.
• If there is condensation, please wait to power on, until the condensation dissipates.
• Please waterproof and dust-proof camera, when installing outdoors.

Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.

• Take care not to damage wiring or piping.

Failure to do so may result in damage to peripheral items.

Important

• We recommend the installation of a lightning arrester (a surge protection device) as a measure against failures caused by

lightning strikes. Please refer to our website for details.

Precautions for Installing the Camera Outdoor

When installing the camera outdoors, observe the following precautions to retain
waterproof/dustproof capabilities.

• Use the sunshade cover (sold separately) when installing in a location with direct

sunlight.

• Completely wrap the cable connections and the ends of cables you are not using,

including the connectors, with waterproof tape up to the cable jacket, so as not to
allow water to enter. Please refer to the waterproofing explanation sheet for details on
how to wrap the waterproofing tape.

• When mounting the camera onto a wall or other upright surface, make sure that the

cables and composite pipe are facing down to prevent rain infiltration.

• If wiring by connecting the camera to the composite pipe (3/4 inch NPSM threaded

hole), bridge the gap using the conduit adapter (sold separately). When connecting
the conduit adapter and the pipe, wrap Teflon tape around the tip of the pipe
to prevent water getting in as necessary, clear any debris, and firmly tighten. If
necessary, apply silicon sealant to seal it tightly after attaching the pipe.

• Firmly fix the dome case to the main unit of the camera with the lock screws, taking

care not to pinch cables between the main unit and dome case.

Precautions for Use

Warning

• If you discover defective conditions such as smoke, strange sounds, heat or strange odors,

immediately stop using the camera and contact your nearest dealer.

Fire or electric shock may result from continued use of the product.

• If thunder starts, stop installation or inspection etc. and do not touch the camera or continue

connecting the cable.

• Do not disassemble or modify the camera.
• Do not damage the connecting cable.
• Do not insert foreign objects such as water or metal into the camera.
• Do not use flammable sprays near the camera.
• Do not leave LAN cables, external power supply, or the power connector for the AC adapter (

sold

separately

) connected when the camera is not in use for long periods.

• Do not use flammable solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner or benzine when cleaning the camera.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
