1  Welcome 

This manual offers reference material and general information about the basic operation, 

maintenance, and troubleshooting of the Dahua Multi-Sensor Panoramic Camera. Read, follow, and 

retain the following safety instructions. Heed all warning on the unit and in the operating instructions 

before operating the unit. Keep this guide for future reference. 

1.1  Important Safeguards and Warnings  

Electrical safety 

 

Install the unit in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and in accordance with 

applicable local codes.  

 

All installation and operation must conform to your local electrical safety codes.  

 

Do not overload outlets and extension cords, which may cause fire or electrical shock. 

 

Do not place the camera near or in a place where the camera may contact overhead power lines, 

power circuits, or electrical lights. 

 

Ensure power conforms to SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and that the limited power source is 

rated AC 24V as specified in IEC60950-1. (Power supply requirement is subject to the device 

label). 

 

All input/output ports are SELV circuits. Ensure that SELV circuits are connected only to other 

SELV circuits.  

 

Ground the unit using the ground connection of the power supply to protect the unit from damage, 

especially in damp environments. 

 

Protect the plug and power cord from foot traffic, being pinched, and its exit from the unit. 

 

Units with or without an ON/OFF switch have power supplied to the unit whenever the power 

cord is inserted into the power source; however, the unit is operational only when the ON/OFF 

switch is in the ON position. The power cord is the main power disconnect device for switching 

off the voltage for all units.  

 

Operate the unit only from the type of power source indicated on the label. Before proceeding, 

disconnect the power from the cable to be installed into the unit.  

  For external power supplied units, use only the recommended or approved power supplies. 

  Limited power sources must comply with EN 60950. Substitutions may damage the unit or 

cause fire or shock. 

  For 24 VAC units, voltage applied to the unit’s input power should not exceed ±25%. User-

supplied wiring must comply with local codes (Class 2 power levels). Do not ground the 

supply at the terminals or at the unit’s power supply terminal.  

  Contact the local dealer or the power company to verify the correct power supply.  

 

Do not supply power via the Ethernet connection (PoE) when power is already supplied via the 

power connector.  

 

Do not attempt to service the unit. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous 

voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
