Camera Installation
The power cable supplied by the installer must use wires that are sufficient size gauge for the supply
voltage and length of the cable run, to ensure adequate current carrying capacity (18 AWG
recommended for most installations). Always follow local building/safety codes.
Note
The power connector plug may be removed for cable installation. After the plug is reattached to the
board, re-tighten the screw terminals.
The camera itself does not have an on/off switch. Generally the FC-Series ID camera may be
connected to a circuit breaker and the circuit breaker will be used to apply or remove power to the
camera. If power is supplied to it, the camera will be powered on and operating.

GPIO Connections
The terminal plug supplied for GPIO connections may
be either a fast connect, spring-cage and pierce
contact or a push-in spring contact.
The spring-cage and pierce contact accepts 22 AWG
to 24 AWG, stranded conductors with a 1.6 mm
maximum diameter including insulation. Do not strip
insulation from conductors.
The push-in spring contact accepts 20 - 24 AWG
conductors. Strip conductor ends to 6 mm.
Input Signal
—The camera can receive an external input signal on accessory connector J5 pins 4
and 5 when these pins are connected by an external switch closure. Pin 5 is connected to the
camera’s in5V power supply and must not be directly connected to chassis ground. Pin 4 is
connected to the internal digital ground.
While protection for static discharge has been placed on these pins, care should be used in making
connections to the pins to avoid connections to other voltages or power sources outside the camera.
Output Signal
—The camera can provide a contact closure output on accessory connector J5 pins 2
and 3 when an external voltage is supplied to these pins. When open the resistance between pins 2
and 3 is greater than 100 K
ohm
. When closed the resistance between pins 2 and 3 is less than 200
ohm. The maximum recommended peak voltage between the pins is 6 volts. The maximum
recommended current allowed between the pins is 30 mA (0.03 A).
The terminal connector for power connections will accept 16 AWG to 24 AWG wire size.
