CAUTIONS
Caution!
This guide uses the term
Caution!
to indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if
not avoided, may result in bodily harm or injury, damage to the camera, or other property damage.
Protect Your Investment
The enclosure of the PTZ-35 MS and PTZ-50 MS visible camera is pressurized with nitrogen to
eliminate fogging of the camera lens due to sudden changes in temperature.
The camera should be installed by a trained professional according to local codes and industry-
standard safe practices.
Proper ESD protocol should be followed while working with the unit.
Do not disassemble the PTZ-35 MS and PTZ-50 MS enclosures. Disassembly can cause
permanent damage and will void the warranty.
Operating the PTZ-35 MS or PTZ-50 MS outside of its specified operating temperature range or
voltage range can cause permanent damage and will void the warranty.
The camera is a precision optical instrument and should not be exposed to excessive shock or
vibration.
When not in use, replace the lens cap over the objective lens. When the lens cap is not in place,
avoid pointing the system directly at extremely high-intensity radiation sources, such as the sun,
lasers, arc welders, etc. This warning applies whether or not the system is powered.
Great care should be used with your camera’s optics. They are delicate and can be damaged by
improper cleaning. Only clean the lens in the manner described in section 6.0
