3.3 Camera Connections
Connect the sealed System Cable to the connection on the camera base shown above. Then
attach the other end of the System Cable to the Break-Out Connector Cable. The far end of the
breakout cable must be protected from the weather.
Ground Connection
The 35x140MS cameras have grounding and surge protection to provide limited immunity from
high current transients that can occur in installations subject to electrical storms and/or nearby
lightning events.
In order to ensure CE and FCC compliance as well as to protect against
these high current events
, installers are required to provide an Earth connection to a specific
connection on the camera (the ground lug indicated above). Note: a ground connection to the
exterior of the camera (for example, to the mounting foot) is insufficient.
Caution!
The camera must be installed according to industry-standard practices and local
electrical codes. Failure to properly connect the enclosure and the electrical interface board to
ground could result in damage to the camera and possible bodily injury.
Input Power
The 35x140MS cameras operate on 24Volts (nominal) power, AC or DC. The camera has
separate power connections for the pan/tilt mechanism and the rest of the system. Provide
either 24+/-10% VAC rms (50/60Hz) or 24+/-10% VDC directly to the connections labeled
“PTPWR” and “SYSPWR” on the break-out cable.
