CAMERAS     VOLTAGE           CURRENT       POWER

        1              24 VAC/VDC     102mA              2.5W

        2              24 VAC/VDC      210mA             5W

        3              24 VAC/VDC      331mA             7.9W

        4              24 VAC/VDC      487mA             10.9W

Use the formula below to select the correct power supply for 
cameras connected in parallel (positive to positive, negative to 
negative):

Total current for a 24 VAC system:
TOTAL CURRENT = (202mA x total number of cameras)
                                  

Note: 202mA is camera plus power supply 

CABLE AND POWER GUIDELINES (Detailed info on Page 10)

This chart shows the proper current needed for power supplies for 
Q-View™ cameras. Use Class 2 Power only. Input voltage must 
be 24 VAC/VDC.

WIRING

1.  Make the proper connections to the incoming power. The RED 

     wire is POSITIVE (+), the BLACK wre is NEGATIVE (-) (For refer-

     ence purposes. Polarity is not important in this unit). The GREEN

     wire, labeled Ground, is GROUND for VAC or VDC connections. 

     NOTE: Connect green ground wire to earth ground (metal conduit,

                 metal stud, etc.)

2.  Attach the BNC connectors to the video in.

CAMERA ADJUSTMENTS

1. After completing installation of the housing, use the segmented

    arms to adjust each camera to the desired viewing location. 

2. Once camera adjustments are made, place the dome back into

    position to be sure cameras are not touching the inside of the 

    dome. If any do, adjust until they are clear. 

  

CAMERA FOCUSING

1

.

  Fine focusing:

     Fixed Lens:  Loosen the set screw in the lens mount and 
     manually rotate the lens until a clear picture is achieved. Once 
     the focus is set, retighten the set screw (Figure 2).
