Installation precautions
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for accident or damage during installation if procedure in this manual is not
followed.
To installation personnel
Read the “Installation Instructions” thoroughly and then perform the operation correctly and safely.
Also, always read the “Read this first!” (→ page 2) of this manual as they contain important information.
After the installation, give the “Installation Instructions” to the customer to save for future use.
Ensure that the installation work complies with
the technical standards governing electrical
equipment.
This unit is for indoor use only.
It cannot be used outdoors.
Avoid installation in a location where the unit will be exposed to
direct sunlight for extended periods or near a cooling or heating
appliance.
Otherwise, deformation, discoloration, malfunctioning and/or
problems in operation may result. Operate the unit where it will not
be splashed or sprayed by water.
Use the unit with an installation where the unit
is suspended from an overhead surface or with
a stand‑alone installation.
Do not use the unit on its side or tilted at an angle.
<NOTE>
Be absolutely sure to use the four bracket mounting screws (M4) for
mounting the mount bracket.
These are supplied with the unit. Do not use wood screws, nails, etc.
In the case of a concrete ceiling, secure the unit using anchor bolts
(for M4) or AY plug bolts (for M4).

• The withdrawal strength of the mounting location for each screw
must be at least 294 N {30 k

• When mounting the unit on a ceiling made of plasterboard, for
instance, if it is not strong enough to support its weight, either
reinforce the ceiling adequately or use the WV-Q105A direct ceiling
mount bracket, which is sold separately.
• When using a mount bracket which is sold separately, read the
handling instructions.
• Do not hold the camera head while undertaking the installation work.
Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

Concerning the installation location
Install the unit in a stable location which will not be susceptible to
shaking. If the unit is installed in a location which is susceptible to
shaking, this will cause the unit’s images to shake in turn.
Install the unit after conferring in detail with your dealer.
Install the unit on a ceiling that is strong enough (such as a concrete
ceiling).
If the unit is to be installed on a ceiling which is not strong enough,
reinforce the ceiling sufficiently first.
Do not install or use the unit in the following
kinds of locations.
• On walls (where the unit would be installed sideways)
• In locations (including places such as under the eaves of a
building) where the unit would be directly exposed to rain or water
• In locations such as kitchens where there are high concentrations
of steam and grease
• In outdoor locations or hot places where the temperature will
exceed 40 °C (104 °F)
• In cold locations where the temperature will drop below 0 °C
(32 °F)
• In locations where the humidity will exceed 85 %
• In locations where chemicals are used such as near swimming
pools
• At sea, in coastal areas or in locations where corrosive gases are
emitted
• In locations where radiation, X-rays, or strong radio waves or
magnetic fields are generated
• In locations where the unit would be subject to a great deal
of vibration such as on board a vehicle or ship (this unit is not
designed to be used in vehicles)
• In locations where the temperature is subject to sudden changes
such as near the air outlet of an air conditioner or near a door
which allows the outside air to come in
What to avoid to ensure that the unit will
perform stably over a prolonged period
• Using the unit for a prolonged period in a location with high
temperature and humidity levels will cause its parts to deteriorate
and shorten its service life.
• Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any air
directly toward the installation location.
Be absolutely sure to use the supplied brackets
and screws to install the camera.
• Do not mount the unit by employing any methods other than those
specified.
• Do not remodel the mounting bracket or mounting screws provided
with the unit.
