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 5) of this manual as they contain important information.
After the installation, give the “Operating Instructions <Basics>” to the customer to save for future use.
Ensure that the installation work complies with the
technical standards governing electrical equipment.
The 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.
●
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).
Recommended clamping torque
M4: 1.47 N · m {15
kgf
· cm}
●
The withdrawal strength of the mounting location for
each screw must be at least 196 N {20
kgf
}.
●
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 90%
●
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 (the
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.
