Precautions for installation
Panasonic assumes no responsibility for injuries or property damage resulting from failures arising out of improper
installation or operation inconsistent with this documentation.
The installation should comply with local electrical
code.
Before start the installation/connection, check and prepare
the required devices and cables. Before starting the con-
nection, turn the power of the devices including the camera
and the PC off.
Refer installation work to the dealer. Failure to
observe this may cause fire, electric shock, injury, or
damage to the product.
In order to prevent injury, the product must be
securely mounted to a ceiling according to installation
instruction.
Installation place
Salt damage prevention is applied to this product. However,
it is not completely anti-corrosive. Therefore, consider a
place for installation where direct splash of seawater can be
avoided. Especially when installing this product in a sea-
shore area or a place where a snow-melting agent is
applied, and also where rainwater is avoided, it is recom-
mended to regularly clean and rinse off salt with water. In
case of installing this product in a seashore area, regularly
check the status of equipment. (Replace the parts as
required.)
Power supply
Use a power supply device equipped with the ON-OFF
switch for servicing. When the power cord of the product is
connected to the power supply device, the power will be
supplied to the product. Make sure that the power cable is
not connected to the main power supply.
Installation area for this product
Consult the dealer about the installation area to select a
strong ceiling area.
• The screws that secure this product are not supplied.
Considering the material and strength of the area where
the product is to be installed, prepare the screws
according to the total weight of the camera and periph-
eral environment. Use the corrosion-resistant screws, or
apply caulking to the screws to be used for fixing the
framework and the adapter box.
Recommended screw: M10 x 4 pcs.
Minimum pull-out strength (per 1 pc.): 1411 N {317 lbf}
• Do not mount the product on a plaster board or a
wooden section because they are too weak. If the prod-
uct is unavoidably mounted on such a section, the sec-
tion shall be sufficiently reinforced.
Mounting method for this product
This product is designed to be used as a pendant mount
camera. If the product is mounted on a desktop or at a
slant, it may not work correctly and its lifetime may be
shortened.
Protection from lightning
When cables are used outdoors, there is a chance that they
may be affected by lightning. In this case, install a lightning
arrester close to the camera to prevent it from being
affected by lightning, and keep the length of the network
cable between the lightning arrester and the camera as
short as possible.
Do not place this product in the following places:
• Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a
swimming pool
• Locations subject to moisture or oil smoke such as a
kitchen
• Locations that have a specific environment that is sub-
ject to an inflammable atmosphere or solvents
• Locations where radiation, X-ray, intense radio wave, or
strong magnetism is produced
• On the sea or locations where direct seawater splashes,
and where corrosive gas may be produced
• Locations subject to sulfur gas, such as a hot spring
area
• Locations where the temperature is not within the spec-
ified range (–50 °C to +55 °C {–58 °F to 131 °F})
• Locations subject to vibrations, such as on vehicles,
marine vessels, or above product lines (This product is
not designed for onvehicle use.)
• Locations subject to sudden changes in temperature,
such as near the outdoor unit of an air conditioner (In
case of installing the product in such locations, the
dome cover may become foggy or condensation may
be caused on the cover.)
Screw tightening
• The screws and bolts must be tightened with an appro-
priate tightening torque according to the material and
strength of the installation area.
• Do not use an impact driver. Use of an impact driver
may damage the screws or cause tightening exces-
sively.
• When a screw is tightened, make the screw at a right
angle to the surface. After tightening the screws or
bolts, perform checks to ensure that the tightening is
sufficient enough so that there is no movement or
looseness.
The protection cover attached to the camera unit
shall be removed after completion of the installation.
(rain wash coating model)
Make sure to remove this product if it will no longer
be used.
Take notice of humidity.
Install the camera when the humidity is low. If this product is
installed during rainfall or at a high humidity, the inside may
be exposed to moisture and the dome cover may become
foggy.
Check before installation
Compatibility of devices is restricted. Before installation,
check the ratings and dimensions of the devices to be
used. Contact your dealer for details.
