. The heater unit turns on automatically when
the temperature inside the product drops below +10 °C
{50 °F}. However, in an extremely low-temperature envi-
ronment below –30 °C {–22 °F}, snow and frost may not
be defrosted from the dome cover. When using the prod-
uct in cold climates, take notice of the ambient and inter-
nal temperatures of the product.
When this product is installed and operated in low tem-
peratures below –10 °C {14 °F}, normal images may not
be obtained immediately after startup. In such a case, wait
around 2 hours or more, and turn on the power again.
* When using this product at temperatures of –40 °C
{–40 °F} or below, use the power supply between 24 V
AC and 27 V AC.
Influence on images and their quality
This product has no wiper unit. Under the following condi-
tions, image quality may deteriorate or images may not be
viewed properly.
(1) Influence by rainfall
Due to the wind that accompanies rainfall, raindrops
may fall on the dome cover. That may make images
less viewable.
(2) Influence by snowfall
Due to the wind that accompanies snowfall, snow
may fall on the dome cover. That may partially make
surveillance images inviewable. (The extent of inview-
ability may vary depending on the amount of snowfall
and the quality of snow.)
(3) Influence by dust in the air or gas emission from vehi-
cles
Depending on the installation environment, dome
cover may be dirty due to dust in the air or gas emis-
sion from vehicles. That may degrade the quality of
images.
