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 subject to an inflammable atmo-
sphere or solvents
• Locations where a radiation, an X-ray, a
strong radio wave or a strong magnetic
field is generated
• Locations near coasts directly subjected to
sea breezes, or locations subject to corro-
sive gases such as from hot springs, vol-
canic regions, etc.
• Locations where the temperature is not
within the specified range (
☞
page 32)
• Locations subject to vibrations, such as on
vehicles, marine vessels, or above product
lines (This product is not designed for on-
vehicle use.)
• Locations subject to condensation as the
result of severe changes in temperature (In
case of installing the product in such loca-
tions, the front panel may become foggy or
condensation may be caused on the
panel.)
Sulfurization caused by rubber products
Do not place the product near rubber products
(packing, rubber feet, etc.) that contain sulfur.
There is a risk that sulfur components in rubber
products may cause electrical parts and termi-
nals, etc. to become sulfurized and corrode.
Screw tightening
• The screws and bolts must be tightened
with an appropriate 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 excessively.
• 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.
Heater unit
This product is equipped with an internal heater
unit for use in cold climates.
The heater unit turns on automatically when
the temperature inside the product drops
below +10 °C {50 °F}. When this product is
installed and operated in low temperatures
below –20 °C
{–4 °F}, it may require time to
start up since the camera will wait to be
warmed up internally by the internal heater
right after the power is turned on. Also, the
camera may not function properly, if it is
installed and operated in an environment where
the temperature is below –30 °C {–22 °F}. In
such a case, wait approximately 2 hours or
more until the camera is warmed up. Then,
turn on the power again. As the camera warms
up, snow or frost accumulated on the front
panel will melt. However, it may not be defrost-
ed from the panel depending on the ambient
temperature or weather condition.
When installing the product in cold cli-
mates
When using IR LED light in very cold regions, it
is recommended to use along with an AC
power supply or a tested PoE injector.
• The heater does not operate when using a
PoE + device.
Effects on images and image quality
Under the following conditions, image quality
may deteriorate or images may become diffi-
cult to see.
• When there are raindrops on the front
panel due to wind during rainfall.
• When there is snow on the front panel due
to wind during snowfall. (varies depending
on the amount and quality of snowfall).
• When the front panel is dirty due to dust in
the air or vehicle exhaust.
