Install the unit
●
Make sure that the installation surface can support at least four times the weight of
the unit in normal operating conditions. In case of excessive external stress
(vibration, strong winds or impact, for example), the equipment may need additional
means of protection.
●
Proper stainless-steel hardware (grade A4 or 316) should be carefully chosen to
fasten the unit
’s brackets to the surfaces. Use a suitable lubricant with (for example
Molykote P-40) between threaded connections to avoid fretting corrosion. Proper
tools should be used during the installation, in accordance to environmental
requirements.
●
Covers should be opened only by the manufacturer.
●
Electrical connections (such as plugs and cords) must be protected from potential
hazardous environmental factors (e.g. foot traffic, hitting objects).
●
Pointing the camera at the sun may damage it.
●
In case the camera is mounted outdoors, exposed to the heating effects of the sun, the
XCU camera sunshield must be used.
●
Complete the installation performing the camera connection referring to the manual
of the camera.
●
Carefully check the supply voltage marked on the label. An incorrect power supply
voltage may damage the unit. Do not overload the terminal connection, as it may
cause a fire or electrical shock hazard.
●
For 120 Vac / 230 Vac models: An all-pole mains switch with an opening distance
between the contacts at least 3 mm in each pole must be incorporated in the electrical
installation. The switch must be equipped with protection against the fault current
towards the ground (differential) and the overcurrent (magnetothermal, maximum 10 A).
●
Recommended for 120 Vac / 230 Vac
: 2 A Delayed Fuse T (Time delay) or equivalent
resettable devices such as magnetothermal.
●
Recommended for 24 Vac:
4 A Delayed Fuse T (Time delay) or equivalent resettable
devices such as magnetothermal.
These ratings include inrush current for startup or temporary overload. It must be very
quickly recognisable and readily accessible. Install a suitable overcurrent protection,
maximum 10 A.
●
Make sure that the unit case is properly earthed. The Protective Earth (PE) connection
is included in the 3p or 5p power connector. The minimum wire size is 0.75 mm
2
copper
stranded wire.
