Please keep this user’s manual well for future reference.
Important Safeguards and Warnings
Electrical safety
All installation and operation should conform to your local electrical safety codes.
The power source shall conform to the requirement of the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV)
standard, and supply power with rated voltage which conforms to Limited power Source
requirement according IEC60950-1. Please note that the power supply requirement is subject to
the device label.
Make sure the power supply is correct before operating the device.
A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring
Prevent the power cable from being trampled or pressed, especially the plug, power socket and the
junction extruded from the device.
We assume no liability or responsibility for all the fires or electrical shock caused by improper
handling or installation.
Environment
Do not aim the device at strong light to focus, such as lamp light and sun light, otherwise it might
cause over brightness or light marks, which are not the device malfunction, and affect the longevity
of Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS).
Do not place the device in a damp or dusty environment, extremely hot or cold temperatures, or the
locations with strong electromagnetic radiation or unstable lighting.
Keep the camera away from water or other liquid to avoid damages to the internal components.
Keep the indoor device away from rain or damp to avoid fire or lightning.
Keep sound ventilation to avoid heat accumulation.
Transport, use and store the device within the range of allowed humidity and temperature.
Heavy stress, violent vibration or water splash are not allowed during transportation, storage and
installation.
Pack the device with standard factory packaging or the equivalent material when transporting the
device.
The device needs to be installed in the location where professional staff can cover (professionals
need to know the attentions of using the device), non-professionals are not allowed to enter device
installation area when the device is operating normally, which may cause accidental damage.
ii
Operation and Daily Maintenance
Do not directly touch the heat dissipation component of the device to avoid scald.
Do not dismantle the device because there is no component that can be fixed by users themselves.
Otherwise, it might cause water leakage or bad image due to unprofessional dismantling.
Please contact after-sale service to replace desiccant when it becomes green. (The desiccant is
not provided by default)
It is recommended to use the device together with lightning arrester to improve lightning protection
effect.
It is recommended to get the grounding holes to be grounded to enhance the reliability of the
device.
Do not directly touch the optic component CCD or CMOS. You can use the air blower to blow away
the dust or dirt on the lens surface. Please use a dry cloth wetted by alcohol to wipe away the dust
gently if necessary.
Use the dry soft cloth to clean the device. If the dust is difficult to be removed, please wipe it away
with a clean cloth wetted slightly by the mild detergent, and then use the dry cloth to clean the
device. Do not use volatile solvents like alcohol, benzene, thinner, or strong detergent with
abrasiveness, otherwise it will damage the surface coating or reduce the working performance of
the device.
When installing or using the device, do not directly touch or wipe the surface of the dome cover
because it is an optical device. If stained with dirt, use oil-free soft brush or air blower to gently
wipe it away. If stained with grease or fingerprint, use soft cloth to gently wipe the water drop or oil
and wait till it is dry, and then use oil-free cotton cloth or lens cleaning paper soaked with alcohol or
detergent to wipe from the lens center outward till it is clean.
We are not liable for any problems caused by unauthorized modification or attempted repair.
The dome cover is a kind of optical component, please do not touch or wipe the cover surface
during installation and application, it may stain dust, grease or fingerprint, you can use absorbent
cotton to dip some diethyl ether or use soft cloth to dip some water and then wipe gently. You can
also use air gun to remove the dust if the cover is stained with dust.
Warnings
