
There must be a fuse or circuit breaker at the starting point of the electrical wiring
infrastructure.

For indoor installations, such as industrial applications, the CF-3211/CF-4221 camera must
be protected from hostile external elements (e.g. corrosive environment, metallic dust,
extreme temperatures, soot, moisture, over spray, etc.)

5.2 Power and Ethernet Cable Connection

Power Connection
Make sure the camera's power cable is properly connected. Refer to Table 1: CF-3211/CF-4221
Camera Connector Designations. If using Power over Ethernet (PoE), make sure Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) is available on the connected network. All electrical work must be performed in
accordance with local regulatory requirements.
Ethernet Cable Connection
A Cat 5 Ethernet cable is recommended for network connection. For best transmission quality, the
cable length should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the
CF-3211/CF-4221 camera and the other end of the cable to the network switch or PC.
Note:
An Ethernet crossover cable can be used when connecting the CF-3211/CF-4221
camera directly to the PC.
Check the status of the link indicator and activity indicator LEDs. If the LEDs are unlit, check the LAN
connection.
