Precautions; Installation Instructions - profiline TV7331 Installation Manual

6. Precautions

To reduce the risk of electric shock and to ensure that your guarantee remains valid, do not
remove cover (or back).
Avoid rain and humidity. Do not use the camera in damp places. This camera is designed for
indoor use only. If the camera becomes damp, the power supply must be switched off
immediately. The camera should then be checked by a service technician before being used
again.
Never point the camera towards the sun. Avoid exposing the camera without the lens to direct
sunshine, or pointing the lens directly into the sun. This can partly damage the CCD element and
create white dots on the monitor, a sign that CCD pixels are destroyed.
Operate the camera only within the specified temperature, humidity and power ranges.
Operating the camera outside the prescribed ranges can lead to reduced product life and early
malfunction. Greatly exceeding the specified operating ranges can also result in immediate
failure of the camera. All specifications can be found in the technical data.
Handle the camera with care. When installing the camera, make sure it is not subject to
excessive physical stress (shocks, vibrations, etc.). It should be installed in a place that is free
from shocks and vibration. Incorrect handling and transport can lead to damage to the camera.
Pull relief for video line and power supply. If you use the VdS bracket, ensure that the cables
leading to the camera are relieved of strain. Both the video line and the power cable must be
sufficiently secured. See the notes in the camera bracket instructions.

7. Installation instructions

This camera is designed for indoor use only (VdS environment class II). If the camera is used
outdoors, damage may occur as a result of dampness and temperatures outside the prescribed
range. Outdoors the camera should be installed in appropriate VdS protective housing so that it
is suitably protected against outside weather influences and remains in compliance with the
ambient operating conditions.
First-class video pictures are largely dependent on the illumination used. When using artificial
light, make sure you use lights with a colour spectrum as near as possible to daylight, since
colour distortion can otherwise occur with colour cameras.
The reason for poor picture quality is often bad-quality cabling. Make sure the connections are
properly crimped, avoid passive video signal distributors, and always choose the shortest possible
cable route between the camera and video processing device.
