Network Camera Devices

Safety Information

Safety Rules
The supply connection, as well as the signal and sense leads, must be installed in
such a way that electromagnetic interference does not adversely affect device
functionality.
Automation equipment and devices must be covered over in such a way that adequate
protection or locking against unintentional actuation is provided (such as access
checks, password protection, etc.).
When devices are working in a network, these networks must be designed in such a
way that malfunctions in individual nodes can be detected and shut down.
Safety precautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and software, so that a
line break or other interruptions to signal transmission, such as via the bus interfaces,
do not cause undefined states or loss of data in the automation device.
Before connecting the device, make sure that the mains voltage and current type
specified on the type plate correspond to the mains voltage and current type at the site
of installation and that the current circuit used is sufficiently safe.
The maximum permissible supply voltage for Axis network camera devices is
20 V DC.
Appropriate use
The Axis network camera devices and their connected transducers may be used for
measurement tasks only and directly related control tasks. To ensure safe operation,
the transducer may only be used as specified in the operating manual. It is also
essential to follow the respective legal and safety regulations for the application
concerned during use. The same applies to the use of accessories.
Each time, before starting up the equipment, you must first run a project planning and
risk analysis that takes into account all the safety aspects of automation technology.
This particularly concerns personal and machine protection.
Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants where malfunctions could cause
major damage, loss of data or even personal injury. In the event of a fault, these
precautions establish safe operating conditions.
This can be done, for example, by mechanical interlocking, error signaling, limit value
switches, etc.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The Axis network camera devices comply with the state of the art and are safe to
operate. Inappropriate use and operation by untrained personnel can give rise to
remaining dangers.
Anyone responsible for installing, starting up, maintaining or repairing the equipment
needs to have read and understood the operating manual and in particular the safety
instructions.
