Precautions; Installation Instructions - Security-Center TV7320 Installation Instructions 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 I). The camera should be
mounted on the appropriate VdS bracket. When operating the camera without the appropriate
VdS protective housing, make sure that it is mounted outside the hand area. If the camera is
used outdoors, damage may occur as a result of dampness and temperatures outside the
prescribed range. Outdoors (and indoors in situations not corresponding to environment class I),
the camera should be installed in an 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.
The camera should be mounted on the appropriate VdS bracket. When operating the camera
without the appropriate VdS protective housing, make sure that it is mounted outside of the hand
area.
