1 PT-602CZ Camera Installation
1.3
Install the camera in a location that will allow access for regular periodic cleaning (fresh water rinse),
inspection of mounting integrity and mechanical soundness, and preventative maintenance. Ensure
the camera and the camera mount are routinely inspected on a periodic basis.
The camera will require connections for power, communications (IP Ethernet, serial), and video
(analog, IP digital).
• Install all cameras with an easily accessible Ethernet connection to support future software
updates.
• Ensure that cable distances do not exceed the specifications and that cables adhere to all local
and industry standards, codes, and best practices.
1.3.1
Connect the power, video, serial, and Ethernet connections and confirm that the video is displayed on
a monitor when the power is turned on. Confirm the camera can be controlled by moving it (pan/tilt).
For configuration and basic setup information using the onboard web server, refer to
and Configuration, pg.
1.3.2
When selecting a mounting location for the PT-602CZ camera, consider cable lengths and cable
routing. Ensure the cables are long enough given the proposed mounting locations and cable routing
requirements.
Use cables that have sufficient dimensions to ensure safety (for power cables) and adequate signal
strength (for video and communications).
1.4
Caution!
Always use stainless steel washers on the four camera base mounting holes, especially in locations
where the camera base is exposed to a damp or salt environment. Ensure that the camera base is
electrically isolated and properly grounded when it is secured to its mount. Contact between the
stainless steel fasteners and any bare aluminum may cause galvanic corrosion which will shorten
the life of the installation and may void the camera warranty. Following this procedure is critical to
maintaining the warranty on your PT-602CZ product.
Galvanic isolation is critical in preventing corrosion. Proper installation of galvanic isolation pad and
washers is important for long product life.
There are two critical steps related to proper galvanic isolation camera mounting:
• Installation of galvanic isolation kit
• Proper grounding (bonding) to earth ground
