Caution
In order to prevent the wide conversion lens from
falling, note the following:
• Entrust this task an experienced contractor or
installer to ensure the wide conversion lens does not
come loose and fall.
• Be sure that the lens is tightened securely, as far as it
will go and it does not fall.
• Do not use a wide conversion lens in an environment
where it is subject to vibration or shock.
• Check periodically, at least once a year, to ensure
that the connection has not loosened. If conditions
warrant, make this periodic check more frequently.
Installing the Camera in a High
Position
Using the supplied ceiling brackets, wire rope, and
screws, you can attach the camera to a ceiling or on a
shelf, etc. in a high position. You can also utilize an
existing junction box, etc. to attach the camera to a
ceiling.
When you install the camera, always install it on a level
ceiling or shelf, etc. If you have to install it on an incline,
make sure that the inclination is within ± 15 degrees, so
that the pan/tilt performance is guaranteed.
Caution
• When you attach the camera to a ceiling or shelf, etc.
in a high position, entrust the installation to an
experienced contractor or installer.
• Attach the camera to a ceiling or shelf, etc. firmly,
after making sure a ceiling, shelf, etc. and
attachment materials are strong enough to bear the
weight of the camera plus the ceiling brackets (more
than 40 kg (88 lb 3 oz)). If the ceiling or shelf, etc. is
not strong enough, the camera may fall and cause
serious injury.
Before installation
The connecting cables cannot be passed through the
ceiling bracket (A). A hole for the wiring is required in
the ceiling or shelf, etc. behind where the camera is to be
installed. When installing the camera on a ceiling, make
the required hole for the junction box in the ceiling.
When installing it on a shelf, etc. in a high position, a
hole with a diameter of 70 mm (2
for the protrusions of the ceiling bracket. Make these
holes after deciding the shooting direction.
