Using the Remote Controller Beam angle selectors These buttons provide quadruple proportions of adjustable angles from the narrowest, 33%, 66%, to the widest. These angles vary with different models. When a beam angle is selected, you can use the fine-tune buttons below to tune for a desired effect. LED on/off 100% On/Off...
Installation IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that the illuminator should be installed at a position higher than 3 meters from the ground. U Bracket Positions & Orientation Use the included allen wrench to attach and adjust the U bracket to your needs at the installation site.

You must first survey the installation site and determine the illumination distance. Use the remote controller to adjust the beam angle. The factory default for the beam angle selector is always at the Widest angle. Refer to the tables below for the configurable IR light beam angles and the definitions of the remote controller buttons. Each button changes to a preset beam angle. Width Example: Angle Distance 40° 33° 27° 100% On/Off Status Dimming Zoom CA8018-1040 Button Beam angle Single mount Double mount Triple mount Distance(m) Width(m) Distance(m)

You will need to turn on both the partner camera and illuminator to precisely match the illuminated area with the camera's field of view. If necessary, adjust the beam angle again. Turn the illuminator toward the FOV of the partner camera, shift the tilt angle, and then tighten the screw and the rear cover to secure the illuminator.

Light sensor status output (Purple & Blue wires) This mode means that camera Day/Night mode switching is coordinated with and is triggered by the illuminator's light sensor via the DO(Digital output) connection (connected to the camera's DI pins). Users can configure the camera configuration to control the corresponding illuminator On/Off status. DO+: Purple= Open drain output, 45V Max. (current must be under 100mA) DO-: Bule = GND Light sensor status output 1. Open = Day 2. Short = Night (lower than 300 lux for IR to turn ON) Stand-alone illuminator mode This mode means that the illuminator's On/Off control is triggered by its light sensor, in the case, the default wiring is connecting the green wire with purple wire. Some cameras have related settings that need the inter-connection with the illuminator. For example, some cameras come with an IR cut filter that need to be turned off when entering night mode; or, automatically turn on the adjacent illuminator when entering night mode.
