  • Page 37: Protective Measures

    WARNING! When laying cables indoors and outdoors, the current regulations for cable laying, lightning and fire protection must always be observed. MOBOTIX cameras are protected against the effects of minor over voltages by a number of measures. However, these measures cannot prevent larger surge voltages from causing damage to the camera. When installing the cameras outdoors, special attention should therefore be paid to lightning protection and the associated dangers for the building and network infrastructure.

  • Page 38: Installing The Sensor Modules

    Mounting Installing the Sensor Modules Further information on how to avoid damage caused by lightning and over voltage is available from man- ufacturers of lightning and over voltage protection devices. Installing the Sensor Modules NOTE! Upon delivery, the sensor module sockets in the front plate are fitted with transport plugs 1.4.
  • Page 39 Mounting Installing the Sensor Modules  2. Remove the transport plugs: Gently pull the transport plugs out of the sensor module receptacles and pull the plugs from the sensor module cables. CAUTION! Cautiously pull the sensor module cables out of the housing until you feel the stop! Fig.
  • Page 40 The sensor module cables are numbered (small colored rings next to the connectors, see figure below). CAUTION! When attaching sensor modules, make sure that these rules are followed:   The MOBOTIXMOBOTIX M73 can be equipped with these types of modules:   A maximum of two optical modules can be used.  ...
  • Page 41 Mounting Installing the Sensor Modules  4. Properly connect the sensor module cables: Push the plug of each sensor module cable firmly into the connector at the back of the module until the connector is fully inserted into its seat. If this is not the case, again push the connector firmly into its seat until it doesn’t go in any further.
