  • Page 6: Using The Remote Controller

    Using the Remote Controller Beam angle selectors Only function in VR806 series 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.
  • Page 7 Installation Beam angle adjust: You must first survey the installation site and determine the illumination distance. VR-486 series Use a coin or flat blade screwdriver to open the waterproof cover at the back of the illuminator. 35-Kg-cm Tips: You may forget your current beam angle configuration. In this case, turn many full circles clockwise until the rotation resistance is felt (returns to the widest angle, reaches its mechanical stops), and then turn the selector counter-clockwise according to the angle listed on the tables. Each full...
  • Page 8 The factory default for the beam angle selector is always at the Widest angle. When you turn the selector many rounds to its widest or the narrowest position, a rotation resistance can be felt. That means the mechanical stop is reached, and you should not use more force. Refer to the tables below for the configurable IR light beam angles and the number of full circles needed to change to the preferred beam angles. Each full circle corresponds to a preset beam angle.

  • Page 14 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.

    IV Installation Install the wall-mount bracket to a preferred location at your installation site. Drill mounting holes and a cable routing hole (if preferred) on a wall. Install the bracket. Prepare and route the wiring, Ethernet and 24V power source. Install the IR illuminator to the bottom of the housing. Attach the included grip stricker to the U bracket.
  • Page 17 Secure the U bracket to the IR illuminator using the included hex screws. Flip the housing over and place it on a clean, stable surface. Secure the IR illuminator to the bottom of the housing using the included wrench and a hex socket screw.
  • Page 18 You can turn the IR illuminator so that its flat side is parallel with the housing, and that you can turn the assembly over and work on the inside of the housing. Put a foam pad below before you work on the wiring to avoid scratching the surface. Prepare power wires, a ground wire, and a CAT5e Ethernet cable. Pass them through the M16 waterproof connectors under the housing. Ethernet cable Ø4 ~ 6.5mm Power wires &...
  • Page 19 BR: brown solid When done, tighten up and install the waterproof connectors. Assemble the camera components, e.g., the CS ring and lens module. Secure the mounting plate to the bottom of the camera (the label side) using the included screw. There is a plastic mount pad in the package. You do not need the mounting pad using the AETEK camera.
