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.
In general, you should only have MOBOTIX cameras installed by certified specialist companies that are famil-
iar with the installation and safe operation of network devices and the underlying regulations for lightning
and fire protection as well as the current technology for preventing damage from surge voltages.
Notes on Cable Laying
n
Data cable: Only double-shielded CAT5 cable or better (S/STP) may be used as data cable for the Eth-
ernet interface.
NOTE! For outdoor use, special requirements apply for the cables to be used and the lightning pro-
tection.
n
Cable length: The individual cable sections must not exceed the maximum permissible lengths in
order to ensure perfect data transmission.
n
Avoidance of induction: Data cables may only be laid parallel to power or high-voltage lines if the pre-
scribed minimum distances are observed.
n
Only original MOBOTIX cables should be used to connect the sensor modules, patch cables and USB
cables in order to guarantee weather resistance according to IP66. The plugs supplied must be used if
additional cables are required (MxBus, audio).
Fire Protection
When laying cables for the power supply, the relevant country-specific regulations (e.g. VDE in Germany) and
the fire protection regulations valid at the installation site must be observed.
Lightning and Surge Protection
Measures should always be taken to protect the camera from electrical surge damage.
