In such a circumstance, do not attempt to handle conductors before removing power. 6. The ToughCam-1000™ lens is made with hardened glass. The user should take necessary precautions when handling the system. If excessive, direct force is induced, the glass may break, causing system failure and potential injury to the user.
5. Do not attempt to disassemble ToughCam-1000™ in order to access internal components. Consult ExcelSense for technical support as required. 6. Never face the ToughCam-1000™ directly towards the sun or any bright or reflective light, which may cause smear on the picture and possible damage to the CCD.

This configuration allows any shielded Cat-5e cable to be used to power and communicate with the ToughCam-1000™ camera. No custom cabling is required to be routed, as the Cat-5e cable plugs into the custom short adapter cable for plug and play functionality.
IP camera terminations within the ToughEye-1700™ cabling. However, it is important to note that the ToughCam-1000™ does not accept a DC input supply, as it solely relies on PoE power (see Powering The ToughCam™). The recommended installation is shown below.
● Connect the main cable’s RJ45 connector into the PSE’s PoE output port, and route the main cable to the ToughCam-1000™ camera. If an extension cable is used, it should be connected in-line between the main cable and the camera.
PoE Power Source When powering the device using the PoE protocol, an appropriate shielded Cat-5e or better cabling solution is required (see Network Configurations A-1 and A-2). Aside from selecting the correct cabling, it is critical to ensure the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is IEEE 802.3af compliant.
