2.3 Hardware Installation

Voltage Outside of Specified Range Can Damage the Camera
If the voltage of the input power to the camera is greater than +24 VDC
damage to the camera can result. If the voltage is less than 12 VDC, the
camera may operate erratically.
CAUTION
An Incorrect Plug Can Damage the 12-pin Connector
The plug on the cable that you attach to the camera's 12-pin connector must
have 12 pins. Use of a smaller plug, such as one with 10 pins or 8 pins, can
damage the pins in the camera's 12-pin connector.
CAUTION
To install the camera hardware, follow these steps:
1. Mount a C-mount lens on the camera. Make sure that the lens is screwed onto the lens
adapter as far as it will go.
2. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the network adapter in your PC and the other end of the
cable into the GigE connector on the camera.Plug the 12-pin output connector from your
power supply into the 12-pin connector on the camera.
3. Switch on the power supply.
4. The camera will start up and will go through an IP address assignment process. This takes
about one minute.
5. Once the IP assignment process is finished, the camera will be ready for use.
Note that if you have your system set so that a network connection icon appears in the system
tray, you may see a yellow exclamation point on the icon. You may also see a message about
limited connectivity as shown below. The message about limited connectivity is normal and this
situation will have no effect on the camera. You can ignore this message.
