Moonglow Technologies ASC-N1 Manual

Introduction:

Congratulations on your purchase of an All Sky Cam! Please read the following important instructions before using the product.
Cautions & Warnings:
Do not operate the camera without the glass dome. Removal of the glass dome may result in breakage of the glass. Only
operate the camera with the glass dome oriented upwards, the camera is not water-resistant in any other orientation. Operation on a
moving vehicle is not recommended, the glass dome is not designed to withstand impact from moving objects or debris. Continuous
display on a CRT-style monitor may cause image burn-in damage to the monitor over time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the camera, there are no user-serviceable components inside. The
power supply may only be operated indoors. Use the included weather sealant around outdoor cable connections to reduce the risk of
shock or damage to the equipment.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference
at his own expense.

Installation:

For best results, mount the All Sky Cam above the roofline and any nearby obstacles. Please orient the camera so
that the side with an engraved 'N' points north. This allows easy understanding when viewing the screen by orienting north up, east
to the left, west to the right, and south to the bottom. The 'N' side is also the side with the two large set screws.
The All Sky Camera may be easily mounted with any number of methods. The preferred mounting is a standard satellite TV 1-
5/8" (40mm) J-pipe mount, available from your local satellite TV installer, Radio Shack, or other supplier. Some models include poles
up to 38" long, allowing it to reach far above a roofline or fencepost. Any of the poles, masts, wall mounts, roof mounts, eave mounts,
and tripods intended for satellite TV or off-air TV antenna applications are good choices for mounting the All Sky Cam.
An alternative way to mount is to employ a sturdy L bracket purchased from a hardware store, screwed into a horizontal
surface with wood screws. For temporary mounting, it is also possible to screw a long wood screw through one of the 1/4-20 holes in
the side of the ASC and into a vertical surface.

Connection:

After establishing a mounting for the camera, pass the camera's wires through the pole (if applicable) and connect it to the
supplied extension cable. Then cable connections must then be wrapped with the included Coax-Seal weather stripping to prevent rain
or dew from shorting out the power and video signals. See the Coax-Seal envelope for instructions. The extension cable can then be
routed through the pole and into the building inside.
To connect the All Sky Cam to a television set, look on the back of the television for a yellow video input connector. It may
also be labelled as "Composite", "Video In", or "Video". Then set the TV's input selector to that input (see the TV's user manual for
instructions).
