Let the required picture quality and cable distance provide a guide in choosing the best cable type. For cables other than the approved Vicon types below, contact the manufacturers listed below. Note that “BC” refers to bare copper and “TC” refers to tinned copper.
Chapter 9 Twisted-Pair Cable Recommendations CAUTION: Careful selection of the proper cable is essential to obtain the best performance from this equipment. Vicon assumes no responsibility for poor performance when cables other than those recommended are installed. Materials Use a pure copper stranded conductor with or without a tin plating to obtain a low DC resistance. Do not use cable with either a steel or an aluminum stranded conductor because these do not transfer signals effectively for long distances.
Input Voltage 120 - 230 VAC ±10%, 50/60 Hz nominal. NOTE: Vicon requires the use of uninterruptible power supply systems (UPS) to prevent voltage fluctuations that can affect operation and cause damage to the equipment. Failure to comply with this violates the unit warranty.
