Location Considerations

The camera will require connections for power, communications (IP Ethernet, and/or RS232/
RS422}, and video.
Install all cameras with an easily accessible Ethernet connection to support future software
upgrades.
Refer to paragraph 1.7 "Electrical Connections and Schematics" on page 1-4 for interconnect
diagrams showing system configurations.
Ensure that cable distances do not exceed the Referenced Standard specifications and adhere
to all local and Industry Standards, Codes, and Best Practices.

Camera Mounting

F-Series cameras must be mounted upright on top of the mounting surface, with the base
below the camera. The unit should not be hung upside down.
The F-Series camera can be secured to the mount with three to five 1/4-20 bolts or studs as
shown below.
Not to scale
Once the mounting location has been selected, verify both sides of the mounting surface are
accessible.
If the camera is to be mounted on a pole or tower or other hard-to-reach location, connect
and operate the camera as a bench test at ground level prior to mounting the camera in its
final location.
Use a thread locking compound such as Loctite 242 or equivalent with all metal to metal
threaded connections.
