Hardware Manual

Safety and Compliance Information

Installation and removal of the unit and its accessories must be carried out by qualified

personnel. You must read all of the Safety Instructions supplied with your equipment before

installation and operation.

Installation

 This device is a class A product and may cause radio interference. Take measures if

necessary.

 Make sure the camera operates in an environment where the temperature and humidity

meet requirements. Keep the camera from excessive pressure, vibration, moisture, dust,

and intensive electromagnetic radiation.

 Use a power adapter or a PoE device that meets requirements. Otherwise, the device may

be damaged.

 Make sure the length of the power cable between the power adapter and the camera is not

too long, otherwise the voltage of the camera is lowered, causing the camera to work

abnormally. If it is required to lengthen the power cable, lengthen the cable between the

power adapter and the mains.

 Do not hold the tail cable by hand for weight bearing. Otherwise, the cable connector of the

camera could be loosened.

 Do not cut the tail cable. Exposed tail cables may cause short circuit and damage the

camera.

 When connecting to an external interface, use an existing connection terminal, and ensure

that the cable terminal (latch or clamp) is in good condition and properly fastened. Ensure

that the cable is not tense during mounting, with a proper margin reserved to avoid poor

port contact or loosening caused by shock or shake.

 The end of the tail cable must be kept under good protection. Take waterproof measures to

protect the tail cable.

 During the process of transportation, special attention is required for the protection of the

transparent dome cover to prevent friction, scratch and contamination, etc. In order to

keep the cover clean, do not remove the protective film on the cover during mounting. After

mounting is finished, remove the film before the device is powered on.

 Contact professionals for maintenance information. Do not attempt to dismantle the device

by yourself. We shall not assume any responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized

repair or maintenance.

Hardware Manual

Maintenance

 If there is dust on the front glass surface, remove the dust gently using an oil-free brush or

a rubber dust blowing ball.

 If there is grease or a dust stain on the front glass surface, clean the glass surface gently

from the center outward using anti-static gloves or an oil-free cloth. If the grease or the

stain still cannot be removed, use anti-static gloves or an oil-free cloth dipped with

detergent and clean the glass surface gently until it is removed.

 Do not use organic solvents, such as benzene or ethanol when cleaning the transparent

dome cover.

 Never look at the transmit laser while the power is on. Never look

directly at the fiber ports and the fiber cable ends when they are

powered on.

 Use of controls or adjustments to the performance or procedures

other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser

emissions.

Warnings: Serious injury or death may occur if any of the warnings are neglected.

Cautions: Injury or equipment damage may occur if any of the cautions are neglected.

Warnings

 For device with this sticker, this device is intended for installation in a restricted access

location, access can only be gained by service persons or by users who

have been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the

location and about any precautions that shall be taken.

 Proper configuration of all passwords and other security settings is the responsibility of

the installer and/or end-user.

 In the use of the product, you must be in strict compliance with the electrical safety

regulations of the nation and region. Please refer to technical specifications for

detailed information.

 Input voltage should meet both the SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and the Limited

Power Source with 12 VDC according to the IEC60950-1 standard. Please refer to

technical specifications for detailed information.

 Do not connect several devices to one power adapter as adapter overload may cause

over-heating or a fire hazard.

 Please make sure that the plug is firmly connected to the power socket. When the

product is mounted on wall or ceiling, the device shall be firmly fixed.

 If smoke, odor or noise rise from the device, turn off the power at once and unplug the

power cable, and then please contact the service center.

Hardware Manual

Cautions

 Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the camera.

 Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.

 Do not touch sensor modules with fingers. If cleaning is necessary, use clean cloth

with a bit of ethanol and wipe it gently. If the camera will not be used for an extended

period, please replace the lens cap to protect the sensor from dirt.

 Do not aim the camera at the sun or extra bright places. Blooming or smearing may

occur otherwise (which is not a malfunction), and affect the endurance of sensor at the

same time.

 The sensor may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any laser equipment is in

using, make sure that the surface of sensor will not be exposed to the laser beam.

 Do not place the camera in extremely hot, cold (the operating temperature shall be-30°

C to +60° C, or -40° C to +60° C if the camera model has an "H" in its suffix), dusty or

damp locations, and do not expose it to high electromagnetic radiation.

 To avoid heat accumulation, good ventilation is required for operating environment.

 Keep the camera away from liquid while in use.

 While in delivery, the camera shall be packed in its original packing, or packing of the

same texture.

 Regular part replacement: a few parts (e.g. electrolytic capacitor) of the equipment

shall be replaced regularly according to their average enduring time. The average time

varies because of differences between operating environment and using history, so

regular checking is recommended for all the users. Please contact with your dealer for

more details.

 Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in hazard of explosion. Replace

with the same or equivalent type only. Dispose of used batteries according to the

instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.

 If the product does not work properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest service

center. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. (We shall not assume any

responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized repair or maintenance.)

Hardware Manual

Waterproof the RJ-45 Connector

The camera and the pre-installed network cable, “pigtail”, are resistant to salt, water, weak acid,

alcohol, oil, grease and other common solvents. If the camera will be installed indoors, simply

connect the network side cable to the camera Ethernet port.

However, if the camera will be installed outdoors, ensure that the cable connections are

protected from different environmental factors. Use the bundled cable gland to protect the

Ethernet connection and use a waterproof tape to protect other cable connections.

DISCLAIMER: ACTi will not be responsible for camera damage caused by water entering

the cable connections.

Using the Cable Gland

This section describes how to waterproof the cable-out or “pigtail” of the camera using the

bundled cable gland. Before connection, prepare an exterior-grade Ethernet cable with RJ-45

connector.

Perform the following to waterproof the “pigtail” using the cable gland:

1. Attach the washer to the Ethernet connector of the camera.

2. Detach the clamping nut and sealing insert from the gland body:

3. Insert the clamping nut into the Ethernet cable.

4. Insert the sealing insert through the Ethernet cable.

5. Insert the cable through the gland body.

6. Push the sealing insert into the gland body.

Hardware Manual

7. Connect the RJ-45 connector to the camera connector.

8. Attach the gland body to the camera connector.

9. Attach the clamping nut to the gland body to complete the cable solution.

NOTE: Make sure the clamping nut is tightly attached to the cable gland body and the

sealing insert is squeezed tightly.
