Warnings and Cautions 
Please review the following warnings and cautions 
before you begin installation or service. 
Warnings 
WARNING! Always use proper lift and 
safety equipment for the location and 
type of installation. Use the safety 
features of the lift equipment. 
WARNING! When connecting wires, 
ensure electrical power is not connected 
to the camera dome. The dome will 
move when power is applied. Also, 
ensure electrical power is not connected 
to nearby fixtures you might touch during 
installation. 
WARNING! The camera dome runs on 
24Vac. DO NOT connect line voltage to 
the dome. 
North America power requirements: In 
North America, this device is intended to 
be supplied from a Class 2 power 
supply. For outdoor installations, use 
Class 3 wiring techniques, liquid-tight 
conduit, or liquid-tight pipe. 
This installation should be made by a 
qualified service person and should 
conform to all local codes. 
WARNING! DO NOT install this housing 
where combustible or explosive products 
are stored or used. 
WARNING! EU power requirements: 
This product runs on 24Vac. In the EU, it 
is intended to be powered from a Limited 
Power Source. A limited power source is 
a certified source of SELV, and if inher-
ently limited, with 8 amps maximum 
output current, and a maximum of 100VA 
available; or if not inherently limited, 
fused with a maximum value of 3.3 
Amps, meeting section 2.11 of IEC950, 
and a maximum of 250VA available. The 
power supply can be obtained through 
American Dynamics or through another 
source where the provider can furnish 
the verification. This is required to assure 
electrical safety in the product. 
Cautions 
Water leaks, even small ones, can 
increase humidity inside the outdoor 
housing. To help eliminate humidity, 
follow all instructions explicitly and 
also the following cautions: 
-  DO NOT use over seals such as 
RTV and silicone caulks. 
-  Ensure fans spin when power is 
on.
