Installation
1. Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all
local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire
suitable for the application.
2. Operating Temperature -40°C (-40°F) to +50°C (122°F)
3. Always use hardware e.g. screws, anchors, bolts, locking nuts etc. which are compatible with mounting
surface and of sufficient length and construction to insure a secure mount
4. Visit http://www.arecontvision.com/ and check to ensure your camera has the most current firmware.
5. For installations in harsh environments it is recommended to use all six mounting screws supplied with
your camera to create the best seal possible between your camera and the mounting surface using the
supplied gasket.
6. If using the NPT port always use Teflon tape around threads to ensure proper sealing.
7. After plugging in the network cable check that the indicator LED’s are indicating the desired conditions
(see LED Indicator table).
8. Use Arecont Vision software AV100 or AV200 located on the CD or available for download at our
website (www.arecontvision.com) for camera discovery and setup (see Instruction Manual located on
CD or available on our website).
9. Adjust the pan and tilt to obtain the desired field of view (see Focusing Instructions).
10. Lens may be further secured by tightening
the lens lock screw using Phillips head
screwdriver.
11. Install the Dome Cover by aligning the
captive fasteners with the mating
threaded holes on the camera housing.
12. When mounting the Dome Cover to the Camera
Housing ensure that the gasket is properly seating and not folded. Failure to
do so may result in water and dust ingress.
13. When mounting the Dome Cover to the Camera Housing do not over torque
the three captive fasteners as this will cause the threads to strip. Only hand
tighten these screws.
Best Practice Tips
 When mounting to vertical surface it is best to use the Wall Mount Accessory
(MCD-WMT) which includes a junction box.
 For outdoor use it is always best to properly seal the product using caulk
around the edges to prevent water ingress from mounting to porous or
uneven surfaces.
 Use Teflon tape on threaded interfaces.
 Use all 6 supplied mounting screws for best seal when mounting outdoors.
