Preparation Procedure Set the camera in the following procedure. Step 1 Connection and Installation Firstly, make a hole on the ceiling and connect the power cable, LAN cable, alarm and others to the terminal of the ceiling-mounting bracket of this unit. Then, install the camera to a Ceiling Mount Fix a wire securely for preventing ☞ Page 14 the camera from falling off. Step 2 Setting the Network Install the software [V.Networks Controller], and set the network for the PC and VN-C655.
Preparations (Step 1 Connection and Installation) Cable Connections Caution In order to prevent foreign objects from entering inside the ceilingn mount be sure to attach the hemispherical cover correctly. The penetration of foreign objects into the Ceiling Mount may cause a malfunction and smoking or in the worst case a fire ignition. 1. Making the hole Make a hole for passing the connection cables through the inner side of the ceiling. Make a 90 mm (3.5 inches) diameter hole in the ceiling.
3 Connecting the Power Cord Connect the camera to DC 18 V. Connect the supplied AC adaptor to the DC 18 V input terminal on the terminal stand. For a system with multiple VN-C655s In a system where more than one VN-C655 are used, turn on the power for a VN-C655 first and then setting the camera (☞Page 28, Setting the IP Adress for VN-C655 with V.Networks Setup tool). Only then turn on the power for a second one and go on to same setting. Repeat the procedure for the other cameras.
Preparations (Step 1 Connection and Installation) Cable Connections (continued) 4. Connecting Coaxial cable Connecting a RG-59 coaxial cable. Note Fold back the mesh wires and secure them with insulation tape in order to prevent them from becoming loose and thus causing a short circuit. Polyethylene Mesh wires Conductor wire 7 (5) 17 (12) Insulation tape If the cable is extended, the signal attenuation is increased, the resolution drops and the noise increases.
5. Connecting a LAN Cable Connect the camera to a hub or a PC by using a LAN cable. • For hub connection Use a straight cable. • For PC connection Use a cross-over cable. Caution There are a few types of LAN board for which a cross-over cable cannot be used. Check the specifications of the LAN board to be used before performing connection. Note For 100 BASE-TX, use a CAT-5 cable. 17 VN-C655(reed me)_p2-29 17 04.9.
Preparations (Step 1 Connection and Installation) Cable Connections (continued) 6. Connecting the Alarm I/O Terminals Connect to the equipment with alarm input terminal using the alarm signal cable. • The connector can be released by loosening the screws on the two sides as shown in the figure. • Strip the coating of each cable by about 4 mm before inserting it. After connecting all of the cables, turn the screws on the side to fasten the connectors.
8. Alarm Output Terminal This terminal is for connecting with an alarm annunciator such as an indicator, a lamp or a buzzer. Annunciator Output Requirements Connection Example VN-C655 Output terminal Grounding terminal (Alarm output equivalent circuit) DC 12 V R IN GND • Equivalent to NPN open collector output (The output logic is set with [V.Networks Setup Tool.]) • Allowed applied voltage: DC 12 V max. • Allowed input current: 50 mA • Momentary output: 1 to 5000 ms (The duration is set with [V.
Preparations (Step 1 Connection and Installation) Attaching the Ceiling Mount 1. Attaching a safety wire. Attach a safety wire to the Ceiling Mount and to the ceiling slab or channel to prevent the unit from being able to fall to the floor. First attach the safety wire to the Ceiling Mount by passing the wire through the safety wire hole (see the diagram on the left).
Attaching the Camera 1. Attach the drop prevention wire. Attach Drop Prevention Wire to this hook. Drop Prevention Wire As shown in the diagram, take the drop prevention wire from the camera and attach it to the hook on the Ceiling Mount. Be sure to connect the drop prevention wire. Otherwise, the camera will not fit properly to the Ceiling Mount. If they are engaged forcibly, they may be damaged. Caution • Do not connect cameras other than VNC655. This may cause the equipment to malfunction.
Preparations (Step 1 Connection and Installation) Attaching the Camera (continued) Camera clamping bracket 4. Rotate the camera. Make sure that the camera is horizontal, then turn the camera clockwise until it stops. Ensure that the camera-clamping bracket is in line with the locking screw of the Ceiling Mount. Rotate the camera clockwise. Lock screw 5. Tighten the locking screw. Tighten the lock screw using a Phillips screwdriver.
