POWER CONNECTION
Use the formula below to calculate the power cord and power supply.
“L”, “R”, “VA”, “I” shall satisfy the inequality below.
10.8 V DC
≤ VA - 2 (R x I x L) ≤ 16 V DC
L = Cord length (m or ft)
R = Resistance of copper wire (Ω/m or Ω/ft}
VA = DC output voltage of power supply unit
I = DC current consumption (A). Refer to Specifications on page 52.
NOTE: When using a 12 V DC power supply, the heater is unavailable.
WARNINGS:
• The following connections should be made by qualified service personnel or system installers
in accordance with NEC 725-51.
• Be sure to connect the GND (grounding) lead of the camera and grounding terminal of the
power supply when using a 24 V AC power source.
• Shrinking the cable-entry seal is a onetime procedure. Do not shrink the cable-entry seal until
the unit is functioning.
• Only connect to a 24 V AC or 12 V DC Class 2 power supply.
• The voltage supplied to the camera should be as follows:
– 24 V AC: Between 19.5 V AC and 28 V AC
– 12 V DC: Between 10.8 V DC and 16 V DC
