INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONSWarning:• Select a place that is strong enough for theinstallation. If you install the camera on a ceiling orwall, except for accidents caused by fault in thecamera, Panasonic holds absolutely noresponsibility for accidents caused by the camerafalling due to unsuitable installation. Take sufficientcare when installing the camera. If the installation isnot strong enough, be sure to sufficiently reinforcethe location and check that it is safe.• To prevent the camera from falling, attach thesafety wire to the mounting bracket or the anchorbolt before starting to install the camera to preventit from falling.• Always request installation work from a qualifiedservice person or system installer. Lack of technicalknowledge creates the risk of fire, electric shock,personal injury, and material damage.■ Camera Installation LocationInstall the camera on a concrete ceiling or wall at alocation that is sufficiently strong to support it.■ About ceiling mounts/bracketsFor wall mounting, use the optionally available (WV-Q122) Wall Mount Bracket.Bolts for mounting the ceiling mount Attachment Pipeto a ceiling or wall are not provided. You need topurchase them separately in accordance with thematerials and strength of the place you are installingthe camera.■ This camera is designed for use in a hanging con-figuration only. Using it in an upright or inclinedconfiguration can cause malfunction and shortenthe life of the camera.■ Install the camera in a horizontal configuration,with the dome pointed downwards.■ Never install or use the camera in the followinglocations.• Near a swimming pool or other areas wherechemicals are used• Food preparation areas and other locations wherethere are large amounts of steam vapour and oil, inflammable atmospheres, other special environments• Areas where radiation, X-rays, strong electricwaves, or magnetism is generated• At sea, in coastal areas, or in areas where corrosivegas is being generated• Areas outside of the allowable ambient operatingtemperature range (-40 °C to +50 °C)• In a motor vehicle, on a boat, or other areas subjectto strong vibration (This camera is not designed foruse in a vehicle.)• Near an air conditioner outlet or any areas subject tosudden changes in temperature. (Such conditionscan cause clouding and condensation formation onthe dome cover.)■ Wiring power to the cameraThe camera does not have a power switch. During theelectrical work, configure the power supply to thecamera so it can be turned on and off. A self-cleaningfunction is activated (PAN/TILT/ZOOM/FOCUS) whenthe camera is turned on.■ Noise interference considerationsWhen using a power line that is greater than 240 V ACand wiring that is longer than 1 meter, wiring should berouted using a separate metal conduit. (The metalconduit must be earth grounded.)Important:• Before setting up the camera for a configurationwhere the camera's RS485 data port is used forcamera control (pan, tilt, etc.) by the systemcontroller, the camera's DIP switches must beconfigured to specify the unit number andcommunication parameters. (page 13)If DIP switch setting is not performed, thesystem controller control will not be possibleand camera setup will have to be performedagain. Be sure to check the DIP switch settingsbefore setting up the camera.Note: If you need to connect a ground, be sure to do itbefore you connect the main power. Also, whenremoving the ground, be sure to disconnect themain power.■ Beware of high humidity.If the camera is installed when humidity is very high,moisture may collect in the camera and cause thedome to become foggy. If the dome becomes foggy,remove it when the humidity is low and eliminate themoisture inside the camera, and then replace thedome. (page 7, 10)■ About the heaterThe camera comes with a built-in heater so it can beused in cold regions. The heater automatically turns onwhen the internal temperature goes below 10 °C.However, snow and frost that collect on the domecover may not melt if the temperature falls below -40°C Care needs to be taken regarding the ambient andinternal temperature when using the camera in coldregions.-11-
