50 Hz, switch to the Flickerless mode during use
under fluorescent lights (excluding inverter lighting
equipment) to prevent flickers.
● Do not install this camera at locations where cold
air is circulated, such as near the air vent of an air
conditioner. The drastic change in temperature may
fog up the dome cover.
● Rating label is pasted at the bottom or top of the camera
unit.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICK
SHOCK. DO NOT REMOVE COVER

an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous
voltage" within the product's enclosure that age"
within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
● The rotation angle of this camera is increased to
enable installation at a wider variety of locations. When
the lens is at the wide-angle position, and tilted at an
angle close to +/-80 degrees, a part of the camera
may come into view on the screen depending on the
rotation angle. When this occurs, adjust the field angle
accordingly.
Handling Precautions

sound when contacts short circuit (MAKE) or
when the contacts are open (BREAK). (Pressure
resistance lower than 16V, 30 mA)
• This terminal has different polarities. The output
voltage at the positive terminal must always be
higher than the output voltage at the negative
terminal. Otherwise, the circuit may be damaged.
