Important Safety Information
This manual provides installation and operation information and precautions for the use of this device. Incorrect
installation could cause an unexpected fault. Before installing this equipment read this manual carefully. Please
provide this manual to the owner of the equipment for future reference.
This Warning symbol indicates the presence of dangerous voltage within and outside the product
enclosure that may result in a risk of electric shock, serious injury or death to persons if proper
precautions are not followed.
This Caution symbol alerts the user to the presence of hazards that may cause minor or moderate injury
to persons, damage to property or damage to the product itself if proper precautions are not followed.
WARNING — Failure to observe the following instructions may result in severe injury or death.
l Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only.
l Installation of the device must conform to all local codes.
l Power supply to the product must be exclusively provided by Power over Ethernet (PoE).
l Do not connect directly to a mains power system for any reason.
CAUTION — Failure to observe the following instructions may result in injury to persons or damage to
the device.
l Do not expose the camera directly to high levels of x-ray, laser, or UV radiation. Direct exposure to high
levels of x-ray, laser, or UV radiation may cause permanent damage to the image sensor.
l Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other sources of heat.
l Do not subject the device cables to excessive stress, heavy loads or pinching.
l Do not open or disassemble the device. There are no user serviceable parts.
l Refer all device servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing may be required when the device has been
damaged (such as from a liquid spill or fallen objects), has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
l Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the device body.
l Use only accessories recommended by Avigilon.
l This product should be installed in restricted access locations.
WARNING — The electrical system to which the unit is connected must be equipped with an automatic
bipolar circuit breaker. The circuit breaker for main supply voltage phase units must have a level of
intervention of 20A max. The circuit breaker for low voltage units must have a level of intervention of 6A
max. This circuit breaker must be of the Listed type. The minimum distance between the circuit breaker
contacts must be 3 mm (0.1"). The circuit breaker must be provided with protection against the fault
current towards the ground (differential) and the overcurrent (magnetothermal).

l The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by an improper use of the appliances
mentioned in this manual. Furthermore, the manufacturer reserves the right to modify its contents without
any prior notice. The documentation contained in this manual has been collected with great care. The
manufacturer, however, cannot take any liability for its use. The same thing can be said for any person or
company involved in the creation and production of this manual.
l Before starting any operation, make sure the power supply is disconnected.
l Be careful not to use cables that seem worn or old.
l Never, under any circumstances, make any changes or connections that are not shown in this handbook.
Improper use of the appliance can cause serious hazards, risking the safety of personnel and of the
installation.
l Use only original spare parts. Non-original spare parts could cause fire, electrical discharge or other
hazards.
l Before proceeding with installation, check the supplied material to make sure it corresponds to the order
specification by examining the identification labels (Product marking).
l This device was designed to be permanently secured and connected on a building or on a suitable
structure. The device must be permanently secured and connected before any operation.
l Installation category (also called Overvoltage Category) specifies the level of mains voltage surges that
the equipment will be subjected to. The category depends upon the location of the equipment, and on
any external surge protection provided. Equipment in an industrial environment, directly connected to
major feeders/short branch circuits, is subjected to Installation Category III. If this is the case, a reduction
to Installation Category II is required. This can be achieved by use of an insulating transformer with an
earthed screen between primary and secondary, or by fitting UL listed Surge Protective Devices (SPDs)
from live to neutral and from neutral to earth. Listed SPDs shall be designed for repeated limiting of
transient voltage surges, suitable rated for operating voltage and designated as follows: Type 2
(Permanently connected SPDs intended for installation on the load side of the service equipment
overcurrent device); Nominal Discharge Current (In) 20kA min. For example: FERRAZ SHAWMUT,
STT2240SPGCN, STT2BL240SPG-CN rated 120Vac/240Vac, (In=20kA). Maximum distance between
installation and reduction is 5m.
l Any device which could be installed inside the product must comply with the current safety standards.
l If the installation is NEMA TYPE 4X, the installer must replace the cable glands of the product with NEMA
TYPE 4X cable glands.
l For all connections, use cables that are able to withstand temperatures of at least 75°C (167°F).
l The product is designed to house only cameras that are properly certified (7W max).
l A power disconnect device must be included in the electrical system, and it must be very quickly
recognizable and operated if needed.
l To connect the power supply line, use an appropriate junction box. For further information, refer to the
product use and installation manual.
l Use Listed copper tube crimping lugs for the connection of the network conductors to the terminals. The
copper tube crimping lugs must be suitable for the type of installation (from -20°C [-4°F] to +80°C [+176°F]
min., V-0). Copper tube crimping lugs examples: RP, BP o YP (Cembre).

Overview
Read through the documentation supplied with the IR illuminator box and see the H4A-B - H4 HD Camera
Installation Guide before proceeding with this manual.
This guide provides instructions on how to install an H4 License Plate Capture (LPC) camera using the Avigilon
H4 LPC Camera Kit.
For information on how to select an appropriate mounting location and to set up the IR illuminator, see the H4
LPC Site Design Guide.
For information on how to use the License Plate Recognition feature in the Avigilon Control Center (ACC), see
the Avigilon Control Center™ Client User Guide.
Product Description and Type Designation
The ES-HD-LP-PS housing optimally exploits POE and POE+ technology, using the power supplied by the
Ethernet cable as the sole source of power for all connected devices, thus ensuring maximum efficiency and
flexibility of the network system as well as user-friendly installation and low costs.
The innovative IPM (Intelligent Power Management) system enables extremely quick and easy installation with
the use of a single Ethernet cable connection.
The IPM system automatically operates the heater and this guarantees the optimal operation of the IP camera
between -30°C (-22°F) and +50°C (122°F), with heat regulation and cold start (activation at low temperature).
Unpacking
