Precautions
• This camera should be installed by qualied personnel only.
• There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• Do not disassemble this camera other than to make initial adjustments.
• Use a UL approved regulated 24 volt AC or 12 volt DC power supply.
• Use appropriate low voltage power cable to prevent re or electrical shock.
• Please insure that your installation area can support the weight of the camera.
Handle this camera carefully
• Do not use a strong or abrasive detergent when cleaning the camera.
• Do not install near cooling or heating devices.
• Do not install the camera in extreme temperature conditions. Use the camera in environments where temperature
is within 14°F to 122°F. Use adequate ventilation if a camera is installed where high temperatures may occur.

Installation
2.1 General Guidelines
• Camera Lens: Handle the camera dome carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the dome and lens. If the dome or lens
becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the Cleaning section later in this manual.
• Monitor impedance: Set the monitor impedance switch to 75Ω.
• Power supply: To avoid re or shock hazard, use only a UL listed power supply.
• Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:
— Power connector (blue terminal block) – Use 24 Vac power source (AC24V 1A adapter) or 12 Vdc power source
(DC12V 1A adapter). When connecting 12 Vdc power to the camera power drop, observe the polarity shown on the
terminal block.
— Video coax connector (BNC, yellow sleeve) – for transmission of the video signal across coax (75 Ω) cable.

2.2 Mounting the camera
The camera can be mounted onto an electrical box, mounting bracket, or at surface with sucient strength to support it.
2.2.1 Mounting the camera onto a surface
When the camera is surface mounted, the drop cable can be routed through a hole in the center of the base and through the
mounting surface, or the side of the base. 3/4" conduit can be attached to either hole for the protection of the drop cable.

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION
1. Remove the camera dome cover from the camera. If you have a BLK-CPD700 series camera, use a coin to pry o the cover. For
BLK-CPV cameras, loosen the four captive dome screws using the Torx L-wrench provided.
2. Remove the camera module from the base by loosing the three captive screws that secure the camera module to the base.
3. Determine (and acquire, if needed) the best type of fasteners for attaching the camera to the mounting surface. The
mounting screws and wall inserts provided are adequate for most surfaces.
4. Using the camera base as a guide, mark the location of the screws that anchor the base to the mounting surface. For
mounting the camera to a surface, mark the four screw locations four holes. See the photo below. If you are routing the drop
cable through the hole in the base and then through the mounting surface, also mark the position of the hole in the center of
the base for the drop cable.
