About this guide
Thank you for using Datalogic’s A20 cameras. This guide provides a brief overview to help you get started with your new system. For
more detailed instructions, please refer to the Impact Software Reference Guide and A20 Hardware Guide.
Step 1: Unpack and check all the equipment.
Step 2: Mount the camera (see page 3) and connect the Ethernet cable between the camera and the client computer (see page 4).
Step 3: Connect the cable between the camera and the terminal block if you are using the terminal block (see page 4).
Step 4. Wire AC power connections to the power supply input (see page 4).
Step 5. Wire the power supply output to the connector on the terminal block or the unterminated cable connections (see page 4). Turn on
AC power.
Step 6: Configure the client IP address and install the Impact Software (see page 2).
Step 7: Change the A20 and client IP addresses and/or masks, if necessary (see page 2).
Step 8: Connect the terminal block inputs and outputs, or the unterminated cable connectors, to the desired devices (see page 4).
Unpacking the A-Series camera
Extreme temperature precautions: If your system arrives in very cold or hot weather, allow all the equipment to reach room
temperature before plugging it in. Exposing cold equipment to a warm room can cause condensation. If condensation forms, wait for the
equipment to dry completely before plugging it in.
Check the shipping cartons for damage or signs of rough handling or abuse. Notify the shipping company of any damage. Carefully
remove the camera, cabling, and accessories from the shipping package and inspect each item. Save all packing materials so you can
repack the system in case you need to move or ship it.

System Precautions
Follow all warnings and instructions in this guide and in other
user manuals shipped with your hardware components.
To avoid damage to your system and its components, never
plug or unplug a cable when the power is on. Always disconnect
the power supply before making any cable changes.
Never use the system if a power cable has been damaged. Do
not allow anything to rest on a power cable. Keep cables away
from traffic.
The camera should be firmly mounted to a solid surface to
insure the best inspection results. Use the case mounting holes as
illustrated on page 3.
Do not expose any part of your system to moisture, rain, or
snow, and do not use it near water.
To avoid injury, never open the camera case. Opening the case
or removing the tamper-proof sticker will void the product
warranty.
Warning: There are no user-serviceable parts inside the
camera. To avoid electrical shock, never open the case.
Avertissement: Il n’y a aucune pièce d’utilisateur-servicable
à l’intérieur de l’appareil-photo. Pour éviter le choc électrique,
n’ouvrez jamais la valise.
