Mounting to a firm place.
When mounting this unit to the ceiling or wall,
mount it to a secure location where it can
support the mass of this unit. When mounting
to an insecure location, make sure to carry out
reinforcement of the ceiling or wall before
installation.
The camera unit may fall if the mounting screw
or piping is not properly tightened. Ensure that
the screws and nuts are properly tightened.
Mounting the fall prevention wire
Connect the fall prevention wire to prevent this
unit from falling accidentally. The camera unit
may fall if this wire is not connected.
䡵 Mounting the fall prevention wire
Note:
● Pay attention to the length, strength, routing
and material (insulation properties) of the fall
prevention wire used.
● The internal diameter of the rounded portion
on the camera unit to which the fall
prevention wire is to be mounted shall be at
least R 4.1 mm and not larger than R 6.5 mm,
and its external diameter shall not be larger
than R12 mm.
● When mounting the fall prevention wire to the

Precautions for proper installation
Precautions regarding water-proof and
dust-proof
䡵 Fill the hole with sealing material
Fill the piping hole as well as the 2 mounting
holes mounted with screws using a sealing
material.
䡵 Inserting the silica gel supplied
Take out the silica gel from the aluminum
package, insert it into the silica gel insertion
space of the camera unit and fasten using the
lug plate.
Silica Gel Insertion
Space
Sealing Material
Memo:
● Use GE silicon or its equivalents as the
sealing material.
Note:
● If the piping hole and the 2 mounting holes
mounted with screws are not filled with
sealing material completely, water or vapor
may enter the holes causing the lens and
dome cover to fog. Make sure that these
holes are completely filled.
Silica Gel
Lug Plate
Memo:
● During reconnection or re-installation after
repair or maintenance, make sure to replace
the silica gel with a new one.
● Consult your nearby JVC’s dealer on the
replacement procedures.
Serial number of part to be replaced: Use a
LW40500-001A silica gel.
Note:
● When mounting is performed on a rainy day,
make sure that rain water does not enter this
unit.
● Make sure to use the silica gel supplied.
Failure to do so may cause the camera lens
and dome cover to fog.
● If the angle of view is not adjusted
immediately after mounting the camera,
insert the silica gel after adjustment is
completed. The silica gel loses its effect if it is
exposed to the air for a prolonged period of
time.
Precautions for proper
installation (continued)
Precautions regarding water-proof and
dust-proof (continued)
䡵 Precautions when mounting the
dome cover
● Make sure that the dome cover is firmly
fastened.
Otherwise, the humidity level may rise, which
may result in fogging and even falling of the
cover.
● Ensure that the fall prevention wire of the
dome cover is not caught in the space
between the dome cover and base. Failing to
do so may cause the dust-proof and waterproof features to malfunction.
䡵 Binding the sealing tape.
(When mounting the camera using the pipe)
Bind at least 2 layers of the sealing tape to the
joint of the pipe (point where the thread of the
piping hole coincides with the screw hole of the
pipe).
