Cable Connection

For safety reasons, turn on the power only after all the connections are completed. When power is supplied to the camera, the [STATUS] indicator lights up. The indicator lights up in orange during

startup and turns green when startup is complete.

1 Connect the alarm cable

Connect the alarm cable to an external device, such as a sensor or buzzer.

Alarm cable to use (Recommended shield cable)

● Length of 50 m or shorter

● UL1007, UL1015 or equivalent products

● AWG#22 to AWG#18 or equivalent products

2 Connect to audio cable (Recommended shield cable)

3 Connect the LAN cable

To use the PoE power supply, connect to a PoE-compatible device and supply the power from the LAN cable.

Note：

● When using a heater unit (sold separately: KA-ZH215U), PoE power supply does not work

for the heater unit (KA-ZH215U). Be sure to use an AC 24 V power supply.

● Connecting to HUB : Use a straight cable

● Connecting to a computer : Use a cross cable

LAN cable to use

● STP (Recommended shield cable)

● Length of 100 m or shorter

● Category 5 and above

4 Connect the power cable

Power can be supplied to this unit either by connecting to an AC 24 V power supply or using PoE. (To use PoE A [

Note：

●

The power supply cable includes cable of the same color as the alarm cable. Check properly before connecting.

●

Make sure that power is supplied using only one of the above methods at any one time. Connecting simultaneously using the power cable and to PoE via a LAN cable may cause the camera to break down or malfunction.

●

By default the IP addresses of all the cameras are set to 192.168.0.2. If the power of multiple cameras within the same LAN environment are turned on at the same time, the IP addresses of the cameras overlap, thus preventing proper access. As such, make sure to turn on the power of the cameras one by one and set the IP addresses such that there is no overlapping.

Processes after connection

Fill up the piping hole and mounting hole with sealant and insert the silica gel.

1 Use sealant (GE silicon) to fill up the mounting holes (x2) to which

the piping hole and screws are mounted

Note：

● Make sure the holes are completely sealed up. Water or moisture may seep in and fog up the

lens and dome cover.

2 Insert the silica gel (provided)

Note：

●

Please make sure that rain does not seep into this unit when mounting on rainy days.

●

Be sure to use the silica gel (provided). Failure to do so may fog up the camera lens and dome cover.

●

If field angle is not adjusted immediately after mounting the camera, insert the silica gel (provided) after adjustment. The silica gel (provided) will lose its effectiveness if it is exposed to the air for a long time.
