Important Notes

Safety Warnings

Notes on Installing:

• This product must not be used in locations exposed to
the dangers of explosion.

• Make sure that you install this product as outlined in Chapter 2,

«Installation» of the corresponding manual. A faulty installation can

damage the camera!

• When installing this product, make sure that you are only using gen­uine MOBOTIX parts and MOBOTIX connection cables.

• Only install this product on suitable, solid materials that provide for

a sturdy installation of the xing elements used.

Electrical installation: Electrical systems and equipment may

only be installed, modied and maintained by a qualied

ed electrician in accordance with the applicable electrical guidelines.

Make sure to properly set up all electrical connections.

Electrical surges: MOBOTIX cameras are protected against

the eects of small electrical surges by numerous measures.

These measures, however, cannot prevent the camera from
being damaged when stronger electrical surges occur. Special care should
be taken when installing the camera outside of buildings to ensure proper
protection against lightning, since this also protects the building and the
whole network infrastructure.

Max. power consumption of attached extension modules:
The power consumption of all attached MxBus modules must
not exceed 3 W. When attaching modules to the MxBus con-
nector and the USB socket, the power consumption of all

attached modules must not exceed 4 W, if the camera is powered by

PoE class 3. If PoE class 2 is used, the power consumption of all attached
modules must not exceed 1 W!

Never touch the lenses: Due to the high performance of the
M16, the area of the image sensor can get quite hot, especially
when the ambient temperature is also high. This does not

aect the proper functioning of the camera in any way. For this reason,

the product must not be installed within the reach of persons without
domes or protective lens covers.

Power o before opening the camera: Make sure the power
supply to the camera is disconnected before opening the

camera housing (e.g., when inserting or exchanging lenses,

lens units and SD cards).

Network security: MOBOTIX products include all of the nec­essary conguration options for operation in Ethernet net­works in compliance with data protection laws. The operator
is responsible for the data protection concept across the entire system.

The basic settings required to prevent misuse can be congured in the
soware and are password-protected. This prevents unauthorized parties

from accessing these settings.

Attention – Special Export Laws Apply!
