read the handling instructions.

● Do not hold the camera head while undertaking the
installation work. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

Concerning the installation location

Install the unit in a stable location which will not be
susceptible to shaking. If the unit is installed in a location
which is susceptible to shaking, this will cause the unit’s
images to shake in turn.
Install the unit after conferring in detail with your dealer.
Install the unit on a ceiling that is strong enough (such as a
concrete ceiling).
If the unit is to be installed on a ceiling which is not strong
enough, reinforce the ceiling sufficiently first.

Do not install or use the unit in the following kinds of
locations.

● On walls (where the unit would be installed sideways)

● In locations (including places such as under the eaves of

a building) where the unit would be directly exposed to
rain or water

● In locations such as kitchens where there are high
concentrations of steam and grease

Installation Instructions

Installation precautions

Be absolutely sure to use the specified brackets and
screws to install the camera.

● Do not mount the unit by employing any methods other
than those specified.

● Do not remodel the mounting bracket or mounting screws
provided with the unit.

Before installation, always disconnect the power plug

When installing, always use the supplied components.
Do not disassemble or modify the wall mount adaptor.

Tightening up the mounting screws

● Tighten up the screws and bolts securely to the degree
that is appropriate for each of the materials used in the
mounting location and structures.

● After tightening up the screws and bolts, check that there
is no unsteadiness and that the parts have been tightened
securely.

● Use the specified tools and tighten the screws firmly.

● Tighten up the screws using the specified torque driver.

Do not use electrical drivers or impact drivers.

When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not
leave it lying around, but be absolutely sure to remove it
properly.

For details on how to remove the unit, refer to “Removing the
camera” (page 15).

When installing, transferring or disposing of the unit, be
absolutely sure to hold it by its pedestal area.

Problems may result if the camera head is held or rotated.

Do not attach a filter, hood, extender or other parts to the
unit.

Use the dedicated AC adaptor and power cable provided
with the unit.

Connect the AC adaptor and power cable to the power inlet
securely.

Installing the AC adaptor

● Do not place the adaptor directly onto a ceiling panel or
other such surface.
Extreme danger is posed when water has collected on the
surface as a result of leaking rain, for instance.
Secure the adaptor firmly to the bottom or other surface of
a reinforcing member made of channel steel where dust
and other foreign matter will not accumulate.
(Refer to page 13.)

● Secure the adaptor firmly so that there will be no chance
that it will fall off or fall down.
Secure it using a strength which can withstand the mass
of the AC adaptor.

Install the accessory AC adaptor near the main power
outlet, and position it in such a way that its power plug
can be plugged into and unplugged from the outlet
easily.

When connecting the AC adaptor to a power outlet on the
ceiling or on any other surface where dust may collect, wipe
off the dust on the power plug at periodic intervals as an anti­tracking measure.

(continued)

Power switch

The unit does not have a power switch. The power turns
on when its power plug is connected to a power outlet.
When the power is turned on, the pan, tilt, zoom and
focusing operations are performed. Before proceeding with
maintenance, be absolutely sure to disconnect the power
plug from the power outlet.

Connecting the power cable

Be absolutely sure to connect the power cable of the
AC adaptor through a circuit breaker using one of the
following methods.

(1) Connect the power cable through a power control unit.
(2) Connect the power cable to a circuit breaker in a

power distribution panel with a contact distance of

3.0 mm (1/8 inches) or more.
Use a circuit breaker which is capable of shutting
off all the poles of the main power supply with the
exception of the protective ground conductor.

(3) Install the AC adaptor near the power outlet, and

connect it through the power plug.

If there is a possibility of noise interference

Either wire the cables so that the power cable (ceiling light
cord) of AC 100 V* [AC 220 V**] or more, and the signal
cable are placed at least 1 meter (3.3 ft) apart. Alternatively
run each cable through its own metal conduit. (The metal
conduits must be grounded.)

* : For AW-HE42WP, AW-HE42KP
** : For AW-HE42WE, AW-HE42KE

Radio signal interference

If the unit is positioned near a TV or radio transmitting
antenna or a strong electrical field or magnetic field (such as
that generated by a motor, transformer or power lines), its
images may be distorted and/or the images may be affected
by noise.

When connecting the cables, ensure that the connector
areas will not be subject to any load.

Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

Allowing the generated heat to escape

The unit allows the heat generated inside to escape from its
surfaces.
Do not install the unit in a location where it will be surrounded
by walls or other surfaces and where heat will be trapped. In
addition, the heat is dissipated to the bottom panel which will
warm up over time: This is normal and not indicative of any
trouble.

PoE+ power supplies

Use a PoE+ (IEEE802.3at compliant) compatible hub or
power supply device.

Installation Instructions

How to install and connect the unit

Be absolutely sure to read through the “Read this first!” (page 5) and “Installation precautions” (pages 7 to 8).

The procedure given here is for the kind of installation where the unit is suspended from an overhead surface, but the same
steps are followed for a stand-alone installation.

If the ceiling panel is not strong enough to bear the unit’s weight, use the kind of mount bracket that is supported by
anchor bolts between the concrete ceiling and ceiling panel. The unit supports the WV-Q105A direct ceiling mount
bracket which is used solely for combination cameras. Use this bracket to install the unit. (See page 13.)
In a case like this, the holes (ø 60 mm [ø 2-3/8 inches]) for installing the direct ceiling mount bracket on the ceiling
must be drilled in the ceiling panel.
It is also recommended that you provide an inspection space or opening for access purposes in the area near where
the equipment is installed in order to facilitate installation and the wiring connections work.
See page 58 for details of the accessories.

1 Check the mounting space.

● Refer to the illustration, and determine where the unit is to be installed and in which direction it should be mounted.
Factor in the unit mounting area and include space for the wires extending from its rear panel.

● The asterisk () in the illustration marks the position and dimensions of the hole for mounting the mount bracket.

■When using the WV-Q105A (optional accessory)

It is recommended that you provide an inspection opening or other such space for access purposes in the area near where the
equipment is installed in order to facilitate installation and the wiring connections work.
Before mounting the mount bracket, check that the installation location is strong enough to withstand the total mass
(approx. 2.0 kg [4.41 lb]) which will be exerted once the camera is mounted.
When installing the unit on a ceiling, ensure that there is at least 100 mm (3-15/16 inches) of space above the ceiling panel in
the place where the unit will be used.
The unit can be installed on a ceiling panel with a thickness ranging from 5 mm (3/16 inches) to 40 mm (1-9/16 inches).
The drop-prevention wire (supplied with the WV-Q105A) must be used when mounting the direct ceiling mount bracket.

● Withdrawal strength: 196 N {20 kgf} or more

The anchor bolts must not protrude
beneath the ceiling panel.

1 Refer to the Operating Instructions of the WV-Q105A direct ceiling mount bracket, and attach the

WV-Q105A as well as the drop-prevention wire angle and drop-prevention wire supplied with the
WV-Q105A to the anchor bolts.

Mounting the anchor bolts and direct ceiling mount bracket ()

This job is facilitated if the direct ceiling mount bracket is loosely secured to the ceiling panel in one place, and
the direct ceiling mount bracket and anchor bolts are vertically aligned before the nuts are tightened up.

2 First, remove the screws which were loosely fastened in step 1, and then align the camera mount

bracket of the AW-HE42 with the screw holes in the WV-Q105A direct ceiling mount bracket and mount it
in place.

● Use the mounting screws (the M4-L60 Phillips head screws with adhesive) supplied with the WV-Q105A as the mounting
screws.

● Fasten the AC adaptor securely to the bottom or other surface of the reinforcing member made of channel steel where
dust and other foreign matter will not accumulate.

● Do not place the AC adaptor directly onto the ceiling panel or other such surface.

Installation Instructions

How to install and connect the unit

When installing the unit on a wall (installation example)

(continued)

1 Before proceeding, fashion an L-shaped mounting fixture, and attach the fixture securely to the wall

where the unit will be installed.

IMPORTANT

● Before installing the unit, check that the surface of the wall where the unit will be installed is strong enough to
bear not only the total weight (approx. 2.0 kg [4.41 lb]) of the camera once it has been installed but also the
weight of the L-shaped mounting fixture and its supports.

● Use supports that are strong enough to withstand the total weight of the camera once it has been installed and
any vibration or other forces to secure the L-shaped mounting fixture.
If the supports are not capable of bearing this weight and forces, the unit may become detached from the
installation surface or it may fall off, possibly causing injury.
