VARIO Complete Set up and Installation

Step 1. Select different beam angle – if required

VARIO is factory set and delivered with a 35˚ beam width angle.

To alter to 10˚, simply remove interchangeabIe holographic diffuser (IHD) lens. To alter to 60˚, replace with other IHD lens supplied.

Other angle IHD lenses are available to order: 80˚ and 120˚.

All IHD lenses will be clearly marked with the angle which they will produce when inserted into VARIO.

Please handle IHD lenses with care – and do not touch optical film.

Only 1 IHD lens can be inserted into the product at anytime. The product cannot accommodate mutliple IHD lenses at the same time.

We would recommend that power is turned off when replacing IHD lenses.

Remove base plate from VARIO unit using 2.5mm allen/hex key. Insert required IHD lens and re-attach base plate firmly ensuring gasket is correctly located.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Ensure base plate is securely located, the gasket is correctly located and the screws correctly fastened to ensure and maintain IP66 rating of the product.

1	2	Connect Illuminator to low voltage power supply:
	2	Installers can extend or reduce lead length using
		appropriate cable and weather proof box
	3	Input 12-24V DC/ 24V AC

Note: Red = positive

Black = negative

Step 5. Telemetry Input (Orange & Purple)

As default will be wired together for standard photocell controlled on/off operation. If required to be activated by PIR or alarm system, connect to appropriate, volt-free input or TTL. Telemetry Input for remote switch or input. Volt free input/dry contact: Non polarity sensitive, short circuit = light on

TTL input: Orange = TTL +ve, Purple = TTL –ve (GND) 0V = Light on, 3V = Light off

Step 6. Photocell following output (White & Yellow)

Volt free output - normally open (day) to normally closed (night). Connect direct to camera if required to control switchover of day/night cameras.
