Thunderstorms If there is a thunderstorm or if the device has not been in use for a longer period of time, please always disconnect the device from the power source. Disconnect the power cord. This protects the device from lightning damages or overcharging.

Entry of liquids or items

Never poke with metalic items in the ventilation slots of the device. You may touch dangerous live power items which may lead to an electronic shock, a short circuit or fire.

CE compliance

This appliance complies with the CE guidelines. Attention:

Any changes or modifications to this appliance which have not been explicitly approved of by the respective regulatory authority, may lead to a prohibition of usage of this appliance.

Safety instructions

Before operating the appliance, please read this manual carefully and retain it for further

reference.

Before cleaning the appliance, it has to be switched off and unplugged from the power outlet.

Wipe the appliance with a soft damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleansers or aerosols for cleaning. The type label may not be replaced.

Do not use attachments unless recommended by the manufacturer as they may affect the

functionality of the appliance and result in the risk of fire, electric shock or injury. Never install the appliance in areas exposed to water or other liquids. The appliance has to be installed in a safe and stable location which is able to carry the weight of

the appliance. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance to fall

causing serious injury to persons and damage to objects. Openings in the appliance, if any, are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the

appliance and to protect if from overheating. These openings must not be covered or blocked.

Please make sure that the appliance does not overheat. The appliance should only be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking

label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied at the installation location, please contact

your local dealer. An appliance which is powered through a polarized plug (a plug with one blade wider than the

other) will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert

the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized

plug. If the appliance is powered through a grounding-type plug, the plug will only fit into a grounding-

type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If your outlet does not have the grounding plug

receptacle, contact your local electrician. Route power cords and cables in a manner to protect them from damage by being walked on or

pinched by items places upon or against them. For protection of the appliance during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused

for a longer period, unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. Disconnect any antennas or cable

systems that may be connected to the appliance. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to

lightning or power-line surges. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric

shock. Never insert items into the openings of the appliance. They may touch parts under electric current

which may cause an electric shock. Never pour any liquids over the appliance.

In case of any operating interruption or a complete operating failure please switch off the

appliance and disconnect it from the wall outlet. Never attempt to service or repair the appliance

yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. When replacement parts are required, be sure that the service technician uses replacements parts

specified by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards. Upon completion of any service or repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to perform

safety checks to verify that the appliance is in proper operating condition. The appliance should only be installed by qualified service personnel and has to comply with local

specifications and regulations. Never point the camera at an object with a high degree of luminance. Bright vertical or horizontal

lines can result in a distortion (outshine) of the entire image on the monitor. This artifact is not an

error but a particularity of semiconductor CCDs when they are directly exposed to a powerful light

source. At the installation site, the camera has to be adjusted to the given light conditions (see OSD). Please respect the local legal regulations on waste if you need to dispose of discarded appliances.

This symbol means that electrical appliances need to be disposed of properly and not simply with unsorted household refuse. Please respect local regulations on waste disposal.

Note: It is recommended to remove camera window for improving the picture quality when you use the bubble ring.

Caution: When installing the speed dome on a high pole outside, caution should be taken to avoid vibration and shaking of the dome caused by e.g. wind or shock or passing heavy vehicles. If the pole is not stable enough, it may cause malfunction when in tilt position.

1x dome camera VDC-295IDH 1x clear bubble ring 1x 10-pin connector 2x 12-pin connector 1x user manual

Caution: Be sure to have caution labels (E version only) on both the body and the base of the camera. Different versions will not support inputs and outputs.

The dome camera is designed for use in surface mounting applications and the mounting surface should be capable of supporting loads up to 4.5 kg.

The dome camera’s base should be attached to a structural object, such as hard wood, a wall stud or ceiling rafter that supports the weight of the dome camera.

The dome camera must be installed by qualified service personnel in accordance with all local and federal electrical and building codes. The system should be installed according to figures 4 through 9.

Fig. 5: Layout of switches

2.3 Setting the dome camera termination

The device which is connected at end of line, whether it is a dome camera or a keyboard, must be connected by a terminated cable. The termination of the cable is achieved by the appropriate DIP switch setting. Without proper termination, control signal errors may occur. The total length of the communication cable should not exceed 1.2 km.

2.4 Fail-safe network

When you control the dome by a device other than your own keyboard, errors may occur in the serial communication. The reason for this is caused by the other device without the fail-safe network.

In this case, you solve the problem by setting the DIP switch to “ON” of the dome camera nearest to the other device.

2.5 Setting the dome camera address (ID)

To prevent damage, each dome camera must have a unique address (ID). When installing multiple dome cameras using a multiplexer, it is suggested that the dome camera address matches the multiplexer’s port number. If you want to set the camera ID to more than 999, please contact your service provider.

Example: Port 1 = dome 1, port 2 = dome 2 … port 16 = dome 16.

If more than 16 dome cameras are installed using two or more multiplexers, the ID of the dome camera should be made up of the ID of MUX x no. of camera IN (example: multiplexer ID= n, Camera IN= m; then dome ID =16x (n-1)+m )

Please refer to figures 4-5 for setting the dome camera address (ID) and protocol selection.

2.7 Connections

RS-485/-422 connection

The dome camera can be controlled remotely by an external device or control system, such as a control keyboard, using RS-485 half-duplex, RS-422 duplex or a serial simplex communications signals. Connect Rx+ and Rx- with Tx+ and Tx- of the RS-485 control system. If the control system is RS-422, connect Rx+(Tx+), Rx+(Tx-) and Rx+, Rx- of the dome camera to Rx+, Rx- and Tx+, Tx- of the control device respectively.

Monitor connection

Connect the video output (BNC) connector to the monitor or the video input.

Connecting alarms AL 1 to 8 (alarm input)

You can use external devices to make the dome camera react to events. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the AL (alarm input) and GND (ground) connectors. See chapter 3 for programming and operating alarm inputs.

Note: All connectors marked with GND have the same reference.

Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or the alarm output to the GND connector.

NC (NO) 1 to 4 (normally close or normally open: alarm output)

The dome camera can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. Connect the device to the NC (NO) (alarm output) and COM (common) connectors. See chapter 3 for programming and operating alarm inputs

Connecting the power

Connect the plug of the power supply unit (24 V AC, 850mA) to the dome camera. Only use certified/listed class 2 power sources.
