Safety symbols and messages are used in this manual to prevent bodily injury and property damage which could result from mishandling. Before doing anything else, read this section first so you are thoroughly aware of the potential safety hazards as well as understanding the safety symbols and messages.

• This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

• To prevent lightning strikes, install the unit at least 5 meters away from a lightning conductor yet within the protective range (angle of 45 degrees) of the lightning conductor. Lightning may cause a fire, electric shock, or personal injury.

• Install the unit only in a location that can structurally support the weight of the unit and the mounting bracket. Doing otherwise may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury.

• Use nuts and bolts that are appropriate for the ceiling’s wall’s structure and composition. Failure to do so may cause the unit to fall, resulting in material damage and possible personal injury.

• Tighten each nut and bolt securely. Ensure that the bracket has no loose joints after installation to prevent accidents that could result in personal injury.

• Have the unit periodically checked by the dealer from where it was purchased. Should the unit or its mounts corrode or structurally deteriorate, the unit could fall down, possibly resulting in personal injury.

• Should any of the following irregularities be found during use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect the power supply cord from the AC outlet and contact your TOA dealer. Do not attempt to further use the unit because a fire or electric shock may result.

• If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit.

• If water or a foreign object enters the unit.

• If the unit falls or the unit case breaks.

• If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of core or disconnection).

• If no image is displayed on the screen.

• Do not insert nor drop metal pieces or flammable materials into the unit’s ventilation slots as this may result in fire or electric shock.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage if ignored or mishandled.

CAUTION

• Leave the unit’s installation to the dealer from where the unit was purchased because the installation requires expert knowledge. Inadequate installation may cause the unit to fall, possibly resulting in personal injury.

• Do not hang from the unit, as the unit may fall, possibly resulting in personal injury.

• Avoid installing the unit in locations exposed to sea breeze or corrosive gas. The unit or its mounts may be subject to corrosion, which could cause the unit to fall, possibly resulting in personal injury.

• Do not touch the unit’s sharp metal edge, as this could result in personal injury.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TOA C-CV44-3 is an outdoor-use high-resolution camera equipped with a 1/4” CCD. Its water-resistant design permits it to be mounted to outdoor walls or ceilings with no need to protect it from rain and the elements. Because the camera angle can be freely moved, a wide range of subjects can be monitored, regardless of installation location. The C-CV44-3 is designed to operate on 24 V AC or 12 V DC, which are supplied by an external power supply unit. Since its 2X vari-focal, auto-iris lens is built inside the camera, its angle of view can be manually adjusted.

3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• Do not point the camera toward the sun or other strong lighting or reflected light.

• Avoid jarring or striking the camera, as the camera may fail.

• Install the camera in locations where the temperature range does not exceed –10°C to +50°C, and no dew condensation is formed.

• To clean, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Never use benzene, thinner or chemically-treated towel to avoid damage to the camera’s finish.

• To clean the lens, use a camera blower or lightly wipe with lens cleaning paper.

• Picture quality may suffer if camera cables are wired close to other electrical equipment, such as fluorescent lamps. In such cases, reroute the wiring.

• Monitor screen pictures may become distorted or roll if the camera is used in locations influenced by strong electrical or magnetic fields from television transmission antennas, motors or transformers. In such cases, install the cables inside sheet steel cable conduit.

• Use the external power supply unit of the following rating when the camera is operated on 12 V DC.

12 V DC, over 1.0 A
