A. Mounting
!
IMPORTANT: Electronic devices are susceptible to lightning and power station electrical surges from both the AC outlet and the telephone line. It is recommended that a surge protector be installed to protect against such surges. Contact Panamax at (800) 472-5555 or Electronic Specialists Inc. at (800) 225-4876.
Note: The recommended camera mounting height is
50.0” - 56.0” from the ground.
Example:
Side View of
Model E-50

* Note: Up to 150 ft video cable run length can be achieved using CAT5E or CAT6 cable. Longer cable runs can be used if a passive or active video Balun transceiver is used on each end of the cable. Generally, passive transceivers can achieve up to 750 ft cable runs where active transceivers can achieve up to 3000 ft runs depending on cable type, etc.
The type of video balun transceiver required is specific to your cable run length. For more information on video balun transceivers go to: www.northernvideo.com.
** Note: The maximum camera power supply wire run length is 500 ft of 24 gauge wire (CAT 5/6), longer runs are possible by doubling pairs or increasing the wire gauge.
*** Note: RG59 or RG6 with solid center conductor and 95% bare copper braid shield.
Caution: When routing CAT5E or CAT6 cable, maintain a minimum distance of 3 ft from any parallel high voltage wire (110 VAC) and a minimum of 2 ft from crossing any high voltage wire. For installations where RF noise is expected (commercial applications) or wire runs are near high voltage (110 VAC) wires, a shielded video cable such as RG6 is recommended.
C. Adjusting the Camera
The camera can be tilted and rotated to your desired position. A portable service (test) monitor can be used to determine the correct viewing angle during installation.
Important: To prevent the edge of the faceplate from being viewed in the video image, do not rotate the camera beyond 30 degrees or tilt beyond 20 degrees.
Vertical (Tilt)
Adjustment
+/- 20 degrees maximum
Horizontal (Rotation)
Adjustment
+/- 30 degrees maximum
