Installation Guide
The functionality of each wire fixing hole in the main terminal block is as
described in Table 1.
Hole Name: Gnd (outdoor dome cameras only)
Function: Ground for alternate camera power.
Note: The ground for alternate camera power, the I/O ground, and the RS-485
ground are all isolated from each other.
Hole Name: VDC (outdoor dome cameras only)
Function: Use this fixing hole to supply alternate power to the camera (i.e., use this
connection to supply power to the camera if you are not using PoE).
Nominal operating range: +12 to +24 VDC
Max power consumption: 10 W @ 12 VDC when the heater is enabled
Hole Name: Heater Off (outdoor dome cameras only)
Function: Place a jumper between the Heater Off fixing hole and the Gnd fixing hole
to disable the camera's heater.
If you are using alternate power, the camera's power consumption will be 10 W when
the heater is enabled and 5.5 W (@ 12 VDC) when the heater is disabled.
If you are using PoE, the camera will be Class 0 when the heater is enabled and will
be Class 2 when the heater is disabled. This can be useful when you are using the
camera with a PoE switch that is only capable of supplying low amounts of power.
Hole Name: I/O Gnd
Function: Ground for the camera's I/O ports
Note: The ground for alternate camera power, the I/O ground, and the RS-485
ground are all isolated from each other.
