Power, Video, and Control Connections
The CCC5100H Series is a low voltage camera. Maximum power consumption is about 4.5 watts.
The CCC5100H Series camera offers standard power and coax video connectors as well as a multifunction connector that combines power, video
(coax and unshielded twisted pair), and control leads for quick installation (refer to
Using the Multifunction Connector
for more information).
Before installation, identify how you will connect each power, video, and control lead to the camera.
CONNECTING POWER
The CCC5100H Series camera operates from either a 12 VDC or a 24 VAC power source. They automatically sense power type and polarity.
Use only a Class 2 isolated power source that can supply 12-36 VDC ±10% or 24-28 VAC ±10%, 47-63 Hz.
NOTE: (AC power only)
When connecting more than one camera to the same AC transformer, connect the same side of the transformer to the
same terminal on all cameras. Otherwise, the cameras may be out of phase, causing a vertical roll when switching between cameras. Refer to
Camera Synchronization
for more information.
Use Table A to help you identify the necessary wire gauge and maximum cable distance. This table applies to two-conductor copper wire.
These maximum distances are based on a maximum allowable voltage drop of 10%.
Table A.
Recommended Wire Gauge and Maximum Wiring Distances
Connect power to the terminal block that is supplied with the camera. Then plug the terminal block into the two-pin connector on the back of the
camera. If using the multifunction connector, refer to
Using the Multifunction Connector
.

WARNINGS:
•
Do not connect high voltage power to the two-pin power connector on the rear panel or you may damage the camera.
•
Apply power to either the power connector or the multifunction connector. The camera cannot accept power at both connectors at the
same time.
