CONNECTING POWER
The C10DN-6 and C10DN-6X are designed to operate from either a 12 VDC or a 24 VAC power source. The camera automatically senses power type.
Use only a Class 2 isolated power source that can supply 12 VDC ±15% or 24 VAC ±15%, 50/60 Hz. Maximum power consumption is about 3.5 W.
NOTES:
Be sure to use 60 Hz power for NTSC (C10DN-6) and 50 Hz power for PAL (C10DN-6X and C10DN-7X).
Install the camera near a socket or outlet that is easily accessible.
Use Table B to help you identify the necessary wire gauge and maximum cable distance. This table applies to 2-conductor solid copper wire.
(Reduce distance by 10 percent for stranded copper wire.) These maximum distances are based on a maximum allowable voltage drop of
10 percent.
C10DN-7X CAMERA ONLY
The C10DN-7X camera uses a power main supply of 220–240 VAC, 50 Hz. This main supply must also have a minimum rating of 50 mA.
WARNINGS:
Do not connect high voltage power to the camera because you may damage the camera.
Do not short circuit the power leads when connecting the power supply to the camera.
Do not remove the connector cover during camera operation.
