VN-V686WPU_EN.book Page 20 Friday, February 8, 2008 5:20 PM Connection/Installation Power Connection Warning Note: ● Be sure to use an AC 24 V supply that is isolated from the primary power supply circuit. Using a variable voltage power supply will cause the camera and system to malfunction or breakdown. ● The unit is to be powered by an AC 24 V power supply. The AC 24 V power supply should conform to the following: Class 2 only (For USA), Isolated power supply only (For Europe and others).
VN-V686WPU_EN.book Page 21 Friday, February 8, 2008 5:20 PM Note: ● If thin cables are used, the resistance of the cables will be high and a significant voltage drop will occur when the camera is at its maximum power consumption (when pan, tilt and zoom operates at the same time). Either use a thick cable with low resistance or place the power supply near to the camera and shorten the length of the cable to restrict the voltage drop at the rated current of camera to below 10 %.

VN-V686WPU_EN.book Page 23 Friday, February 8, 2008 5:20 PM Alarm input signal Connects to sensors such as infrared sensors, door sensors, metal sensors and manual switches. ● To prevent noise from entering the internal circuit, supply non-voltage contact signal to the alarm input signal. ● Do not supply voltage. ● When the contact is short (MAKE) or open (BREAK) on the menu, you can set it to Alarm. ● Supply such that the alarm signal continues for at least more than 500 ms.
VN-V686WPU_EN.book Page 24 Friday, February 8, 2008 5:20 PM Connection/Installation Network Requirements ● Ensure that there is sufficient network bandwidth for the data volume to be sent out by VNV686WPU. Do not send multicast stream that exceeds the bandwidth. If the entire bandwidth is used by the multicast stream, control of this camera via the network may fail. ● Data volume to be sent by VN-V686WPU varies with the settings and number of distributions.
VN-V686WPU_EN.book Page 25 Friday, February 8, 2008 5:20 PM When only MPEG4 images are distributed, the maximum number of distributions is determined by the preset bit rate. When a distribution request that exceeds the maximum number of distributions is received, this request is denied.
