Service Connection

The service connector allows a video monitor to be connected locally to the camera using a 2.5 mm plug to

composite video BNC cable.

Figure 6. Service Connector

NOTE: Inserting the plug into the service connector disconnects video from the composite BNC connector on

the rear panel of the camera.

WARNING: When powering the camera via the RJ45-10 connector, ensure that the power

connections to the screw terminals on the rear of the camera are not used. The power supply must

be a UL Listed Class 2 isolated type.

To send composite video through the RJ45-10 connector:

1. Connect composite video out to pin 3.

2. Connect composite video ground to pin 2.

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)

Pins 5 and 6 allow video to be transmitted over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring to equipment fitted with a

suitable receiver (except MC3710S models). Ensure that connection polarity is observed in relation to the

connected twisted pair receiver. To implement UTP, you must use 5-pair unshielded twisted cable, Cat5e, or an

equivalent. The camera has a built-in transmitter for UTP. However, you must provide a UTP receiver. Your

maximum cable distance depends on whether you install a passive or active receiver. When using the Genlock

connector or outputting composite video through the BNC or RJ45-10, do not send UTP output to a passive

UTP receiver. However it is acceptable to use an active UTP receiver for UTP output in combination with the
