Connecting Power, Video, and Control
The CCC1390H Series camera offers standard power and coax video connectors as well as an external control connector. Before installation,
identify how you will connect each power, video, and control lead to the camera.
CONNECTING POWER
The CCC1390H Series camera is 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 watts.
NOTES:
Be sure to use 60 Hz power for NTSC (CCC1390H-6) and 50 Hz power for PAL (CCC1390H-6X).
Install the camera near a socket or outlet that is easily accessible.
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%.
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.
