CABLE AND POWER GUIDELINES

(Detailed info on Page 11)

This chart shows the proper current needed for power supplies for Warrior Series cameras. Use Class 2 Power only. Input voltage must be between 12-28 VDC or 15-28 VAC.

VOLTAGE	CURRENT	POWER
12 V DC	350mA	4.2W
24 VAC	202mA	4.8W

Depending on the voltage being used, refer to one of the formulas below to select the correct power supply for cameras connected in parallel (positive to positive, negative to negative):

Total current for a 12 V DC system:

TOTAL CURRENT = (350m A x total number of cameras)

Total current for a 24 VAC system:

TOTAL CURRENT = (202m A x total number of cameras)

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

1. Determine the mounting location. Be sure that you'll be mounting to a secure wall or ceiling, next to a stud.
2. Complete all wire and conduit runs prior to installation of the housing.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Cut a 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" square hole in the surface with one side against the stud (Figure 1). If necessary, use the template provided on the last page of these instructions.

ADDENDUM 1

UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIR VIDEO WIRING

NOTE: The customer must purchase the Video Transceiver from NVT. Part numbers are:

• NV-212A (500 ft.)
* NV-213A or NV-213A-M (1000 ft.)
• NV-652R, NV-862R, or NV-1662R (3000 ft.)

The cameras included in the Warrior series are able to transmit video signals to NVT receivers via unshielded twisted pair cable. You must purchase the receiver separately. Instructions for connecting the receiver end of the unshielded twisted pair cable will be included with the NVT receiver. Following are instructions for connecting the unshielded twisted pair cable to the PC board inside your Warrior housing. See the TROUBLESHOOTING section in the back of these instructions if you experience any problems.

1. Connect the unshielded twisted pair cable to the positive and negative screw terminals on the Warrior PC board (Figure 16).

Video Negative (-) Video Positive (+) NV-6511 NV1011 Figure 16 PC Board

1. Connect the other end of the unshielded twisted pair cable to the NVT receiver.

CAUTION: The unshielded twisted pair video signal is polarity dependent. The positive video terminal on the Warrior PC board MUST be connected to the positive terminal on the NVT receiver, and negative MUST be connected to negative.

1. When using unshielded twisted pair cable you DO NOT need the BNC connector. Be sure that there is no video connection other than the unshielded twisted pair cable.

Wiring Notes

Wire — What to DO

1. DO use point-to-point Unshielded Twisted Pair wire, gauge 24 or thicker, stranded or solid, Category 2, 3, 4, or 5.
2. The video signal may co-exist in the same wire bundle as other video, telephone, data, control signals, or low-voltage power. It is also OK to run NVT video signals in or near electromagnetic fields (in accordance with National Electrical Code, local, or other local safety requirements).
3. DO measure the wire distance. Use only transceivers that are designed for that distance.
4. DO make sure the pair of wires carrying the video signal is sent as a twisted pair (e.g. the blue-white/white-blue wires twisted together as a pair), not a "split-pair" (e.g. blue-white conductor, part of one pair/orange-white conductor, part of another pair).

Wire — What NOT to DO

1. DO NOT USE SHIELDED TWISTED PAIR WIRE. It will severely degrade the distance performance. Short runs may be used with some signal degradation (for example elevator traveler cables). Multi-pair wire with an overall shield is OK.
2. DO NOT USE UN-TWISTED WIRE. It will reduce the NVT product's inherent interference immunity.
3. DO NOT allow your installation to have "bridge-taps", loading coils, talk-battery, or MOV type protectors. Bridge-taps are where a twisted pair is connected to two twisted pairs (such as an extension phone at home). Bridge-taps cause reflections as the signal propagates, resulting in "ghosts" in the video image, and are to be avoided.
4. If the phone company is providing the cable runs between buildings, make sure it's "dry copper" i.e. it should have none of the following: dial-tone, 48 volts, loading coils, bridge-taps, switching, or long paths to the phone company's central office and back.
5. Due to near-end crosstalk, DO NOT send a transmit and a receive signal in the same wire bundle. Exceptions: Less than 1,000 ft (300m), or Category 5 cable, up to 2,000 ft (600m) are OK.
6. DO NOT send "Up-the-Coax" Pan/Tilt/Zoom signals through active (amplified) NVT transceivers.

1. For safety, never put NVT signals in the same conduit as high-voltage wiring.

1. WARNING — to reduce a risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.

Measure your wire distance

Note: All NVT quoted distance specifications include any coax in the run. It is recommended that the wire distance be measured to ensure that the capability of the NVT product is correct.

Wire resistance may be measured with an ohm-meter by shorting the two conductors together at the far end, and measuring the loop-resistance out and back. Compare your readings with the charts on the next page.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience problems with the camera picture please check these simple troubleshooting procedures for possible solutions before calling technical support.

STATIONARY OR SCROLLING HORIZONTAL LINES ON SCREEN

GROUND LOOPS

Generally a horizontal line on screen, whether moving or stationary, means you have a ground loop problem. The video shield should only be connected to ground through the monitor or other electronic equipment that uses the video signal. Connecting the video shield to ground at the camera will create a ground loop, which may interfere with the video signal (See Figure A). This should not damage the camera, but the video signal may become unusable. A ground loop problem will cause a dark horizontal bar to slowly "scroll" through the picture. To solve this problem, remove all ground connections from the video connection EXCEPT for the ground at the terminating end of the video signal.

The video termination should be a 75-ohm impedance, standard in monitors and other video equipment. If the video signal goes to more than one piece of equipment, a monitor and multiplexer input for instance, insure that one and only one piece of equipment terminates the video signal with 75 ohms; otherwise the image will be degraded and may appear to be unusually dim.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have removed the ground loop and the horizontal line still remains on screen call Videolarm technical support for further information.

AUTOMATIC BROWN OUT FEATURE

The camera includes an automatic brown out feature which is activated whenever the incoming voltage drops below 10 VAC or VDC.

LINE LOCK

All cameras are all shipped from the factory with the line lock function disabled. If your application requires Line Lock contact Videolarm.

NVT TROUBLESHOOTING

If you are experiencing problems, attempt to simplify your setup. Test each cable segment separately. For example, test the camera and monitor together without the other equipment. Then add in the NVT transceivers, back-to-back. Test each segment of a long cable-run independently. Attempt to isolate the problem.

Below are problems that may be encountered. If the suggestions below are not helpful, or the recommendations are not effective, please call NVT's customer support. NVT customer support can be reached 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM PST at [phone] or at (+1) [phone].

FAINT OR BLURRY PICTURE; LITTLE OR NO COLOR

Possible causes include:

1. Shielded twisted-pair cable. Verify that the wire is unshielded twisted-pair cable. Multi-pair cable with an overall shield is OK.
2. Longer wire distance than expected. Be sure to include any coax cable that's part of this distance. Verify end-to-end connectivity with an ohm meter. Measure the distance by disconnecting the transceivers, shorting the far end, reading the loop's resistance at the near end. See above for ohm vs. distance ratings. If necessary, replace transceivers with correct models specified for this distance.
3. Incorrect distance equalization setting. Adjust the equalization controls) with a mini screwdriver (NV-652R, NV-862R or the NV-1662R). If the transmitter is an NV-653T, verify correct equalization switch setting.
4. Poor connection at a punch-block, splice, or coax cable. Re-check using the method described in #2 above, or use a wire test set.
5. Short between conductors of the twisted-pair. Use an ohm meter to locate the short.
6. Transient protection devices employing metal-oxide varistors. Use carbon blocks, gas-discharge tubes, or NVT transceivers with built-in protection.
7. Check the camera. Are the focus and iris set correctly? Verify with portable monitor.

EXTREMELY FAINT PICTURE

Only faint shadows of the original picture are visible. One of the twisted pair conductors is open or the wires are shorted together. Check with an ohm meter.

OVER-SATURATED COLORS; HIGH CONTRAST GRAINY PICTURE; TOO BRIGHT, TORN PICTURE

Adjust the distance equalization as necessary. Verify that the monitor has a 75 termination, not in "loop-through".

WON'T SYNC; WIDE, WHITE JAGGED AREAS

Looks like a scrambled Cable TV signal. Check polarity.

WON'T SYNC; TORN PICTURE

1. Make sure that you are using unshielded twisted pair wire.
2. Check distance equalization settings.
3. For installations with passive (non-amplified) transceivers at both ends, check for ground loops. This may be done with an AC Voltmeter, as shown below:

AC Voltmeter

If the voltage is greater than 1/2 volt, use an amplified receiver, such as the NV-652R, NV-862R, or NV-1662R.

Alternately, remove the ground at one end (usually at the camera end). Be sure that floating the camera conforms to local/regional and National Electrical Codes.

1. Check for crosstalk from a second video path. Disconnect all other video sources. If the problem goes away, check for a split-pair or un-twisted wire.

FAINT STRIPES GLIDING UP OR DOWN THE SCREEN

These are caused by crosstalk from a second video path, or with ground-loops in installations employing passive models at both ends.

1. To identify, disconnect all other video signals temporarily. If the interference goes away, check the wire to make sure the signal is traveling through a twisted pair. Is two-way video being sent more than 1,000 ft (300m) over Category 2 or 3 wire? If so, the send and receive signals may need to go in separate jacketed cables, or upgrade to Category 5 wire.
2. Next, check for ground loops. See #3 above.

Check the blue "power" LED on powered NVT units. If the light is not on, the receiver is not getting power. Re-check the power source and connections.

If the green LED is on but the power LED is off, check that the power supply is floating. Grounding one side of the power input may cause this condition.

The NV-652R, NV-862R or NV-1662R series receiver/hub is not detecting a video signal. There is an open or shorted connection. Use a multimeter to locate the fault.

GHOSTS

Faint shadows of the original signal shifted to the right. This is caused by an impedance mismatch along the wire. Verify that the monitor is terminated with 75 (not in "loop-through".) Check that all wire is unshielded twisted pair. The high-frequency wire impedance should be 100. Check for bridge-taps (see below) either by inspecting wiring closet connections, or, if available, using a "Time-Domain Reflectometer" (T.D.R.), sometimes called a "cable tester".

If the faint shadows are not copies of the original picture, but from the picture of some other camera, check for crosstalk:

Is any portion of the wire un-twisted?

Are the signals from two cameras split between two pairs?

Is there a short between a conductor of one signal and a conductor of another?

CABLE AND POWER GUIDELINES

This chart shows the proper current needed for power supplies for Warrior Series cameras. Use Class 2 Power only. Input voltage must be between 12-28 VDC or 15-28 VAC

VOLTAGE	CURRENT	POWER
12 VDC	350mA	4.2W
24 VAC	202mA	4.8W

Depending on the voltage being used, refer to one of the formulas below to select the correct power supply for cameras connected in parallel (positive to positive, negative to negative):

Total current for a 12 VDC system:

TOTAL CURRENT = (350mA x total number of cameras) Example: 350mA x 5 total cameras = 1750mA

Total current for a 24 VAC system:

TOTAL CURRENT = (202mA x total number of cameras) Example: 202mA x 5 total cameras = 1010mA

NOTE: If you're using a 12 VDC power supply and experience problems check the voltage at the camera's power input. This voltage should not

be less than 11 VDC. If you're measuring less than 11 VDC you'll need to use a power supply with a higher current rating.

Power Supply Cable Maximum Length (feet/meters)

Total Load	Power Supply	24 AWG	22 AWG	18 AWG	16 AWG
4.2W	12 VDC	55/16	88/26	223/67	355/108
4.8W	24 VAC	867/264	1380/420	3488/1063	5547/1690

NOTE: The above table is based on a "worst-case" power supply. Using a regulated or switching power supply can increase your cable distance. A CSA/UL listed Class 2 power supply must be used. Videolarm recommends its PS12 12 VDC 1000mA power supply for 12 VDC applications
