Installation Guide
- Mount the IV-G500CA at 20 to 500 mm from the target.
- Keep the head square to the target surface.
- Use the dedicated cable to connect to the IV-G10 amplifier.
- Set the install distance before auto focus runs.
- Check the view size at your chosen distance.
- Avoid strong direct light and reflective background.
- Keep cable routes away from high-power lines.
- Confirm IP67 sealing after mounting.
Setup and Maintenance
Setup is simple. Connect the head to the IV-G10. Power the amplifier. Let auto focus lock. Then set color thresholds in the amplifier menu. Use pulse lighting for moving targets. Use DC lighting for static targets.
Maintenance is low. Clean the lens with a soft cloth. Check the cable for cuts. Check the connector for water ingress. Keep the ambient temperature within 0 to +50°C. Keep humidity within 35 to 85% RH. Do not use in condensing conditions.
Compatibility
- Works only with the IV-G10 amplifier.
- Uses a dedicated cable, not a standard port.
- Output and communication depend on the amplifier.
