• Cable Length and Wire Gauge
24 V AC
The recommended cable length and thick-
ness are shown in the table for reference.
The voltage supplied to the power terminals
of the camera should be within 19.5 V AC
and 28 V AC.

Resistance of copper wire [at 20 °C (68 °F)]
12 V DC
Use the formula below to calculate the power
cable and power supply. The voltage sup-
plied to the power terminals of the camera
should be within 10.5 V DC and 16 V DC.
10.5 V DC
≤ VA - 2(R x I x L) ≤ 16 V DC
L
: Cable length (m) (ft)
R :
Resistance of copper wire (
Ω/m)
(
Ω/ft)
VA : DC output voltage of power supply
unit
I
: DC current consumption (A). See
specifications.
Note: When using 12 V DC power supply,
the optional heater unit is unavailable.
