3 Getting Started
The MC320 camera is configured to operate under certain
conditions according to user-defined specifications. As such, the
camera is assembled, calibrated, and tested at the LumaSense
Factory and is delivered with the necessary components to create
a fully-operational system.
Assemble the system by connecting the cables as shown on the
System Configuration and Wiring drawing supplied with the
system.
3.1 Making the Connections
In order for the MC320 system to operate correctly, the supplied
hardware must be properly attached to the computer and power
supplied to the various parts of the system.
3.2 Connecting the Power
Insert the power cable into the DC In terminal located on
the rear panel of the camera.
Alternatively, the camera can be powered via a PoE (Power-over-
Ethernet) capable Ethernet switch. In this case, the power
connection can be left open.
3.3 Connecting Video Output
A standard NTSC or PAL monitor can be directly connected to
BNC video output connector. The default setting in the camera is
NTSC standard, but it can be configured to PAL standard via the
software.
To connect the Video Output:
1. Remove the cap over the Video terminal.
2. Connect the video cable.
3. Twist to lock the connector into place.
3.4 Connecting the Ethernet Cable
Typically, the system is set up by either connecting the camera to
a network device (switch) or by connecting the camera directly to
a dedicated computer using a crossover Ethernet cable.
The camera is PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) capable. To use this
feature, the camera has to be connected to a PoE enabled
Ethernet switch. There is no need for connecting a power supply
in this case.
Caution:
Because the MC320
system is designed for
specific application
situations, it is
imperative that you
configure your system in
accordance with the
LumaSense electrical
diagrams which were
supplied with your
system.
