Theft and Vandalism Deterrence
The NV3 NOPTIC method of installation was designed to provide easy, external mounting on existing spotlight hardware.
Storage
NV3 NOPTIC can be stored at temperatures up to 200°F (94°C).
Power
The NV3 NOPTIC requires a power source between 9 to 16VDC that is capable of delivering at least 3 amps (12VDC is nominal) and is designed for use with a negative ground system. Improper connection could result in equipment damage.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the NV3 NOPTIC system as it may void the warranty. The NOPTIC is not intended or warranted for the following environmental conditions.
RESTRICTIONS OF USE
| Repeated exposure and operation in sand or other abrasive grit. |
| Mounting orientations other than upright for the Pan/Tilt Camera. |
| High vibration or shock beyond that of typical on-road, off-road, or sea-faring vessel conditions. |
| Outdoor exposure to the elements for the Electronics Module. |
| Applications that subject front of Pan/Tilt Camera to oncoming debris capable of breaking the front optics such as rocks and low hanging branches. (See ‘Debris Protection’ feature in Care and Maintenance section). |
Installation of the NOPTIC system is straight-forward. Utilizing the installation instructions included with your NOPTIC shipment, simply remove your existing post mount spotlight head and replace it with the NOPTIC camera /spotlight head assembly. The systems wiring can then be routed as noted in the Installation procedure. Your local fleet installer can also provide other options for wire routing in the vehicle depending on your particular viewing application. See your Video System Operating Manual to determine the connector type and for ordering information on the compatible cable required with the RCA output jack on the controller.
