General guidelines
This section provides you with important tips that you should be aware of before you begin
the installation, as well as the information you’ll need to properly position the Sharps.
This section includes the following topics:
• "General guidelines" on page 69
• "If you need to shorten the Sharp cable" on page 70
• "Sharp positioning guidelines" on page 71
Best practice: Use the following best practices when installing a fixed AutoVu system.
• The AC connection to the Sharp’s power supply should only be performed by a certified
electrician. Make sure to follow all local laws and codes.
• The Sharp should be relatively accessible for cleaning. Although the Sharp lens is protected
by a polycarbonate panel and a visor, you should regularly clean the panel for
optimal results.
• You can order the AutoVu hardware with a Pelco universal mounting plate.
The plate is compatible with the following Pelco mounts: EM22 / MM22 / EM2000 /
EM1000U / EM1109.

The Pelco mounting plate does not come with
standard AutoVu hardware. You need to specify that
you want a Pelco mounting plate when ordering.
NOTE Installation instructions for Pelco mounts and other third-party mounts are not
provided in this document. For more information, you’ll need to refer to the mount
manufacturer’s documentation.
• If you’re connecting the Sharp fixed cable to an Ethernet switch (sold separately), make
sure it’s an industrial Ethernet switch that is capable of withstanding the environmental
conditions of your area.
• It is recommended that you install surge protectors (sold separately) for your Ethernet
connection and power supply, especially if you are installing the AutoVu system in an
area with frequent lightning. For your Ethernet connection, a gigabit Ethernet (GigE)
surge protector is required. Here are some guidelines to follow for Ethernet surge protection:
