Use the formula below to select
the correct power supply for
cameras connected in parallel
(positive to positive, negative to
negative):
Total current for a 24 VAC
system:
TOTAL CURRENT = (202mA x total number of cameras) Example: 202mA x 5 total cameras = 1010mA
Note: 202mA is camera plus power supply
CAMERAS VOLTAGE CURRENT POWER
1 24 VAC/VDC 102mA 2.5W
2 24 VAC/VDC 210mA 5W
3 24 VAC/VDC 331mA 7.9W
4 24 VAC/VDC 487mA 10.9W
CABLE AND POWER GUIDELINES
This chart shows the proper current needed for power supplies for Q-View Series
cameras. Use Class 2 Power only. Input voltage must be
24 VAC/VDC.

NOTE: The above table is based on a "worst-case" power supply. Using a regulated or switching power supply can increase your cable
distance. Videolarm recommends using our PS24 power supply, or a CSA/UL listed Class 2 power supply.

The QRH is setup with (2) individual power inputs.
1. Accessory Power (yellow and green wire)
2. Camera Power (red and orange)
If you wish to provide a single power transformer it is recommended
that:
1. Be certain that you know the total power consumption of the hous-
ing Heaters (25 watts) + Blowers (2 watts) + camera/pan-tilt (not
supplied)
2. Check the supplied wiring chart to be sure that you have the
proper gauge wire for the distance that you intend to run your
power wires.
3. Bring power to the 3 and 4 position of the power connector (yellow
and green wire)
4. Two jumpers are provided in the housing packet. Jumper from the
1
st
position to the 3
rd
position and from the 2
nd
position to the 4
th
position of the terminal block. Be careful not to short between the
yellow and green wires.
