This label may appear on the bottom of the unit due to space limitations.
The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to per-
sons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appli-
ance.
Attention: nstallation should be performed by qualified service
personnel only in accordance with the National Electrical Code
or applicable local codes.

4. COVE EMOVAL & EPLACEMENT
1. Using the special Allen wrench provided, remove the 4 tamper resistant
screws located on the cover.The screws are captive and will remain with
the cover. Refer to Figure 1.
2. Lift the housing off the base to make required camera adjustments. Adjust
the covert liner to position the opening in front of the camera when the
cover is replaced.
3. To replace the cover, align the captive screws with the threaded posts in
the base, fit the cover onto the base and tighten the retaining screws
securely.
5. INSTALLATION
Attention: Installations should be performed by qualified service
personnel only in accordance with the National Electrical Code or
applicable local codes.
5.1 Connecting Low Voltage Power & Video Signal
(Standard Models)
The wiring harness has a BNC jack to accept video coax.When mounting
directly to a wall or ceiling, run power and video lines to the desired location
using 3/4 inch conduit.
3. DESC IPTION & SPECIFICATIONS
These cameras are small, high security surveillance domes containing 1/3-inch
CCD cameras with integral varifocal lenses.The units come ready to use, and
mount easily to a wall or ceiling. Construction/Finish: Polycarbonate
Dome on cast aluminum housing.

Figure 2 Front of J45 Plug
Caution: Limit UTP wire runs to 1,000 feet (~330 meters) or less.
Feed the network cable into the housing through the rear or side conduit
hole. Route the cable through the housing and plug it into the RJ 45 jack
shown in Figure 4. Avoid putting any tight bends into the network cable.
Caution: Before proceeding to disconnect the power at its source, be sure
that the unit is of the proper voltage type for the line power.
Connect 24VAC to the unit by inserting the field supply wires into the 2-
position terminal block (supplied) and tighten with a flat blade screwdriver.
Connect Video cable to the unit’s BNC connector.
5.2 Connecting Low Voltage Power & Video Signals
(UTP Models: part number ends in –U)
When powering the unit and transmitting video over unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) wiring, ensure the UTP hub/receiver in the control room is compatible
with the UTP transmitter in the camera housing. Refer to the pinout below
to determine compatibility.

IMPO TANT: f mounting outdoors, or after servicing add a generous
seal/bead of RTV or silicone around the cables (on the inside of the
conduit) either at the camera or at the junction box. This will help
reduce moisture accumulation in the dome over long periods of time.
4. f mounting this unit outdoors or after servicing, apply a generous bead of
silicone sealant around the back of the base casting, surrounding all holes.
Apply the rubber base gasket to the back of the base casting and apply
another generous bead of sealant to the outer edge around the exposed
surface of the gasket.
5. Place the unit into position on the wall or ceiling. nstall the mounting
screws securely. f sealant is used, make sure that the sealant between the
wall or ceiling and the gasket forms a complete seal.Add more sealant if
needed. Make all final service connections and secure the conduit.
Important Note on Service:
1. When servicing the unit reapply silicon lubricant to the rubber gasket
between the lid and cover before replacing the cover.
2. When replacing the cover make sure the gasket is aligned with the
housing to ensure a proper seal.
5.3 Mounting and/or Servicing the Unit
Refer to Figure 1.
1. Using the rubber base gasket as a template, mark the mounting hole
locations on the mounting surface.The unit is intended to be mounted
with four #10 screws or four M5 screws (not supplied) through the four
outer holes in the base casting.
2. nstall the appropriate anchors or threaded fasteners.
3. nstall a 3/4-inch threaded service conduit coupling into the back conduit
hole, using pipe sealant on the threads. f conduit is to enter from the
side, use a 2-mm Allen wrench to loosen the set screw from the conduit
hole plug. Remove the plug and reinstall it in the conduit hole on the back
of the unit.
