2.2 Pre-installation Check List
1. Determine the location and distance for the power supply
box based on its voltage and current consumption. Refer
to Section 3 Cable and Wire Standards, page 31 for wiring
information and distances.
2. Use only UL listed liquid tight strain reliefs for conduits to
the Power Supply Box to ensure that water cannot enter
the box. You must use water tight conduits and fittings to
meet NEMA 4 standards.
3. Install all rough wiring including: power, control, video
coax, alarms I/O, relay I/O, and fiber optic cabling. Refer to
Section 3 Cable and Wire Standards, page 31 for video and
control protocol methods.
4. Analog AutoDome: If you plan to use the RS232 or RS485
protocol to control the AutoDome, refer to
Section 3.4.2 Controlling the AutoDome via the RS232
Protocol, page 37, or Section 3.4.3 Controlling the
AutoDome via the RS485 Protocol, page 39, for instructions
on configuring the AutoDome to accept these protocols.
NOTICE!
Power and I/O cabling must be routed separately inside
different permanently earthed metal conduits.
WARNING!
External interconnecting cables are to be installed in
accordance to NEC, ANSI/NFPA70 (for US application) and
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1 (for CAN
application) and in accordance to local country codes for all
other countries.
Branch circuit protection incorporating a 20 A, 2-pole Listed
