INSTALLING PENDANT MOUNT (POD9CW/POD9CFW)
1. This unit includes a 1 1/2" NPT coupling for a standard 1 1/2"
NPT pipe. The POD9 can be used with other brackets
designed with 1 1/2" male pipe threads, such as the Panasonic
PWM20G and PWM30G wall mount brackets.
2. Attach the housing coupling (Figure 2).
NOTE: Pipe threads should be clean and rust free. Use a
sealer (such as Teon™ tape or silicone sealer) on the
threads.
Figure 2
Add thread sealing tape
1. Mount the housing assembly to the mounting bracket and
housing coupling. A safety cable is included with the housing to
temporarily hold it while making wiring connections. Loop the
safety cable over one of the set screws on the housing coupling
and make the appropriate connections using the wiring chart
supplied on Page 4.
Set screws
3. Clean the outside of the dome.
2. Upon completing wiring, undo the safety cable and twist the
housing onto the housing coupling. Secure all (3) setscrews
provided on the housing coupling (Figure 4).

POD9CW/POD9CFW
4. Attach the wires from the wall to the connector provided, using the
wiring color code chart as a guide.
5. Once all wiring connections are made, place the wires inside the
wall mount bracket and close the access door. Secure with the
screw removed earlier.
6. Clean the outside of the dome.

Access panel
3. Open the access door on the bottom of the wall mount by
loosening the screw nearest the mounting plate (Figure 1).
1. A wall mount bracket comes standard with this unit, and a
template is included to use as a guide for mounting the bracket
to a wall. Choose the desired location for installation and mark
the drill holes using the template.
NOTE: Be sure the hardware and the mounting surface can sup-
port the weight of the wall mount bracket plus the weight
of the housing and drive unit. The load will be subjected
to vibration from the camera motor and wind.
2. The wall mount bracket provided with the POD9CW includes
a location for conduit entry. If you wish to install conduit to the
bracket remove the conduit hole plug. Install tting from below the
wall mount and secure with conduit nut from inside the bracket.

NOTE: This unit is designed for operation in an
upright position. Installing the unit
upside down may cause damage to the
internal equipment, and will void the
warranty.

HOW TO ASSEMbLE THE CONNECTOR
• Strip back the cable jacket approximately 0.1 inch
(3 mm) and separate the individual conductors.
Prepare the individual conductors for clamping. If
clamping, use Molex brand tool part number 57027-
5000 (for UL-listed-style cable UL1015) or 57026-5000
(for UL-listed-style cable UL1007).
After clamping the contacts, push them into the
proper holes in the connector housing until they
snap in place.
CAUTIONS
• Shrinking the cable-entry seal is a onetime
procedure. Do not shrink the cable-entry seal
until it has been determined that the unit is
functioning.
• CONNECT THIS TO A 24 VAC CLASS 2 POWER
SUPPLY ONLY.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, THE
UL-LISTED WIRE VW-1, STYLE 1007, SHOULD BE USED
FOR THE CABLE FOR 24 VAC INPUT TERMINALS.

the (4) 8x32x1/2 bolts and #8 star washers (Figure 1b).
INSTALLING QUICK RELEASE BRACKET AND PAN/TILT
CAMERA ASSEMBLY (ALL MODELS)
1. Open the housing by loosening the (3) screws on the dome
trim ring (Figure 1). Note the arrows and the word "Locked" on
the side of the housing and trim ring. Rotate the trim ring until
the bottom arrow aligns with the second top arrow, then pull
the dome and trim ring off.
2. Install the pan/tilt unit quick- release bracket. It is recom-
mended that this be done before installing the housing.
Figure 1
INSTALLATION FOR WV-CS954 UNITIZED CAMERA
1. Connect the quick-release bracket to the spacers using the (4)
8 x 32 x 1/2" bolts and #8 star washers to the top of the spacers
as shown (Figure 1a).
2. Attach the unitized camera to the quick-release bracket.
Secure the safety screw (Figure 2). Connect the BNC, power,
control, and alarm cables. Make sure all wiring is clear of the
blowers and heater on the housing bracket. Use the cable tie
provided to secure the wires and connectors.

2. Tilt and height adjustments can be made using the two screws
located on the upper portion of the xed camera bracket. Loosen-
ing the screws allows the bracket itself to slide up and down the
bracket arms (height adjustment) and back and forth on the cam-
era bracket (tilt). Adjust to the desired location (Figure 4).
3. The camera can also be adjusted back and forth via the slot
located on the bottom of the bracket (Figure 5).
4. Attach the camera to the bracket using the 1/4-20 hex bolt
provided. Make nal adjustments and lock down the pan, tilt, and
height adjustment screws (Figure 7).
